The Australian declares the Greens dealt out of the debate because they have paid attention to the science of climatology and opted for effective and timely carbon emission cuts in an attempt to limit climate destabilization to within a range modern organized human activity can adapt too.
There is one major asinine agent in the debate about climate change and the actions to address it and that is the double dealing and hypocritical Australian that likes to dress it self up in the cloth of free and fair without using any rigour to test it the evidence of the contributors who claim some scientific understanding of the subject.
One can accept it publishing the muddled and confused, the politician with an opinion and little else to back up his assertions about the effects of inaction on reducing greenhouse gas emissions or the impact of transforming to a low carbon economy.
However to declare a party that has followed the best advice available in formulating its safe Climate Australia policies in the interests of avoiding a global catastrophe that for Australia will make all other disaster combined pale into insignificance is completely unacceptable.
The only thing that can be driving this approach is a deadly fear that Labor, under the threat of the love child of the old ideas of the Liberals, something The Australian praises whenever it benefits the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry, will do a deal with the Greens and get its CPRS legislation through the Senate.
Otherwise a party that is regularly vilified, when it is not being ignored by this and other media outlets, could be safely left in the wilderness of no comment, no interview, no opinion piece and no coverage or exposure especially during elctions.
It is unfortunate that the future will be one of many troubles with the natural world and the climate proving the Greens have the correct policies and The Australian only the low venal interest in monetary gain.
