Climate change is a global problem and Australia should do its bit as a global citizen, GeorginaDowner says: ‘In the end we’ve got to look at what the federal govt is doing here. It is something people worry about and legitimately so.’ MORE: pmlive

Thousands of students around the country are skipping school to attend rallies demanding action on climate change.

More than 1,300 strikes are planned across about 100 countries in mass movement signalling to politicians that the world’s youth wants more focus on renewables and climate-friendly policy.

GeorginaDowner Haha why suddenly climate change is a problem? It has been changing from the beginning of the times. How do they plan to protect us from the solar activity?

GeorginaDowner Climate change is a hoax. Ur just another moderate too afraid to lose votes by telling the truth. Shame!

GeorginaDowner A lot of words without any commitment. These Liberal women Talk and talk and talk and say nothing of value. They have no convictions they call their own. The are practicing “Trump” style babble

GeorginaDowner Hypocrites!

GeorginaDowner Snowy & Tassy are no good without renewables to pump the water up hill. If you're still killing renewables they are a waste of money.

GeorginaDowner Shorter Georgina..I once had an opinion about climatechange but now there’s an election wipeout looming I’ve been told to have a different one. I’ll have lots of other ones too depending on the way the wind blows. I’ll say anything to get elected MayoVotes Election2019 Auspol

GeorginaDowner Sincerity is not her strong point just as looking at the coal alition action has no actual point either , still she has practiced the word's

GeorginaDowner Waffle, waffle, waffle...seriously this LNP govt that has worked rejected 4 different energy policies all to do nothing about climate change LNPfail auspol Mayo

GeorginaDowner But will Georgina be doing her bit to reduce reuse, recycle by writing tiny fake cheques instead of huge fake cheques?

GeorginaDowner Oh Geraldine, stop the nonsense.

GeorginaDowner It is something people legitimately worry about and yet you’re running for a party that laughs it off with a lump of coal in parliament

GeorginaDowner Let’s see what Labor does about it. Remember from 2007-2013 how Labor strongly opposed Gay Marriage? That all changed 😂 after it lost the election.

GeorginaDowner I.E. Daddy is looking at investing in renewables.

GeorginaDowner Such a problem that Georgina avoided questions on it for the entirety of the Mayo by election.

GeorginaDowner Like many comments this week from our political leaders on another matter, this is way too little and way too late. The horse has bolted and so many are desperately trying to catch a ride before the election!

GeorginaDowner You’re not joining communities around Australia demanding a fracking ban, you’re not prepared to support a federal ICAC, nor a Royal Commission into CSG either, are you Georgina? methane lobbyists Downer auspol sapol AusVotes2019

GeorginaDowner Pathetic impersonation of a human.

GeorginaDowner Daddy’s little airhead from LNPArsehattery & CCDenial to a new career in gymnastics 🤸‍♂️?🤔

GeorginaDowner What a Downer would not do for a vote. Entitled arseholes.

GeorginaDowner Looks like you have joined the hoax.

GeorginaDowner Saying we need not cut our CO2 because they are minuscule compared to other countries is like saying we may as well piss in the pool because everyone else does. I for one don't piss in pools, because I know I'd be adding to the piss levels.

GeorginaDowner Who is paying this woman? She is getting a shit load of money from the government to promote this B/S. It is called nature doing it's job. Where have you been since the dinosaurs roamed the earth? Under a mushroom, being fed B/S? You cannot control nature. Period.

GeorginaDowner OMG aren't they like a mob of sheep?

GeorginaDowner Must be behind in the polls!

GeorginaDowner The IPA wonder girl 🤖🤖🤖🤖

GeorginaDowner Georgina there is tons of research now that shows anthropogenic climate change is a hoax. Reviews have shown the faulty computer models, the altered data and lies to promote AGW. Modern science has shown no warming for 20 y, CO2 levels don't affect temp Sea/ice cap studies.

GeorginaDowner Watching , the Murdochracy, the IPA and LNP bend over backwards to appear more caring for the environment and more tolerant of Islam is one of the most pathetic displays of disingenuous pandering I've witnessed. And as for GeorginaDowner, enough. It's over.

GeorginaDowner Wow. Someone really wants to get elected. Now what her potential constituents say matters. Because no IPA person thinks this, ever. I have read all the 'unthink tank' documents they have published. And Abbott being sheepishly in favour of climate science. Yeah, right.

