Climate Spin of the Week: Mark Dreyfus | Australian Climate Madness

Could you be any more economical with the truth? Dreyfus’ statement is utter nonsense. The Copenhagen accord is non-binding and is barely worth the paper it is printed on, so to say they have “pledged” is simply weasel words for talking big to get a shaky agreement.

And the US is more worried about GFC Mk II than tackling climate change. The claims made by Dreyfus just don’t hold up.
