The question arises from the concern about some political parties and media engaging in climate change denial.
I commend the Minister and the team on their approach. Tackling climate change needs to be a national and international effort. Is it not time to call out some of the Opposition parties and their friends in the right-wing media for engaging in a propaganda wave of climate change denial?
It is important that we work at international, national, and local levels to tackle misinformation and be honest about the challenges. We have a responsibility to use words responsibly and disagree agreeably.
