down the road to climate change lunacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dribble coming out of these Senators is mind-blowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labor, the Greens, the Nationals and the Liberals are hell-bent on sacrificing Australia on the altar of net-zero, when Senator Wong couldn\u2019t even explain what net-zero means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They lie to us, telling us that reducing Australia\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions will save the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a load of claptrap to push UN agreements and grab votes by peddling fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you could reduce Australia\u2019s emissions to absolute zero overnight, China will replace them inside 12 months, yet we continue to allow carbon-intensive Chinese imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They lie to us, saying that renewables are cheaper, when in fact they are directly responsible for Australian households being forced to pay some of the highest electricity bills in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These electricity bills are the biggest component in the rising cost of living that is reducing Australia\u2019s living standards and forcing many families into poverty and homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labor is desperate to enable its 82% renewable energy by 2030 policy and achieve a 43% cut to Australian CO2 in the same timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Treasurer has already warned that this will require more drastic interventions by government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d say that government intervention is what has mainly led to the 300% increase in our energy costs since renewables began to pollute our energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More government intervention is only going to make things worse, and make energy cost even more than it already does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For centuries, prophets of doom have been declaring the world would come to an end and the climate change nuts have brought this nonsense into the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They say fires, floods and cyclones driven by climate change will limit food availability \u2013 what a joke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re experiencing some of the biggest yields in the world due to carbon dioxide, which is essential for plant growth and the basis for almost all life on this planet.#<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s destroying food production: politicians around the world are destroying our farming sector in the insane quest to get rid of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind turbines, transmission lines and solar panels are doing more damage to our planet than carbon dioxide ever will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are allowing our children to be brainwashed into this lunatic cult in our schools and universities due to a lack of critical thinking, and debate being discouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Labor and the Coalition are pushing this climate alarmism and One Nation is committed to opposing them every step of the way by putting Australia\u2019s best interest first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