GeorginaDowner Did I hear Paul Murray say climate change is real? really? So tired of appeasers.

GeorginaDowner Oh FFS!!! Look into agenda 21. Climate change is a construct of the Club of Rome. We are being screwed. RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF!!

GeorginaDowner If the liberals don't understand that people are sick of political families like the downers or Clintons than they really don't have a clue what normal people want. Georgina has what a 10% chance of getting elected.

GeorginaDowner Libs now think there are votes in shift to the left....😂😂😂

GeorginaDowner The climate changes every day, it has for decades and none of the predicted catastrophic events have occured, that's because climate change is a coordinated global wealth distribution scam

GeorginaDowner 'They see the climate changing every day.' What an enlightening statement. How is that possible seeing as you need multiple scientific readings over decades to prove this which even then can be debatable? If this is the type of intellect in our parliament were screwed!

GeorginaDowner And then we need to realise that no matter what we do on a global level it means nothing. The royalties we earn permit us to indulge in other social initiatives such as education and health..

GeorginaDowner Doesn’t this desperate last minute vote buying just embarrass you GeorginaDowner. It’s insulting how dumb you think the general public are. Heads up, we see right through you.

GeorginaDowner These idiots are driving Australia to self destruction.

GeorginaDowner So much blinking...(lying)

GeorginaDowner Generation Z kids in a nutshell. They should be at school Monday to Friday not striking

GeorginaDowner It really is a “conversion on the way to Damascus” moment for GeorginaDowner

GeorginaDowner 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

GeorginaDowner You take everything seriously until your elected then your lot will do nothing.

GeorginaDowner Someone should explain to her the difference between weather and climate change. And could someone please get an engineer to explain to her why renewables are not the solution.

GeorginaDowner Bit late for damage control .

GeorginaDowner Once upon a time this was a good channel with newsreaders doing just that, but now after 6pm its just full of talking heads with with a bunch of nobody's as so called guests/panelists .only richo gets a tick.

GeorginaDowner Desperate U-Turns everywhere this last few days...

GeorginaDowner And now for the opinion of an unelected official purporting to speak on behalf of the government because she wants to fool her electorate.... notbuyingwhatyourselling

GeorginaDowner After so many years of denial, delusion, distraction & resisting action on ClimateChange, it's good to hear LNP politicians & candidates speaking out for ClimateActionNow Of course it's because there's an election coming & it's a key issue for voters! AusVotes2019 auspol

GeorginaDowner Because the Turnbulls are getting wet feet at their multi-million dollar waterfront mansion? Obviously 🙄

GeorginaDowner What they're worried about is what you're going to do to fuck up the economy in order to have 0.0% effect on climate change.

GeorginaDowner It’s a hoax full stop end of argument

GeorginaDowner Coalition politicians have started saying climate change is a problem that must be addressed but they have not changed any policies. It’s all words aimed at gleaning a few votes. Nothing more. And nothing will change unless there is renewal amongst lib membership.

GeorginaDowner Rubbish.

GeorginaDowner The Law should be changed , people who support climate policies, should hand there cars back, shut off all electricity and gas, and be banned from eating and drinking

GeorginaDowner Good lord, this lass has the hide of a 🦏. Only now does she see the error of her ways. Good luck in convincing the electorate of your change of heart. Of course apologising to everyone you mocked about CC prior to this might be a start.

GeorginaDowner Oh, look who’s back. And she’s changed her tune!

GeorginaDowner The only people stupider than Georgina (and the rest of these late Climate converts in the LNP) are those that vote for them thinking their change of heart is sincere

GeorginaDowner Sky News Australia is obviously in existence to politically divide the population for their own interests. As with all other mass media. They are literally ruining this country and they need to somehow be stopped.

GeorginaDowner These people are shameless. No wonder the public are cynical.

GeorginaDowner Who is downer? Is she an elected representative... no that’s right. She’s a rich girl promised an easy in to politics by her daddy, who’s family history as nation builders included trading slaves and murder.

GeorginaDowner It's like all the right wingers have been struck with fairy dust. Now after years of stirring racism. They suddenly love everyone and think we are part of so many problems in the world including climate issues they've opposed Now they believe. Next up Gina will protest adarni

GeorginaDowner Her new spots are only temporary.

