Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The Prime Minister claimed today that he does things with the idea of promoting jobs and growth. How does having the environmental and economic disruption of three to four degrees of warming protect the existing 63,000 jobs in the climate sensitive Great Barrier Reef and the thousands of jobs in climate sensitive agriculture and create tens of thousands of jobs in clean energy in Australia? When will your government accept that acting on climate change creates jobs?
