‘Stick to the science’: Chris Kenny slams PM’s climate alarmist ‘nonsense’

Sky News host Chris Kenny has slammed Anthony Albanese’s “alarmist nonsense” after the Prime Minister claimed scientific data warned climate change would cause more extreme weather events. According to the Earth Systems and Climate Change hub, the total number of tropical cyclones observed in the Australian region has “decreased significantly in recent decades”. "Climate models indicate that tropical cyclone numbers in the Australian region are likely to decrease this century due to increased human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases,” the report reads. The CSIRO also predicts a “strong tendency for a decrease in tropical cyclones” in the Australian region. “There you go Prime Minister. You can spend billions destroying our electricity grid and making our energy-rich nation energy-poor, making our energy more expensive,” Mr Kenny said. “You can do that if you like but don't try and blame cyclones on climate change, don't try to make political mileage out of people struggling in the here and now against natural disasters.”
