Hanson denies humans behind climate change, blames ‘fearmongering’

SBS, 24 Apr 19, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says humans are not behind the causes of climate change which she believes has been happening since dinosaurs were around.

Pauline Hanson has denied man-made climate change is happening, arguing “fearmongering” is behind global concerns about the environment.

The One Nation leader said the same shifts in climate that caused the extinction of dinosaurs are behind changes the world is experiencing today….

………We have volcano eruptions that actually spew out more carbon emissions and even the oceans do.”….Senator Hanson said there was “no scientific fact” about the impact climate change was having on Queensland – despite a wealth of credible, peer-reviewed research on the topic.

“There’s no peer review of these scientists,” she said. Senator Hanson also appeared to question the Bureau of Meteorology’s climate data, hot on the heels of an LNP Senate candidate doing the same.

“They haven’t released the true facts and figures as far as temperature changes over the years. They’ve fiddled with facts and figures,” the One Nation leader said.

Gerard Rennick, who is in the Queensland LNP’s winnable third position, last month accused the weather bureau of rewriting weather records to fit in with the “global warming agenda”.

“Our public servants are out of control,” he said on Facebook.

Labor’s campaign spokesman Jim Chalmers says both parties are being poisoned by “crackpot stuff”. “That’s very concerning to hear the LNP dance to One Nation’s tune on issues like climate change, which the Australian people want a sensible and responsible plan to deal with,” he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.

“It’s a reminder that it’s very hard to tell where One Nation ends and the LNP begins.”

The bureau has strongly rejected the allegations, pointing to the nation’s leading statisticians and mathematicians’ support for their methods. “That’s very concerning to hear the LNP dance to One Nation’s tune on issues like climate change, which the Australian people want a sensible and responsible plan to deal with,” he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.

The Road to War brings a sharp focus to why it is not in Australia’s best interest to be dragged into a war with China which will almost inevitably go nuclear very quickly. The filmmaker has interviewed some of Australia’s senior foreign policy analysts who have vast experience behind them in analysing what really is going on here as the United States rattles its sabres with China. And sets us up to be its proxy, like the poor Ukranians have been fed into the Meatgrinder. So America can remain the Top Dog. The Road to War reveals how the United States through its spy base at Pine Gap and by stationing six nuclear capable B52 bombers in the Top End (without permission from the traditional owners) is making Australia a prime nuclear target if the current war of words suddenly melts down into full scale war.

The Road to War shows the implicit connection between Carbon emissions (the US military uses a whopping 70% of America’s annual petroleum to move its armies and vast War Machine around the globe to its 800+ military bases..but under a loophole wangled at Kyoto, the US military does not have to report its C02 annual emissions). The Road to War starts screening at selected cities and regional centres in March. See the trailer end for details.
