The Australian Greens support a scientific approach and we support scientific research. Senator Rennick is a climate denialist and he wants to challenge other science that he happens to not agree with. The subtext of what he is trying to say here is that climate science isn't legitimate science, and he's undermining the excellent, high-quality work of climate scientists around the world and here in Australia. The Greens support science. We support the science that is done here and the quality climate science as is reflected by the excellent work done by the international panel on climate change. The government needs to act rather than to fiddle around with Senator Rennick's climate denialism. It needs to act on our climate crisis and act on the good science that our climate scientists do around the world.
