Morrison 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\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\n\n\n\n\n\n chriskkenny And if we meet these “targets” how much warming do we avert? chriskkenny I thought climate change is not real... chriskkenny The plan is not plausible.

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.
