RMIT University chancellor and former nuclear physicist Ziggy Switkowski is a warmist, alas, yet can recognise a useless gesture when he’s forced to pay for it:

Suppose one could immediately stop all Australian use of fossil fuels, then reaching a potential 4C rise in temperatures by 2100 would be delayed by only weeks. Withholding our coal and gas exports might add a few months if alternative suppliers didn’t step in - which they would.

The New Nostradamus of the North: The European Union defines success in Rio: A definition of "green economy"

Hedegaard, Potocnik and more than 50,000 other politicians and bureaucrats are flying (by private jet or first/business class) to Rio in order to discuss how to define "green economy"! The European Union is "satisfied" if the conference  adopts "a document with a clear definition of "green economy". 

Considering how many hundreds of meetings and conferences in different exotic holiday resorts have preceded the Rio+, the "green economy" document will probably be the most expensive definition ever adopted.
