Where has Mr Morrison obtained the information that increases of CO2 will not create runway global warming?

Nothing could be further from the truth.

What are the political and social agendas that he alleges that "delusional brainwashed kids" are pushing, and for whom?

Using what scientists have discovered about the Earth's weather changes over thousands or even millions of years as a guide to what is happening now is ignorant and reckless.

"Never mind that category 5 cyclone, Fran. The same thing might have happened thousands of years ago. It's all part of a cycle."

It doesn't change the facts that the climate is becoming more extreme, catastrophic and destructive.

The UN will be releasing a report in May, with the subject being ​'The rapid decline of the natural world is a crisis even bigger than climate change'.

This is a three-year UN-backed study from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform On Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and it has grim implications for the future of humanity.

Humans account for only 0.1 per cent of all life on the planet, yet we, as a single species, have managed to wipe out 85 per cent of wild land animals, 80 per cent of marine mammals and 50 per cent of natural plants, according to this intensive study.

The destruction of the world's tropical forests by fire, chainsaws and disaster erased about 37 million acres (58,000 square miles) of tropical forest in 2017, an area larger than Bangladesh.

Land clearing is happening at this alarming rate for commercial gain only.

Palm oil plantations accounts for an estimated 9 per cent of deforestation and, alarmingly, the other 91 per cent is directly attributed to the production of beef.

In fact, the animal agricultural industry accounts for an estimated 51 per cent of CO2 emissions, more than all of the forms of transport and industrial pollution.

I applaud Greta Thunberg and the students who followed her lead.

I see no 'agenda' behind speaking up for the planet.

Today's children are inheriting the earth from the very people who have contributed to so much destruction.

So, Mr Morrison, please ... open your mind to the distinct possibility that climate change is real and that each and every human is to blame.

Our Energy Minister has said that to stop building and refurbishing coal power stations is to de-industrialise.

Is that right or wrong?

Will sticking with coal deliver more jobs and jobs that utilise new technology in Hume or be more of the same?

Let us get the view of a highly successful Australian businessman, software billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, who addressed the senate on this topic recently.

Mike told the Senate that Australia can become a renewable energy super power, as reported in the Financial Review dated March 18.

Mike Cannon-Brookes would be following in the footsteps of British billionaire Sanjev Gupta who against the odds was able to rescue the Whyalla Steel Works (and its jobs) using a plan that included reducing power costs by switching to renewable energy.

Hence Sanjeev was able to save a significant part of our heavy industry and create jobs in the new technology of renewables.

Is Sanjev's vision and action and Mike Cannon-Brooke's vision a better path to more jobs or our Energy Minister's vision of more of the same? What do you think?

Sonnen, by announcing a tenfold increase in production at their Australian battery factory, have joined those that Member for Hume Angus Taylor say will cause de-industrialisation.
