Australia has problems with racism but the cartoon isn't racist. We ourselves say feeding our people naturally higher priority than climate.

Paris was a tremendous defeat for the climate alarmists. Now that they have their treaty – a non-binding treaty – their ability to stir up political momentum to do more is undermined. If the environmental movement already has their agreement to save the world, why is anything more necessary. Especially anything that is costly to the hip-pocket such as a carbon tax.

The Greens, rarely for them, have settled for half measures. That was unwise considering these half measures are nothing at all apart from climate aid. Few like to remember that the Republicans still control the U.S. Congress. Centre-right parties control most governments in Europe.

Paris climate deal not meaningfully different from 1992 Rio accord. Bush 41 ridiculed for that deal. Obama will be praised for replicating.
