Hewson slams Coalition climate plan and backs agriculture to reduce emissions

Former Liberal leader and treasury economist John Hewson has delivered a scathing rebuke of the Federal Government's climate change policy during an address to farmers and industry leaders.John Hewson takes aim at the Government's policies and its"entrenched anti-climate sentiment'

"There's an entrenched anti-climate sentiment in the Government at the moment, and indeed government ministers are not turning up at events if they have the word 'climate' in the title., that we are going to meet our emissions targets, was a gross misrepresentation and was staggering for someone in his position."

RMIT ABC Fact Check looks at some of the key claims made by the Prime Minister at the United Nations to see if they stack up.Large multinational food companies are moving to adopt new targets to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change. "In the past six months, I've been back and relooked at all these companies' sustainability statements and noticed that they've all switched to absolute emission reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement," he said.

Agriculture to reduce carbon emissions? I take it he means things like crop growing. Most of which has now stopped because of damage to the soil and lack of moisture. I wonder what caused that? (I know the answer, I was being sarcastic).

Why should they listen to a proven failure?

what else is news? LNP gov is run by coal cabals fr PM down Just look at Pacific forum n drought visits Ministers n PM visited d dry farms but did not mention emission or coal output cut Full steam ahead gouge more coal

A Liberal who speaks intelligently and honestly That's a change

Naturally TheirABC didn't disclose that Hewson is chair of renewable energy company Bioenergy Australia and alsoThe Goulburn Community Solar Energy Co-op as well as a plethora of renewable energy investments. How very ABC.

ABC platforms one of the most underwhelming leaders the Liberal party ever had in criticising one of the strongest cabinets the coalition has ever produced over a non-existent problem. Yawn....... ClimateHoax auspol

It's NOT agriculture, the problem lies with humans, 30% is agriculture 70% humans get it wright please

Hewson and other centrists should start a new political party. The two we have now are hopeless.

Who cares about this lefty?

Hewson has zero credibility on anything! A totally failed and flawed politician! He’s been a constant loser throughout his life! He’s also a traitor to the Liberal Party!

Oh dear, what a sad old man, and you still refuse to report on the CNN whistle blower 🧐 , why would this be so i wonder?

Dung beetles, poo and charcoal help this farmer tackle effects of climate changeAn innovative West Australian farmer uses charcoal and exotic dung beetles to boost soil fertility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from his cattle. Nothing like regurgitating old news from 2014 in the name of global warming. Dung beetles are everywhere in Australia these days, wherever there is cattle you will find them and you will also see birds trying to catch them. Once you know what the little piles of dug up soil look like you notice them whenever the rain softens the ground.
