One Nation opposes this motion. Under my cross-examination during its presentation CSIRO has admitted it has never said carbon dioxide from human activity is a danger. CSIRO later admitted that today's temperatures are not unprecedented. CSIRO then cited references that proved that the rate of temperature increase is not unprecedented. Former Obama science advisor Steve Coonan recently admitted, 'The warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past 50 years.' For more than 10 years the current Greens Senate leader has refused to debate the empirical data and refused to debate the corruption of climate science on which the Greens' call is based. There is no empirical scientific evidence for decarbonising and deindustrialising our nation, yet Greens leader Adam Bandt supports European Union tariffs and Korean levies for supposed climate inaction. Without evidence, the Greens' nightmare call on the government would hurt the poor, hurt our natural environment, hurt jobs and gut our economy.
