A new poll from Galaxy Research conducted for Menzies Research Centre demonstrates Australia’s attitude to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The poll shows one third of Australians say the country should reduce its current emissions targets to match the Paris Agreement’s requirements. Sky News host Chris Kenny says this shows the government’s policy of doing the minimum for the Paris agreement will be good enough to satisfy most voters.
chriskkenny Its steam for gods sake. Dont put photos up that show false evidence !
chriskkenny I disagree. Australia should get out of the Paris agreement. It's a sham! The biggest polluters (China, India & ME) aren't reducing emissions. We should be energy-responsible but shouldn't cut our own throats for insignificant global results
chriskkenny Still a lot more who don't. 1/ 3rd not a lot. Get to 50% and ill listen
chriskkenny only 1-3rd , we have a small lot of people here in Australia not like china & Inda
chriskkenny In my books one third is not a majority. Far from it
chriskkenny Getting out of the Paris scam will satisfy most voters.
chriskkenny
chriskkenny no one asked me
chriskkenny Meanwhile 80% of Australians think they’re in the top 20% of their peer group and have opinions on 100% of the things they know nothing about.
chriskkenny Left climate scam altogether!!
chriskkenny But 2/3 don't Am I missing something?
chriskkenny ...because they’ve been brainwashed. Australia is responsible for 1% of global emissions. onceluckycountry
chriskkenny How? How much? How long before economy implodes and we burn cow dung for power? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

chriskkenny Give Chris credit, he’s proven he’s prepared to sacrifice any scrap of credibility he had as a journalist for his employer and LiberalAus. I hope his children and grandchildren appreciate the world he’s striving to bequeath them.
chriskkenny Yeah, let's ignore science and just take a straw poll on the future of life on the planet. FFS
chriskkenny Cmon Australia tell the socialists where to go. The Paris agreement is a con job. Remember when Hitler sent the Jews to the gas chambers on the trains, they went willingly. WAKEUP
chriskkenny the first thing the world should do is immediately stop any destruction of rainforests and allow the regrowth where they have destroyed it in every country.
chriskkenny Only in woof woof world is one third 'most' voters
chriskkenny Carbon emissions is life. The Paris agreement is a socialist policy.
chriskkenny We`re winning bigly ,ScoMoPrime will not be defeated Our Party is the eminence of solidarity,we will glorify our IPA with our good government Troops are now engaging the pollsters,victory is imminent auspol PraiseRupert
chriskkenny How do you equate one third with “most”?
chriskkenny Why not scrap it like trump? Instead of helping more Australian factories move to china.
chriskkenny Chris Keeny is a dope
chriskkenny I do believe this is actually a rare case of bullshitting about bullshit.

Australia urged against withdrawing from Paris Agreement | Sky News AustraliaAccording to US-based think tank Brookings Institution nations who stay in the Paris Climate Change treaty will ultimately be better off than those who renege on the agreement earlier.\n\nAccording to the data, Australia’s economic growth will slow by up-to-two per cent if it stays in the global agreement.\n\nHowever, according to the study’s authors, the benefits of reducing global emissions offsets the short-term benefits of unilaterally withdrawing from the Paris Accord.\n\nThe Paris Agreement was signed by 197 countries and is designed to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions at a level that would avoid dangerous climate change.\n\nSome conservative politicians, including prominent Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly, has urged Australia to pull out of the agreement, which came into effect in 2016.\n\nGrattan’s Institute’s Energy Program Director Tony Wood told Your Money Australia will be ‘worse-off’ if the government pulls out of the international effort to reduce climate change. rowandean DaveSharma Dave Sharma has sunk his chances of being elected for Wentworth. rowandean DaveSharma My goodness Dean Rowan is a garrulous of C isn’t he?

Prime Minister unveils $2 billion Climate Solutions Fund | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has resurrected Tony Abbott’s Direct Action fund as the centrepiece of his climate change policy, as his government seeks to calm voter concerns about climate change.\n\nRe-branded as the Climate Solutions Fund, the $2 billion, 10-year boost is aimed at ensuring Australia sticks to its Paris commitment to reduce emissions by 26 to 28 per cent by 2030. \n\nThe money will fund remote Indigenous communities, farmers and small businesses for projects such as revegetating land and replacing inefficient energy appliances. \n\nWith the May election just months away, Mr Morrison is hoping his climate compromise can win back voters in progressive blue-ribbon seats. \n\nLabor has promised to abolish the fund if elected, with Shadow Climate Change Minister Mark Butler saying Mr Morrison is throwing billions at a failed carbon blueprint that’s seen emissions ‘go up and up’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n ScottMorrisonMP PerrettReport I’m sick of this climate change rubbish. Morrison is no better than the others. Spineless politicians. ScottMorrisonMP PerrettReport Don't be so sure about the electorate. They voted for Kevin Rudd, didn't they. ScottMorrisonMP PerrettReport He’s not fair dinkum with anything. Everything he does is done with the idea that it will get him a lift in the polls. He’s ridiculous and he just lies so easily so can’t trust him at all!

Is Tony Abbott 2.0 really the strong climate policy Australia needs?A loophole might help us meet our Paris climate commitments, but policymakers need to realise the climate will respond to our emissions, not our accounting. NO!!!! The left wing lynch mob, in partnership with their buddies at GetUp, are doing whatever it takes to kick TonyAbbottMHR out of parliament. Yet taxpayers continue forking out. Why for fuck sake!! Geezus is that a rhetorical question? Is that how low the IPA/ABC has sunk? Can it get any lower? If the answer is T Abbot then the problem can only get worse.
