Asked about insurance premiums (which are going up because of climate change) Albanese says:
Can I talk about the science? I will be a Prime Minister who backs it up. The science is very clear. It doesn’t mean that every single weather event is because of climate change. It does mean the science told us the events would be more extreme and they’d be more frequent.
That is what we are seeing playing out. Whether it be increased bushfires, flooding, extreme weather events that are having an impact. When we talk about the costs, this is one of the costs. The cost to our economy as well as the cost to our environment and not acting on climate change. Not being a part of the global solution are severe.
Not opening up fossil fuel projects would be one of the things that backs the science, but Labor is still doing that too.
