“Coal is the moral choice, particularly for the developing world... The model for the world right now should be Australia. Australia gets it.

Planet Earth is dynamic and evolving. Climate changes are cyclical and random. Through the eyes of a geologist, I would be really concerned if there were no change to Earth over time. In the light of large rapid natural climate changes, just how much do humans really change climate?”
