They are the real problems.

And what I find difficult to understand is that to solve the world's climate crisis, whatever that is, is we are knocking down forests to put in wind turbines.

These wind turbine blades have poisonous chemicals in them.

They've got asbestos in them.

and we are cutting swathes of forest, killing off wildlife, doing the same with offshore wind turbines to save the planet.

It's a bit like in Vietnam.

You know, we had to destroy the village to save it.

No, well, it doesn't.

But these are the cold hard facts.

And China's using Australian coal in these power stations.

Yet in my country, we've got thousands of years of coal there.

We're trying to ban the use of coal to generate electricity for ourselves, which is cheap and reliable.

Yet we're very happy to sell it to China and buy back their valuated products.

So we are killing off very large areas of prime agricultural land, putting in solar panels.

and these are contaminating the ground, these are destroying good farmland.

And again, we buy these from China that have been made with alcohol and we buy them at an elevated price.

So I think the world's going through one of its periods of going mad.

Follow the money.

The money hasn't dried up in the scientific community.

If a government decided that we would like to spend a lot of money on research on the next inevitable glaciation,
