Climate Change Deniers have morphed into Clean Energy Deniers
As outright climate denial reduces, opponents of climate action have pivoted to attacking clean energy itself. Delay is the new denial. In Australia. #AUSpol #Australia #ClimateChange

New report by Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) highlights the significant public health risks associated with fossil gas across its entire lifecycle, refuting claims of it being a clean energy source. The publication notes that domestic combustion of gas is directly linked to severe respiratory issues, including modelling that attributes 12.3% of childhood asthma cases to gas cooktops.
