Prime Minister still in denial over climate change?

"I think climate change is important. I don't think it is as important in this election as economic management." "I don't think the world is about to come to an end because of climate change. I think we have to have a balanced approach." "There's only one big issue in this election campaign that dwarfs everything else and that's economic management." Response from a citizen "I don't know how you can say that economic management is far and away the single most important issue in this election when the issue of climate change threatens the survival of humanity right across the planet," said the caller, identified as Steve. "I have a daughter. I am worried sick about climate change," Steve said. Comment from an ex-politician who likes to tell it like it is... That was is downfall in 2004... On the environment, Mr Latham said the western world enjoys the trappings of an industrialised society that heavily contributes to pollution and is in no position to tell third world countries how to behave.
