David Suzuki, probably Canada’s most recognised environmentalist, recently spoke in Australia following its election of a centre-right government that is showing little interest in climate issues. Suzuki is quoted:
“If we don’t listen to science, what are we going to turn to – the Bible? the Qur’an? An advertising agency? Australians are at a very critical time. You had a mechanism where science could be provided, with no commitment one way or the other, so that you could make up your own mind. By shutting that down, what does that tell you?
“I think it’s a crazy, dangerous situation if we’re going to marginalise science in favour of political priorities. I think that’s very, very dangerous.”
