Imagine, it's 1912, and you're a passenger on the cruise
liner the Titanic, heading towards New York. It's evident
something's amiss, as the ship seems to be going down. People
are freaking out, but then the captain appears before them, and
says, "Calm down. There's nothing to worry
about."
One would be forgiven for comparing this scenario to the leader
of this country appearing on national radio as our eastern states
were raging with unprecedented fires and claiming that these blazes
had nothing to do with the climate crisis, even though scientists
globally have linked them to it.
This ship is sinking, and the clown, who appeared in parliament
a few years back waving a chunk of coal around like it was some
holy grail, won't admit it. How can Australia be held
accountable for these fires, when the country only produces
1.3 percent of the world's emissions? the PM asks.
