The stance of the current Australian Prime Minister – Conservative Tony Abbott, pictured left – is isolating the country on the global stage as climate change becomes each day more serious.
As Climate Progress recently reported, Abbott has been aiming sharp criticism at the G20, the IMF and the United States, among others, as they are considering that warming temperatures are a threat – which they indeed are, all to clearly.
This is taking place as the carbon tax put in place by the previous government is taking a massive toll on fossil fuels and as renewables are soaring in Australia as the local website RenewEconomy shows.
