Australia’s PM refuses to change climate policy after deadly fires:

Scott Morrison Australia’s prime minister has defied a call within his party to reform policies on climate change following catastrophic bushfires in the country, vowing he would not do any activity that eventually would “wipe out” his nation’s resources industries.

Mr Morrison’s comments, which follow an unprecedented crisis in which fires have burnt millions of hectares and killed an estimated 1 billion animals, cast doubt over if his government will make any major changes to the climate change policies after the fires.

“We are dealing

“We are dealing the same way with our climate policies in as we took them to the election. We will help ourselved to meet and beat our emission reduction targets to achieve our goals as to not see such type of disasters in the future,” Mr Morrison told “I’ll tell you what I’m not going to do.

he further added that he is not going to put a carbon tax on people and he is not going to increase their electricity prices and their costs of living neither he is going to wipe out resource industries.”

Australia contributes about 1.3 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions but researchers argue that

if emissions from its fossil fuel exports are included in that calculation the figure rises to 4 per cent.

The commodity(Coal) was the country’s most valuable export in 2018 as Australia is the biggest coal exporter globally.

Parts of the ruling National and Liberal party coalition attribute their 2019 election win to their championing of the coal industry in the northern state of Queensland, where a large coal mine has been proposed.

Despite facing serious criticism that Mr Morrison during the fires went on holiday in Hawaii, analysts do not believe the crisis has left him vulnerable to a political challenge from within his own party. He only recently won re-election and the party has altered internal rules to make changing its leader more difficult.

But recent opinion surveys show Australians, including Liberal voters, are increasingly concerned about climate change.
