1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Okay, quick quiz for you think of the Labor Party,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: who is the climate spokesperson. Yeah, no, you didn't get

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: it right, because it's Deborah Russell. I know, I didn't

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: think it was that either. I didn't know it. And

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: you know what, it's my job to know this kind

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: of stuff, but to be fair to me. In the

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: entirety of this year, thus far, Deborah has only put

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: out three press releases on the climate. And the third

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: one was today and guess what it was about. It

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: was announcing that Deborah is going to the Annual Global

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Climate Conference COP thirty and she's going to be leaving

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: on Sunday and she's going to be coming back Saturday,

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: which means she's there basically for a week, because of

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: course she is, because Hoo doesn't want a week in

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Brazil on the boss's credit card. I see what Deborah's doing,

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: but let's also see this for what it is, right,

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Debrah's contribution to the climate this year is three press

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: releases in a long haul flight to Brazil return, So

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: all up and net negative contribution to the climate, which

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: pretty much is the story. Though, not to pick on

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Deborah here, because this is what everybody's doing. This is

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the story of every single COP, isn't it. Thousands of

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: people fly into a place burning up who knows how

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: many emissions, only to have a gab fest, issue a

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: bunch of press releases and really achieve nothing, a massive

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: net negative for the climate. That's what Coppers. You know

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: what the big news story out of Coppers today that

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: it's failed. One point five is dead. It will not

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: be achieved. This was what we were told we needed

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: to do to save humanity. Hitt one point five, keep

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the temperaturizers to one point five no more. We have

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: known for a while that one point five is dead.

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: It is now officially dead. So Debrah is flying to

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: a conference that has already admitted that the aim of

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: COP twenty six, which is four conferences ago, which was

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: to keep one point five alive, is actually dead in

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: the water. In which case it begs the question, why

38
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: do we keep wasting emissions to go to an annual

39
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: get together that fails every single year. I think I've

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: got the answer, because it means a week in Brazil.

41
