Scott Morrison shuns Torres Strait Islanders worried about climate change

But Mr Morrison has declined, as has Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor to make the journey to Australia's north. "Just like those battling bushfires on the mainland, our islands are on Australia’s climate frontline."

The group argues the government has failed to invest in proper sea walls to protect them from rising sea levels.Mr Mosby said the complainants are demanding Australia increase its commitment to cut emissions under the Paris Agreement in the lead-up to COP 26 next year. “We’ll wait and see what Canberra declares in coming months, as will our fellow islanders across the Pacific.

“This is not a problem for another country to sort out. Bushfires, floods, droughts, extreme heat and in our case rising seas – this is the reality of living in Australia now,” he added.In their letter to Mr Morrison, the Torres Strait Islanders described how rising seas were threatening homes, swamping burial grounds and washing away sacred cultural sites.App

No surprises there.

100% The Government should ban the sale of ALL fossil fuels and the products made with fossil fuels to the Torres Strait islanders who’ve objected. Back to human power. But remember, No hunting protected species like Turtle & Dugong. And no wood fires.

Climate change 'didn't cause these bushfires', climate activism 'is making them worse' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says 'so-called experts' have been forced to admit 'climate change isn't the cause of these bushfires' but argues 'two decades of climate change activism is making them worse'.\n\nMs Credlin asked, 'If you were inclined to believe the activists, what's your explanation for all the other bushfire catastrophes of the past hundred years or more - starting with the Black Thursday bushfire in Victoria way back in 1851?'\n\n'Not only are the Greens insulting our intelligence claiming that climate change inaction is behind these fires, but they're also politicising a tragedy.\n\n'These days, it's hard to think of any problem that the green religion isn't making worse.\n\n'The bushfire crisis is just the latest, and currently most obvious example, of how green zealotry is contaminating so many areas of public policy.\n\n'Next time there's a flood, that too will be attributed by the activists to climate change.\n\n'Again, it's the green religion that says we can't have the cheapest form of baseload power because this might increase Australian emissions - even though Australia's total emissions each year are less than China's increases in emissions alone.\n\n'What we must never do is make things worse because our leaders shy away from the arguments they need to have and the Greens' misinformation that they must counter.'\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Sky do your job properly.
