Tony Abbott has betrayed the bush, on climate change

Forget Abbott’s wishful thinking, climate change is here http://www.armidaleexpress.com.au/story/4993119/forget-abbotts-wishful-thinking-climate-change-is-here/?cs=2452 , Gregor Heard@grheard 17 Oct 2017, TONY Abbott was proud of his strong interest in rural Australia during his time as Prime Minister and it can be said it was more than mere rhetoric with his record of visiting and engaging with rural and regional areas arguably superior than anybody in recent history.

With this in mind, his recent claims in London regarding climate change can only be viewed as a betrayal of the bush by someone who has always seen themselves as a champion of our farming communities.

To stand up before an audience and suggest climate change was probably not real, and flippantly then say even if it was, it would probably be a good thing because the cold is more deadly than the heat is an insult to farmers across Australia’s cropping belt.

It’s a difficult thing to debunk the myriad myths presented in the speech, but let’s make a start.

Climate change is real, and we, through inland Australia are placed to cop some of the worst effects of this change.