GeorginaDowner Words words words

GeorginaDowner oh a band wagon over there.I'll just jump on and see if it goes anywhere.

GeorginaDowner Vomitous waffle, saying and doing nothing. Not so much a nation builder as a impotent observer of national destruction.

GeorginaDowner The govt has done nothing in 6 yrs. We're not going to meet our pathetically low emissions target. You've been a climatechange denier & now out of self-interest, you pay lip-service to the govt's phoney efforts to address the issue hoping to fool the voters of Mayo. Contemptible

GeorginaDowner Just not listening, doesn't get climate change. It's not day to day observations that are meaningful. It's longer term statistics about extremes and rate of change.

GeorginaDowner 'Some great projects' isn't an economy wide plan to significantly lower emissions, which is what other countries are doing. Too little, too vague, too late.

GeorginaDowner This silly woman has about as much chance of winning her seat as I have winning the British Golf Open

GeorginaDowner Not credible. Why has it taken this long? Who leads here, the public or the perennial candidate? Get some life experience and come back then. candidatesDisease

GeorginaDowner Extraordinary times. Liberals talking about climate change. Murdoch hate media refraining from hate speech.. when's the election?

GeorginaDowner Climate change is a political hoax

GeorginaDowner It’s not a problem at all

GeorginaDowner OK

GeorginaDowner Yes the climate does change and has been for the last 4 billion years. Driven by that big thermonuclear reactor in the sky. Good luck govt changing this. All I see is the poor old tax payer dishing out more!

GeorginaDowner WTF, I mean really, WTF!!

GeorginaDowner Your father is in big trouble

GeorginaDowner Is she talking about Mayo-naise.?

GeorginaDowner Fear politics. Climate change hoax. Paris accord money scam-slush fund for politicians. Scam scam scam

GeorginaDowner Is it just me or did it seem like her heart was not really in it. 🤣😂🤣

GeorginaDowner If we cut emissions by 100% it still would not impact the global climate in any way so what is the point....

GeorginaDowner What’s she going on about she is not elected in fact soundly rejected&certainly not a climate specialist/ scientist Why does Sky give her airtime she is NOBODY Downer crown👑doesn’t mean a thing she IPA switches her opinion to suit .GeorginaDowner go away stop inserting yourself

GeorginaDowner Dragged kicking and screaming - but still, too little, too late

GeorginaDowner Yes Georgina let's look at what the Federal Government have been doing on ClimateChange for the past 6 years. Oh. Look! It's Sweet Fuck-All! NSWvotes AusVotes2019

GeorginaDowner Hey, Georgina stands for entitlement. The market is moving far quicker on energy than government. Best time ever to vote in s progressive independent MayoVotes KooyongVotes warringahVotes

GeorginaDowner There’s been a conversion on Georgina’s road to Damascus 🧐

GeorginaDowner Turning that ship around like

GeorginaDowner Go Lobby China and India, when you've fixed their C02.. Come back for a second chat.

GeorginaDowner Travelled 4500 kilometres around Qld & 3500 k’s around NSW talking to Aussies & had no one mentioned climate change. Plenty talked about drought, mental health services, drug use, jobs, homelessness & most told me they felt the major parties had forgotten Australian families.

GeorginaDowner Rapid blinking - insincere. Yes there is drought and climate change, good to acknowledge that. But nothing of substance about Australia must actually DO about it. And the pathetic Howard cop out about 'other countries' AusVotes2019

GeorginaDowner Do these people have no shame? That includes the commentators. Or is Georgina just another rat Paul?

GeorginaDowner Reminds me of Trump, who was always a climate change denier. Then, just before the election, he made the right noises, vaguely. Then the day after the election, he went straight back to full denial mode. Surely no-one's this gullible.

GeorginaDowner But what’s “Our bit” Georgina?

GeorginaDowner There doing NOTHING lady back in your box

GeorginaDowner So now she believes in climate change? GeorginaDowner you are a fraud, we know you'll say anything for votes, but MakeMayoMatter is our choice.

GeorginaDowner “They see the climate changing every day...”. Really? What a rubbish uninformed inadequate statement. Conclusion: Not fit for the purpose of competently representing any Australian community.

GeorginaDowner The polls must be shockers! Georgina sounded like she cares about renewables.

GeorginaDowner Georgina4Mayo the latest polls must be shocking for the Coalition to stop Georgina mentioning coal once. The punters are not mugs. baseball bats at the ready for Georgina in Mayo.

