How much do banks and insurance companies have to gain with the climate change agenda?

Can banks charge higher interest rates if there is higher climate change risk?
And can insurance companies deny claims fail to insure based on increased climate change risk?

Always have to consider corporations financial interests.
Not to mention those who benefit from changes in government legislation.

The year 2035 is still 10 years away. Denialism is cheap talk. Can you predict the future or just rely on the future to disbelieve the outcomes.

All i know is the colonials who fled their own country did not do that for no reason. And yet they are the hardest right of govt in AU history.

The AU people speak by right of vote, so be it. Not so simple agitators continue to disrupt the law of the electoral vote.

Govt: is not a game of football or religion where your preferences are assigned to you the day you are born.

"Can you predict the future or just rely on the future to disbelieve the outcomes."

Five year forecasts are mostly garbage. Twenty year forecasts are complete garbage. The shortcomings of a grid powered by wind and solar are based on solid science and are becoming apparent with high and rising electricity costs along with massive destruction of farmland and natural heritage. Dispatchable generation like coal is still essential, and the cost and viability of renewable energy infrastructure has been grossly underestimated.

Nuclear power is a viable and proven option for low carbon generation, and the French have demonstrated that an entire grid can be powered with nuclear one and a half times over in fifteen years if there is a will to do it. Trump is laying the groundwork for nuclear power in the US by overhauling the extreme regulation which has hamstrung the industry for nearly half a century.

The woeful economics of a wind and solar grid would be apparent without all the secrecy about the details. Australians are being conned and bled dry by renewable energy carpetbaggers.

Nobody knows what will happen 10 years down the road. The West could collapse before then, the way it is going. Given China's aggression, the whole world could be a smoking ruin. And, a good many of the people making wild predictions will be out of public life, or dead.

In the meantime, climate change cannot be stopped.

Chris Bowen’s Climate Change department is refusing to release information about intentions that they came up with just after the election.

They are claiming exemptions under the FOI Act.

Unelected bureaucrats are even more dangerous than politicians.

For all we know, they are pulling Bowen's strings: putting the ridiculous words into his mouth. After all, he is clearly not very smart, and his excited gabbling and jumping around in Parliament is that of a hyperactive toddler.

"For all we know, they are pulling Bowen's strings:"

Previous releases of information have been very embarrassing when scrutinised, so the secrecy is no surprise and is likely from the executive.

Attacks on critics and expenditure of $170 million last year to sway public opinion has been suggested as evidence the naysayers are winning according to Peter Ridd.
