Through the heatwave haze, the hypocrisy of Australia’s fossil fuel policy shines bright | Clean Air The heatwave in Melbourne and Adelaide this week is likely to become the norm. We should prepare now

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The science is clear:

β€œAcademics from World Weather Attribution have already published an analysis that found the heatwave that blanketed much of Australia in early Jan was 5x more likely to occur now than before human-caused global heating changed the climate.”

Pauline Hanson infamous 1996 interview | 60 Minutes Australia
YouTube video by 60 Minutes Australia Pauline Hanson infamous 1996 interview | 60 Minutes Australia

In 1996 Pauline Hanson gave her infamous β€œPlease Explain” interview with 60 minutes … the cringeworthy interview was basically a litany of uninformed complaints. 30 years on Hanson is still prattling on about the same β€œboogeyman” - what policies or legislation has she drafted?
