Australia’s electricity and climate agendas aren’t on the same page.
Every one of us is vulnerable to thinking that the ideas we hold dear are reasoned or principled positions. But how many of our ideas are adopted and defended as part of our tribal identity?
Sceptics are not necessarily less intelligent or knowledgeable.
Many thousands, perhaps millions, of lives depend on the direction of Trump’s climate policies.
China has pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030, but is planning a 20% increase in coal power by 2020.
In a ‘post-truth’ world, presenting both points of view can often be misleading.
One of Donald Trump’s senior advisers has recommended cutting NASA climate research because the science has become “heavily politicised”. The question is: by whom?
