Of course the climate changes, politician says, but idea that humanity is contributing to it is 'farcical and fanciful'
The Liberal senator Ian Macdonald has said children are being "brainwashed" by education campaigns urging Australians to take action on climate change, describing the political debate about how to tackle it as "puerile".
"The children of Australia have been brainwashed into thinking if you turn off a light in Australia, somehow that is going to stop climate change," the Queensland senator told parliament on Wednesday.