GeorginaDowner No, Georgina. For starters, we look at what our current Federal Government is NOT doing to arrest Carbon Pollution. Then we insist that they make changes to their do-nothing attitude, and endorse the phasing out of coal mining, and coal-fired power. If not, we'll vote ALP.

GeorginaDowner Get rid of her another greenie

GeorginaDowner Omg. Georgina, just because you believe in fairies at the bottom of your garden doesn't mean the rest of us do.

GeorginaDowner Georgina, do you and you're family own an interest in renewables? Or have you just never really studied any science? Cause it's all BS, honey

GeorginaDowner Good thing she didn't win a seat

GeorginaDowner Jul 2018 'Reinforcing a local narrative that she’s inaccessible and avoids any engagement that isn’t carefully scripted, Downer chose to skip a candidates forum held by the local climate action group in Aldgate last night.' Election time, so now the lies start auspol

GeorginaDowner We know what her employers at the IPA think; consistently championing the cause of scientist Peter Ridd in particular, and several other climate skeptics. She certainly never distanced herself from that view when she wasn’t running for office. Elecxtion so out comes the bullshit

GeorginaDowner What? Not another idiot Downer. Is this one a crim like the other one?

GeorginaDowner Omg you guys are finally getting on board

GeorginaDowner Yeah right. Before her tilt at Mayo Georgina worked for the IPA which thinks 'Coal is still king' - see When questions on climate change posted on her FB page they were deleted. Now she can't backpeddle fast enough

GeorginaDowner simonahac omg

GeorginaDowner Instead of getting experts on you drag up these IPA goons and Dean.

GeorginaDowner More shocking about-face! Anyone have the clip with her denying climate change?

GeorginaDowner It's not a problem, it never was...without catastrophic Earth & Climate changes over time NONE of us would Exist...Adapt, Live, Create...Die

wendoureeswans GeorginaDowner Eh? Have I travelled into a parallel universe?

GeorginaDowner Multitasking between Climate activist/People media blind-folder. Next will she be writing a SPY/Espionage novel?

GeorginaDowner I am not worried at all as to what Australia is doing. But i am worried at how little China & India are doing. Yet not one school children protest in either country, go figure.

GeorginaDowner FFS George Downer m8 the left wanna hand a giant novelty check to the UN Zionista one World’s Government tfw auspol climatechange

GeorginaDowner Multitasking?Climate activist/People media blind-folder. Next will she be writing a SPY/Espionage novel?

GeorginaDowner Another ‘Globalist’!

GeorginaDowner Globalist

GeorginaDowner The Liberals are a big part of the problem. They deny climate change and promote coal.

GeorginaDowner Humans contribute 3% of global co2 emissions.

GeorginaDowner Meanwhile....reality is difficult when you live in a bubble of groupthink!

GeorginaDowner If you wanna believe in the tooth fairy, Father Xmas, the Easter bunny and religious nursery rhymes, then go right ahead and believe in climate change....... everyone is allowed an opinion.......

GeorginaDowner How unimpressive. Climate changes, but how much is man-made? Wow. Looks like this is going to be the Liberal line for the election. Reconsidering my vote.

GeorginaDowner Co2 - 400 parts per million Man-made Co2 - 12 parts per million Australia's man-made Co2 - 1 part per 6,400,000. Shall we pay the highest prices in the world and suffer blackouts for the possibility of half that 1 molecule being eliminated? CO2 is plant food.

GeorginaDowner The progressive religion of climate change is hoax. A couple of degrees warmer and nothing has happened. All predictions are from models programmed with one result. CO2 is not pollution.

GeorginaDowner Facts on global warming 1. CO2 is plant food not pollution 2. 0.8 of one degree warming since 1880 3. 0.5 of one degree drop in last 3 years 4. 135 billion tons of ice PA freezing 5. NASA have recently changed their predictions on sea levels rising.

GeorginaDowner Climate is over-arching, effecting entire Earth. CO2 is invisible. Easy to make stories no-one can see. Add fear for you children and guilt and you have a formula for mass hysteria. This is the biggest threat to real science since Galileo was forced to renounce heliocentricity.

GeorginaDowner Georgina, it’s lost, let it go

GeorginaDowner And our emissions are increasing.

GeorginaDowner Oh shit another Turnbull disciple!
