Angus Taylor accused of dismissing climate change threat

Original: “But Taylor goes further. On Wednesday {230926}, he implicitly dismissed climate change as a threat.” Adam Morton, Guard

Angus Taylor, the Australian opposition's energy spokesperson, is being criticised after comments on Wednesday in which he implicitly dismissed climate change as a threat, according to Guardian reporter Adam Morton. Critics, including commentators online, describe the remarks as wilful ignorance and argue he is unfit to lead the Liberal National Party on energy and climate policy.

Why now: Taylor's remarks renew debate over the Australian opposition's climate stance and his leadership credentials.
