Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says it might be necessary to “rekindle the benefits of unorthodoxy” to create an effective government response to climate change.
During Senate estimates a CSIRO official failed to explain why a previous CSIRO finding that said there was no evidence to suggest a link between climate change and bushfires was not found in a recent document explaining the bushfires.
Mr. Canavan told Sky News host Chris Kenny it would have been “pretty easy” to include the fact there has been no evidence linking climate change and bushfires in the document.
He said climate change activists however demand “it has all got to be one way” and “everything is a cause of climate change”.
“Scientists sometimes feel that pressure too and are somewhat reticent to put the more complex picture into papers like this,” he said.
“It is very easy to blame climate change and that becomes the orthodoxy and cannot be challenged, yet it leads to some very poor policy decisions.
“Everyone apparently is saying if we shut down coal-fired power stations there won’t be any bushfires in Australia anymore.
“It is absurd but it gets somehow established as gospel in this place.”

The real reason is the slimy Greens who seem to control everything in Australia. They lie, exaggerate, spin and bully to name a few misdeeds. They are the major cause of our fires and the cloud of lies perpetuated by them and our extremely leftist media. Every event is now called climate change, a mirage as we know but while the politicians are paralysed by them and the media lie like pigs in mud to cover for them, we will not see any changes.
The insane rush to get mountains of toilet paper because of a disease that attack chest and breathing like influenza also goes to show that the people who write the stories for the media are getting away with monstrous lies and worse still those that read and listen and then believe without question are all as mad as the Tyrants themselves. What I see today is truly A PLANET OF THE APES – but lesser form of Apes that have never managed to evolve.
