The black hole in Tony Abbott’s frat party climate policy
As Tony Abbott equates masculinity with the repudiation of climate and green energy policies, a new study finds Direct Action is complete nonsense, would lift costs and would not cut emissions. But that’s OK if you think climate science is crap.
