Title: Australian Resources Minister doesn't like it when you try to save the planet
Post by: Tolpuddle Martyr on July 13, 2017, 01:06:11 am

Aussie federal resources minister was nonplussed when the Queensland state Labor government made a vague pledge to reduce greenhouse emissions to zero by 2050. All this talk of doing something to make the planet livable in the next thirty three years upset him.

Instead of trying to save the planet in 2050 the QLD labor should just concentrate on saving jobs today! (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jul/13/stop-trying-to-save-the-planet-matthew-canavan-tells-queensland-government)

Well it's a change from denialism I guess, at the very least coming out and saying "fuck the planet, make money in the short term" is unusually honest for a conservative politician with deep links to the mining industry.

Apparently those are who are in charge of our governments.
