THE ENVIRONMENT
It appears Scott Morrison has been given a well-earned snub by the United Nations summit on climate change â ââPM shrugs off summit speaking gigââ (The Age, 11/12). How dare our government pretend that we are making a serious contribution to reversing climate change by forgoing the credits arising from a Howard-government deal at Kyoto in 1997. Australiaâs shamefully weak commitment was accepted in the dying moments of a conference that had struggled hard for a unanimous pledge to ensure a better future for our planet.
