It’s time for all of us to make our governments bow to the will of the people to take serious action on climate change. Conservatives this includes you!

Spending Billions on repairing fire damage, but endorsing new coal mines at the same time. Australia are wildly behind on climate change policy:

And what difference does closing coal mines make to Australian bush fires one way or another???

The beginning of billions upon billions to come -- the cost of not spending a fraction of it in the past on cleaner energy.

Between coal-loving "Should've done controlled burn off" spouting nubtjobs and climate change spewing lefties, I really don't know which side to take at the moment.

All in all, I will say that it's difficult to stay outdoors for even smallest amount of time.

So tell us what this "clean energy" is supposed to be. (And spare us the childish nonsense about windmills and solar panels.). And then proceed to tell that to China, India, and Africa too, which is where both energy and population growith is happening.

NB: If you are talking about research into 4th gen nuclear energy, no argument from me. That would actually be sensible.
