'Young people are terrified': Adam Bandt defends Greens rhetoric on climate and fires | fergushunter

Greens co-deputy leader Adam Bandt has defended his party's language over the catastrophic bushfires that have ravaged eastern Australia, saying the government has failed to respond adequately to global warming and young people are terrified about their futures.. Mr Bandt accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of putting Australian lives at risk with inadequate climate policy and his Senate colleague Jordon Steele-John said the major parties were "no better than arsonists".

"I think you should listen to the emotion in Jordon Steele-John's voice as he is talking there. I think he is the youngest member of Parliament – he is part of a generation that is terrified and aghast with what they are seeing with the climate crisis.

Mr Bandt also said he did not regret pointing the finger at Mr Morrison over Coalition climate policy, maintaining that Australia's enthusiasm for coal-fired power was contributing to climate change and exacerbating bushfires. He called on Australia to play an international leadership role on emissions reduction.

fergushunter It is a pity that the Greens are the only Australian party with a really progressive agenda and their leaders behave and communicate like spoilt brats. Anything but their view of world is totally unacceptable. That’s is not the way to make friends and influence people.

fergushunter Young people may well be terrified , because assholes like Bandt are exaggerating the perils of climate change . The feeling among'st those children too young to really understand is that the world will perish within 10 years .

fergushunter Shouldn’t we all be terrified of dying one day? Or are we supposed to live forever?

fergushunter Yea, let’s buy your US$14 trillion climate remote control device, BTW it comes with no guarantees LOL. CO2 is now only 0.04% of atmospheric gas, plus today’s levels are historically low, yes it’s low!! Do the real science folks.

fergushunter Plent of resources for the boomers after that you are on your own, would try and find a good cave nearby fresh water

fergushunter Australian Politics is the “ FEAR GAME “. Bandt trying to terrify young Australians via climate change . Dutton & co trying to terrify older Australians via all refugees being ISIS terrorists , Everything is taken to extremes, this is so like the US style of politics .

fergushunter Adam you let yourself down today. Your as bad as the PM and Albo . None of you are grabbing the moment constructively and as elected parliamentarians should. You need your butt kick as much as Steele. You all need Grow up and be adults or go away.

fergushunter People (young and not so young) are terrified. Not because of persuasive language used by ‘others’ to describe climate change. It’s because they understand the terrifying reality of climate change. Nothing else. No one else.

fergushunter No they aren't, majority don't give a sh*t! Just the paranoid adults spitting out conspiracy theories, lmao!!

fergushunter I’m an adult and I’m terrified by the lack of inaction by this dumb government ClimateEmergency

fergushunter Incorrect, stupid young people are terrified.

fergushunter Young people are systematically being brain washed and indocrinated in to a controlable future society worse than religion.

fergushunter Great thinking Adam, do whatever you can to make them more terrified. Hopefully enough people will be sick of your rubbish and you get voted out.

fergushunter Tell them to drink a cup of concrete like the rest of us have to do then adambrandt. Terrified? Sheeeeeeesh.

fergushunter And that's just how the Greens like it.

fergushunter The highest level soy.

fergushunter Dont be scared

fergushunter If you're stupid enough to let the media preach to your kids, then ofcourse they'll be terrified. But in reality. There's nothing to be terrified of that's actually real.

fergushunter Most people are terrified of the unknown. If they learnt the truth about the climate change alarmist bullshit you spruik , they wouldn't have to worry so much.

fergushunter Hey u want to lie u will be judged by god. Good luck dude

fergushunter There needs to be a Televised debate .. Climate Change .. both parties put thier case to the Australian public .. people have only read and watched one side of the climate change. ..

fergushunter The young people that are terrified have been terrified by Bandt, Di Natalie & the other clowns like the ‘red bandanna child’, theirABC,Mike Rowland, Cassidy, Trioli, the clown on Media Watch, Shorten, Plibs,Marles,Lee,KK,Wong etc. All guilty of child abuse chargetheabusers

fergushunter We have been having bush fires forever. Yes we are in drought which has made it worse. This is not the worse we have had and we will have more. The Catastrophic rating has only been in for 10 years. The media beat up has been over the top. Yes it’s bad, but we have had worse.

fergushunter Terrified 😂

fergushunter Two images of Venice proof of climate emergency scam.

fergushunter Young people playing video games than taking notice about ClimateHoax as i was when the hole in Ozone was how they tried to scare my generation. Young people vote Greens 1st time then next election we realize the bullshit. Never again.

fergushunter The best thing he could do for his Senate colleague from WA is get him some psychological help.

fergushunter Young people are terrified, because the rhetoric used, the media hype, has them believing all sorts of wierd stuff. getting real information, real timescales, NOT emotional hype, is hard.

fergushunter Socialists at their finest. Using young people to advance their politics knowing it's hard to criticize kids....

fergushunter Luckily we didn’t all curl up in the foetal position and suck our thumbs when bushfires burnt out 5,000,000 hectares in 1856. None of us would be here now!

fergushunter Greens are clowns

fergushunter Greens are nothing but a Fearmongering freak show

fergushunter Brainwashed boomers defending rich corporations destroying the environment and a lot more things sure are scary, the amount of stupidity is scary...

fergushunter Too right they are. My children are really pissed off.

fergushunter FakeNewsMedia Greens & Gov Leaders+Schools use Fake ClimateHOAX Emergency to spread Fear when fires deliberately lit? Activists/Fear Inciters must be held accountable! And an investigation of Political Ties/Prior Knowlege/Contacts of Arsonists?🤔WeSeeU

fergushunter As are we old fuds...

fergushunter Children should not be manipulated and used in adult matters and issues. With all the adult cries of wolf and screaming of doom and gloom, is it no wonder that children are affected.

fergushunter Only the hysterical ones that swallow your bullcrap.

fergushunter Adam, give up.....you have caused enough grief already.
