Australia needs to take action with a “sense of urgency” to develop policies to prepare for the health impacts of climate change, according to Labor’s health spokesperson Chris Bowen.
“The world and Australia has failed to act with appropriate seriousness and haste, and so we will need specific policies to deal with the health impacts of climate change,” he says. He will point to estimates that 250,000 people around the world will die each year as a direct result of global warming by 2030.
Labor's health spokesperson Chris Bowen says climate change should be recognised as a national health priority.Mr Bowen will say Australia is particularly vulnerable to more prevalent heatwaves, natural disasters and the health impacts of climate change.“Vector-borne diseases will become more prevalent and widespread. Heat waves, which claimed many lives in Australia will be more common and more severe.

'Emotion often triumphs over reason' in the climate change debate | Sky News AustraliaSky news host Chris Kenny says “the trouble” with the climate change debate is that “emotion triumphs over reason”. \n\nIt comes after Greens MP Adam Bandt defended his colleague Jordon Steele-John after the WA senator criticised the major parties' climate change policies, branding Labor and the Coalition 'no better than arsonists'.\n\n“So Bandt says Steele-John's erroneous and offensive slur should be forgiven because he's emotional,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nThe Sky News host was also sceptical of reports senior ABC employees have called for the establishment of an 'ABC staff climate crisis advisory group.'\n\n“This is Extinction rebellion-level hyperbole and alarmism deep inside the national broadcaster”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Chris Kenny doesn't do reason, stop pretending that he's a reasonable commentator instead of part of the problem. As undecided as I am about the whole climate change shit, 'Chris Kenny says' on any topic is just a total joke without any humour Little poppets like Gretal who don't know their science
