If this bushfire crisis, this nation-wide trauma, can’t loosen the denialists’ grip on Coalition climate policy, then maybe nothing will. The Coalition cabal who apparently still call the shots thinks climate science is “voodoo”. Just like they’ve been blowing up national climate action for more than a decade. Many of the drivers of greenhouse emissions are actually the responsibility of the states – urban transport, land use, electricity generation and transmission. A bunch of billionaires are backing massive renewable energy export policies despite the lack of a coherent climate and energy policy.
