Backchat

Deciding to work from Abbott's premise that the world has bigger problems than climate change (and presumably that the main one is Labor's Legacy of Debt And Deficitâ„¢) this week we decided to look into the economics of climate change and the investment potential of renewables and carbon markets, and how they can boost Australia's economy. This week's show includes interviews with the CSIRO, advance findings from the Climate Council's report, Ross Garnaut with an economic perspective and chats with Opposition spokesperson for the Environment Mark Butler, and Greens leader Christine Milne. Who's missing? Only the Minister for the Environment, Greg Hunt. We asked nicely, too.
