While we wait for a Liberal (any Liberal!) to show some spine on net zero, Tim Wilson is peddling disinformation about crossbenchers’ voting habits.
Wilson needs to look to his own affairs and stop making up rubbish about others.

Labor must not partner with climate vandals on Australia’s new environmental laws | Tim Flannery
If the government cuts a deal with them, it risks repeating the mistakes of the Abbott era, sacrificing progress for politics
This week the National Liberal Coalition has rewound the clock a decade. When Tony Abbott’s government abolished the Climate Commission in 2013, I knew it was a political act of climate vandalism. Abbott simply didn’t want to hear the facts: that pollution from coal, oil and gas were cooking our planet.
For a decade after, denial evolved: from shouting that global heating wasn’t real, to claiming it could be solved later. Continue reading...

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
