Greens spokesperson for Healthy Oceans, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, has called bullshit on Tony Abbott’s continued climate change denialism saying that every time he opens his mouth he deliberately insults the world class efforts of Australia’s climate science community.

Senator Whish-Wilson said, “Almost half the Great Barrier Reef is dead from mass coral bleaching, summer after summer we have unprecedented heatwaves and bushfire risk, and yet Australia’s worst ever Prime Minister wants to further diminish this country by using his platform to promote climate change denialism.
