On 17 June 2013, the Climate Commission (in Australia) released “The critical decade 2013: Climate change science, risks and responses” (http://climatecommission.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/The-Critical-Decade-2013_Website.pdf) and it contains stark warnings about the future of the planet and the need to act very very soon.

The key findings include these:

“We are already seeing the social, economic and environmental consequences of a changing climate.”

“The changing climate poses substantial risks for health, property, infrastructure, agriculture and natural ecosystems.”

“… far more needs to be done to stabilise the climate.”

“Most of the available fossil fuels cannot be burned if we are to stabilise the climate this century.”

The Climate Commission could be staffed by a bunch of pinko tree-huggers who just want to upset people, or, more feasibly it could be staffed by concerned and highly credible scientists who deal in FACTS!

So, what is the answer to the question: “What do conservatives do when science says the planet is in grave danger?”. This is:

When the current Opposition becomes the Government on 14 September 2013, it will abolish the Climate Commission (and repeal the Carbon Tax, of course)! This will stop the dastardly reports of the Commission and thus no climate issues will exist! Woo hoo!
