No matter what he says in Paris, Turnbull is still handcuffed to the climate change dinosaurs | Larissa Waters

Turnbull's speech at the Paris climate change conference was a stunning example of fine but empty rhetoric, but we're still left with the status quo

Saying one thing and doing the opposite is clearly not a smart political strategy but it seems to be becoming the prime minister's modus operandi, especially on climate change policy.

As Malcolm Turnbull demonstrated in Paris this week, the climate dinosaurs of the coalition parties still pull the strings on what he can actually do to tackle global warming. On the other hand, what he says about climate change does appear to be crafted with the intensifying public momentum for climate action in mind.
