    There’s widespread support for this amongst voters, just witness the recent Australian election for proof of that. Where >90% of voters voted against any action. I.e didn’t Vote Green

    Compound that with near zero understanding of climate change, the pervasive view is slightly warmer summers and AC is the answer and not much to worry about vs the seemingly ever more likely exestntial risk

    See the link above to an article about increased coal production from Australia and the insanity of the defence of the orthodoxy.

    Hope so, but politicians subsidising coal companies (definitely not for personal benefit) is the standard here. Environmental science is denied, and even for the non far-right parties, background deals ruin progress (looking at you albo).
