that prime minister scott morrison has conceded a link between climate change and events like this, but on the other hand, he has absolutely doubled down on his defence of climate change industrieslia's centre—right government, led by the prime minister scott morrison, is an ardent supporter of the coal industry. coal generates the lion's share of australia's electricity and also billions of dollars for the australian economy. there is clearly a political dimension to this. in may of this year, mr morrison won a federal election. no—one was really expecting him to succeed at that poll, but that was in large part due to support from mining communities. they were worried that the opposition policies for climate change may have impacted the mining industry, so they supported scott morrison. so mr morrison is acutely aware that part of his political base is within those mining communities. he doesn't believe that changing australia's climate change policies is essential as he says, if he were to do so, in his words, there could be economic crunching of australia's economy. so mr morrison acknowledging that the link between global warming and extreme weather events, but not willing t
