The new Australian Minister for Energy & Liberal MP for Hume Angus Taylor has "thought hard" about climate change for over 30 years.....
Excerpt form House of Representatives Hansard, 24 September 2014:
Mr
TAYLOR (Hume) (15:44): It is a great pleasure to speak on this matter
of public importance because I have had a deep concern about climate change for
over 30 years. I have watched the snowline rise south of here, and it is
something that I have thought hard about for over 30 years. That has meant that
I have come to the conclusion that there are three things that taking climate
change seriously really means. The first is effective and consistent policies
that actually contain global atmospheric concentrations. Secondly, that you
bring the Australian people along with you. Thirdly, you protect the Australian
economy so that we can pay for all of this. Let me tell you what I believe it
does not mean. It does not mean throwing lots of money at the problem for the
sake of it. It does not mean passing encyclopedias of legislation. It does not
mean putting endless programs in place. It does not mean establishing a cavalry
of so-called independent advisers and advisory boards. It does not mean turning
up at lots of global meetings.
