An ALP politician, Nick Champion, has written a piece designed to scare the electorate. Rudd is concentrating on frightening little children.

Champion is quoting “National Security and the Threat of Climate Change” by General Gordon R Sullivan (Ret.) which paints a picture of “food and water scarcity, rising sea levels, increased threat of national disasters like hurricanes, storms and flooding, and a rise in infectious diseases. These threats could strike in Asia and the Pacific and could affect millions of people.”

He then goes on to talk about a ”threat multiplier” which includes every nightmare from failed states to resource scarcity all of which he sees as threatening our defences and our fault unless we introduce an ETS which would easily fix all the world’s problems.

He tries to blame us for all the natural disasters of the earth and would then deprive poor countries of modern coal fired power stations and confine them to dung and windmills in the name of responsible government and our national security.
