It 20 21 22 was “clean” coal, in the sense that it had been 23 24 lacquered so that it wouldn’t dirty people’s hands. Morrison passed it around to his 25 26 27 28 29 parliamentary colleagues saying “Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it won’t hurt you. It’s 30 31 32 coal.” 33 34 35 36 ScoMo (as the Australian media have nicknamed Morrison, presumably because 37 38 it sounds a bit like “scum”), is now prime minister, and as the country burns he 39 40 41 42 continues to deny any link between burning coal and global heating. He ofers his “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 fires, but insists that climate change is only one of “many other factors” in fuelling the bushfires. Deputy PM Michael McCormack takes an 56 57 58 59 even more robust line, dismissing climate change as a concern of “raving inner-city 60 61 lefties”. at will not endear him to the 62 63 64 hundreds of families who have been burnt out, but there are millions of families who 65 66 have not yet lost their homes, so this may still be a viable political position. 67 68 69 70 Of all the major emitters, only the European Union is taking its responsibilities 71 72 73 seriously. e rest range from deeply 74 75 76 77 78 79 conflicted countries like China and Canada, both aware that climate change is an 80 81 82 existential threat but both hugely dependent on fossil fuels, to the outright deniers like 83 84 85 86 Australia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the United States. So one by one, we are missing all the exits 87 88 89 on the Highway to Hell. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2019 9 TELEVISION ON TV THIS WEEKEND THE PRINCE OF EGYPT Saturday, 7pm, MAORI TV
