Prime Minister Scott Morrison has backed his government’s current climate settings as the G7 advanced economies forged ahead with more ambitious emissions reduction commitments at this week’s summit

“We will decide what’s best for Australia in Australia’s national interest,” Mr McCormack said. “It [coal] pays for a lot of hospitals. It pays for a lot of schools. It pays for a lot of barista machines that produce the coffee inner-city types sit around drink and talk about the death of coal.”

Climate Action International executive director Tasneem Essop said the G7 resolution was “unforgivable. Short-sighted. Selfish.”“The $100 billion promised a decade ago is the minimum of what is needed to build trust before COP26 [at Glasgow in November] and meet past obligations,” Mr Essop said. Meanwhile, a controversial change to the remit of Australia’s Renewable Energy Agency , proposed by Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor in, is expected to be put to a vote in Federal Parliament’s lower house this week. Mr Taylor wants to allow ARENA to fund fossil fuel technology including carbon capture and storage and “blue” hydrogen, which is produced with gas.

JoshFrydenberg aren’t you embarrassed by how backwards our view is compared to European countries. We are trying to live in the dark ages. ScottMorrisonMP why don’t you just announce your real view on science as your election policy: you only follow it when it suits you!

Morrison didn’t get his bilateral meeting with JoeBiden because he’s now on the nose in Washington. Morrison can spin it any way he likes, but that’s the reality. G7 auspol

'Climate settings'!? We have climate settings? I thought it was open slather for carbon robber barons to pretend it's the 18th century again ... or still.

Morrison is a serial pest Biden will chew him up and spit him out

Morrison is an international embarrassment.

Tragic

This G1 conference was very successful, G1 means Australia

Useless

G7 leaders did not possess ‘unanimity’ on strong message to China | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says despite some strong words about China in the communique produced out of the G7 summit, it appears there was not always “unanimity” among the leaders regarding the intensity of the message. \n\n“We also got a strongly worded communique out of the G7 leaders this morning with several mentions of China, whether it be about the treatment of the Uighur people, or Hong Kong, also around trade,” he said. \n\n“But it seems there wasn’t unanimity the whole time on the strong message sent to China out of this forum.\n\n“The Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi let that slip in his discussions with Scott Morrison when he met him ahead of their bilateral meeting”. \n\nMr Draghi told Prime Minister Scott Morrison the “only difference of views” among the G7 leaders was the “intensity” of the messaging around China. \n\n Villain1982 aclennell aclennell

G7 summit may mark a ‘major reset’ of western alliances | Sky News AustraliaThe G7 summit may mark a “major reset” of the western alliances since other world leaders have welcomed the fact US President Joe Biden is “a member of the club”, according to Sky News contributor Michael Ware. \n\n“This is potentially a significant reset of the alliance of leading liberal democracies in the world,” he said.\n\n“Certainly, in terms of America as President Biden put it — America is back.\n\n“That’s certainly been welcomed.\n\n“The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says President Biden is a breath of fresh air. \n\n'The French President Emmanuel Macron says that it’s great to have a US president who’s a member of the club and is very eager to cooperate.\n\n'And Angela Merkel says that President Biden’s election now means that the world can start looking for solutions to its problems with much more zest.'\n Wonder what promoters of US President have exposed that some these alliance might not get people's support as US concept of democracy is premised on suppremacy-an anathema to equality.

G7 summit: A tale of 'liberal democracies' versus 'autocracies' | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the G7 theme was summed up in the words of US President Joe Biden – who spoke of a 'contest' between liberal democracies and autocracies.\n\nPresident Biden's remarks came after he was quizzed about what to do in particular with Russia and China.\n\n'I think we're in a contest, not with China per se, but a contest with autocrats – autocratic governments around the world,' President Biden said.\n\n'As to whether or not democracies can compete with them in the rapidly changing 21st century.\n\n'I think how we act and whether we pull together as democracies is going to determine whether our grandkids look back 15 years from now and say did they step up.'\n\nMr Clennell also said Prime Minister Scott Morrison would feel 'completely vindicated' over his stance on China as there's 'no doubt' the UK, US and Australia are all on the same page that China has 'behaved badly' and must be stood up to.\n\n'I think that Scott Morrison will feel completely vindicated by what's occurred here both in the G7 communique and the statement out of the summit,' Mr Clennell said.\n\n'There's a belief that China, from these three countries, China has behaved badly and that you have to stand up to bullies, that's the belief, and that's the tactic they've gone for so I think Morrison will be quite happy with that.' aclennell Nah, that's only your opinion, of news. Here's what they were interested in. Not much on China either. Scotty didn't get his exclusive meeting with Biden either. Yep Welcome to the Australian Autocracy... Australia does no how much AMERICANS hate liberals right 🤣 they Liberal more than communists
