One Nation will not be supporting this motion. The Antarctic is a largely untouched and entirely spectacular natural wonder which needs and deserves proper scientific investigation and research. Every dollar wasted on researching claimed human-caused climate change in the Antarctic steals research grants from genuine geologists, palaeoclimatologists, biologists, glaciologists and other scientists doing real scientific investigations. This chamber is the house of review. When will the Senate demand a review of the science into claims of human-induced climate change that has taxpayers paying billions of dollars a year with no environmental or economic benefits? Today is day 278 since I first challenged the Greens and Senators Di Natale and Waters to provide the empirical data and framework proving that carbon dioxide from human activity affects climate and needs to be cut and to debate me on climate science and on the corruption of climate science.

Question agreed to.
