Angus and Climate Change
Alan Moir
In March, dozens of foreign ministers, energy ministers and state secretaries met virtually to discuss emissions reduction. Angus Taylor, Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, spruiked Australia’s proposed investment in low-emissions technologies. As some of these technologies are yet to be proven effective, Moir’s cartoon reflects the views of some critics that Taylor was acting as a snake oil salesman.
