Former UK prime minister urges Australia to lift its game on climate change

Former British prime minister Theresa May has criticised Australia for not being proactive enough in combating climate change while visiting the nation for the first time.
…
The MP for the UK constituency of Maidenhead branded as “absolutely wrong” the recurring argument that countries must choose between tackling climate change or continuing to grow the economy.
“You can do well by your economy and deal with climate. It just means you have to do business in a different way,” Ms May told the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry lunch, where she spoke for an undisclosed fee.
“Some of the innovations we’re seeing around climate change for the future, I think are hugely exciting.
“I know I’m sitting here in Australia so I’m bound to say this: I hope Australia is going to pick up this agenda of climate change rather more proactively than it has done up to now.”

Theresa May’s comments are more than refuted by Britain’s worsening green energy crisis, and the humiliation of Britain turning to coal a few months ago to keep the lights on, after all those billions of pounds worth of renewables failed to deliver during a Europe wide wind drought.
But in my opinion Theresa May has never been someone who lets inconvenient facts get in the way of what she believes.
When Theresa May was elected Prime Minister of Britain, there were hopes her reign would be a rerun of legendary Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, that May might be someone who could lead Britain into a new economic renaissance. Sadly the only resemblance between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher were the hairstyle and the handbag.
Exactly, how can we have prosperity if we’re taxed to death and the economy and industry are turned inside-out to support a fad that just leads to trillions being flushed into the sewer for no benefit.
What are her qualifications to make statements on technology?

“Countries Must Choose Between Prosperity and Climate Action”
Wow I thought, initially, that Theresa had had an epiphany and was going for prosperity! Alas she’s still a designer-brained lightweight political clone. She doesn’t know that if she went for prosperity she could become shoo-in for UK Prime Minister!
May was the one who set us on this mad course to net zero by 2050. She was the one who bungled Brexit which she probably didn’t want anyway. A thorough incompetent: what value her statement that you can have both prosperity & tackle climate change?
Here is a story of two young men in college who figured out how to make money from the methane that is flared from drilling sites. They have become millionaires as a result. The story reminds me of how part of the reason for the Texas grid failure was that flare gas was banned for use in powering the well heads, such a simple solution. Here is what they did. “Their company, Giga, places a shipping container full of thousands of bitcoin miners on an oil well, diverts the natural gas into generators, which convert the gas into electricity that is then used to power the miners.” … https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/12/23-year-old-texans-made-4-million-mining-bitcoin-off-flared-natural-gas.html
F off, sincerely, Australia
It is summer down here in Australia at the moment so she probably forgot all the people back home in the UK who are struggling to pay their heating bills.
WEF payroll? Seems a little too obvious that she is searching for her place in the cities rather than the districts.
Theresa May is such a non-event I did not even know she was here until I read this. I think you are giving too much air to this oxygen-thief.
Commonly called a black and white fallacy. They are also fond of straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks.
It’s infuriating to see these Progressive Collectivists rise to the top of the conservative party leadership.
Theresa May isn’t fit to travel to Aus. to represent the UK. Did she even consider how she got there, via a jet fuel burning airliner?
I choose Prosperity.
The above article’s first sentence:
That’s right . . . Britain’s lead to self-destruction should be followed straightaway by the former “colonies”, isn’t that obvious?
What an idiot, at least Cameron knew this was a crock!
