Scott Morrison has used his biggest moment on the world stage yet to attack"internal and global critics" of his Government's climate change policies.Scott Morrison tells the UN that critics"willingly overlook or ignore" Australia's work on climate change

Earlier, he suggested media was responsible for"misinformation" spread about his Government's climate policiesThe Prime Minister has been slammed by scientists and a few businesspeople for skipping a special climate conference in New York on Monday.But during a wide-ranging address to the United Nations General Assembly, Mr Morrison hit back, claiming critics"willingly overlook or ignore" the work Australia has done to curb emissions.

The Prime Minister pointed out that Australia is responsible for just 1.3 per cent of global emissions, said the country only accounted for 5.5 per cent of global coal production and stated that $13.2-billion was invested in clean energy technologies in Australia in 2018. He also declared the nation had"overachieved" on its 2020 Kyoto protocol targets and would meet its Paris emissions reduction goals too.

Him and his deniers buddies need to go! It will too late by the time they pull their collective heads out of the proverbial...

Here we have proof you can polish a turd.

Congratulations ScottMorrisonMP Australia knew it but after your address to the UN the entire world now knows you’re a LIAR of Trumpian proportions.

He had a large audience we noticed.

Except that

The left wing media and politicians pushing the climate change agenda are backed by the very same billion dollar corporations causing most of the pollution. It's like a dog chasing it's tail.

As long as no one mentions nature! Keep the guilttrip alive! The control freaks would have hated this speech!

'We've done nothing and I want to boast about it' shamejobmorrison

Morrison's ill-advised UN temper tantrum, accusing other nations of misrepresenting his government's actions on climate change was Trumpian. His evangelistic shouting did his argument no favours. Simply he is too full of himself and it will bite him on his broad Pentecostal bum.

Great speech Prime Minister.

no mention of the children he has imprisoned on Christmas Island and in the asylum prisons around the country. How is their anxiety

Good to you Scomo

go Scott! Australia is doing way more than it should already...we had the election and the LNP won it in a landslide...go away loony lefties!

Lies, lies, lies and more lies from this immoral man. ScottMorrisonPM

Are all the Hypocrites going to stop buying Chinese manufactured products? Didnt think so.

Oh yeah. Because this climate change stuff is completely “fake news... why the mass hysteria?”

Some socialist strategies never change.

How many Aussies whining on this thread that climate change is fake, have actually lived OUTSIDE of Australia and felt the effects in their everyday life? 🙋🏻‍♀️ It’s not fun having to wear an earthquake grade face mask to your job for weeks on end because of tainted air.

In Australia, it is the public and industry that are leading environmental reform. Our Goverment will sit back and do nothing, yet will take the credit for the improvement in our environmental credentials.

Folks each Australian produces more pollution than almost every other person on the planet. Yet Morrison insists we can't change because all of the billions who are poorer combined produce more pollution than all of Australia. This position smacks of superiority and entitlement.

His BIG Chance to be a LEADER and he proved he’s a Lying Dinosaur with His Head Where The Sun Don’t Shine

Yep, and that's without even reducing emissions by a single tonne... We are still increasing and increasing by a bigger annual rate than China

Isn't marketing great, no substance and no idea. Lie, lie and lie again.

This from 1989 UN so-called research study. We should have been goners 20 years ago.

A very sad day when you lie to the world in the name of the contry

Wot? Did he headbutt himself?

Cringe

Well mate, you have just lost a few more votes, keep going.

ScottMorrisonMP you being a Christian, wouldn’t you want to take better care of what God gave us We can do so much better looking after our planet 🙏🏻

$150 million to Mars project would be better spent on planet Earth i.e. On the Climate Crisis

With all due respect, Mr Morrison, why do you behave like that in front of an international audience. Most Australians know we don't have a serious climate change policy framework, so don't embarrass us in front of the world by pretending we do. Try being honest & ambitious...

climate change is working 24/7 ....just look up and see.

There they go again, confusing spending with policy.

Pity he didn’t remind realDonaldTrump that he promised to ditch the UN. Should be kicked out of the building, the city and the country. Let a leftie progressive terrorist country take responsibility.

LiarfromtheShire on tour.

Could just about see his nose growing by the minute!

Scumo “we’re doing nothing, and we expect you to back us and do the same things, the world us fucked, lets do it for the kids”

That kid Greta should not be skipping school. There are people /adults out there who are out and about using children for propoganda.

Australia is responsible for just 1.3% of carbon emissions and is home to less than 0.4% of the global population

Why only NOW?

Paying farmers billions of dollars to not clear land they wouldn't have anyway is not a climate change policy, it is a bribe. Grow up Scott.

What an absolute insipid leader. Stay there Scumo. We don’t want you back.

Come on where is the critical analysis? He says we’ll meet our targets but those targets ain’t what they could have been. Don’t let him off the hook like that. This isn’t politics as usual, it’s a global emergency.

This guy is living in the dark ages 🤬🤬🤬

Let kids be kids...unless they're from another country. Lock those kids up in detention centres

He's got a climate change policy?

You mean he said: Our govt will decide where our taxes go rather than automatically them over to unelected and unrepresentative thieves

I'm not disputing climate science. Why, because I haven't read it. I don't believe thousands of our kids have read it either. Where are our kids getting their information from? Facebook, YouTube, Instagram?

...Ah, back to 0 days without embarrassing us as a country eh ScottMorrisonMP? Yeah, thanks.

When the future of both our planet and our species is at risk we don’t just say “we’ve done our bit” or “we’ve played our part” we should go above and beyond every single target and ensure we exceed them. Just saying “we’ve done our bit” is an arrogant stance ScottMorrisonMP

His aim of slamming climate change critics didn’t work!

What Scummo fails to acknowledge is that Australia accounts for 26% of the world's carbon emissions. We just export them first so other countries get credited with them.

He got a few tips from Trump while in the US.

Smoke and mirrors 💩

polished......... with coal.

You show video of a teenage activist speech, but not our Prime Minister. At least we got quotes, but I no longer trust you included everything worth hearing.

Of course he does

World leaders discussed climate. The PM admired a 'smart Drive-Thru'The Australia-shaped void in the climate summit program was a reminder how much has changed in the past decade... This time around Australia wasn't trying to punch above its weight. We weren't even in the ring. | ANALYSIS How embarrassing for us all He's just plain useless. I wouldn't wanna sit there and get moralized to by a child that doesn't know shit and is a political pawn. Everyone knows who the major contributors are but because of dollars in pockets no-one calls them out. China being the prime example.

Scott Morrison cautions against imposing 'needless' climate anxiety on childrenPrime Minister Scott Morrison has cautioned against raising the anxiety of children over the ‘very real issues’ of climate change concerns. Why is it that Scomo chooses to believe in a big bloke in the sky but when shown physical evidence of the detrimental effects of a changing climate, he chooses not to believe? He is an embarrassment. Global warming aka anthropogenic climate change is the stepping stone to your total enslavement at the hands of the elite. Embrace this false narrative at your peril. agenda21 agenda2030 orwellsnightmare ClimateScam
