Howard Gvn. Defends Climate Efforts - Touts $2 Million In Spending

[hatrack]

OK gang, grab your Dr. Evil pinkie and repeat after me: "Two million dollars!"

The Federal Government has denied it is putting its head in the sand on the issue of climate change. Greens Senator Christine Milne says the issue of climate change is not being adequately addressed by the Howard Government.

EDIT

The Minister for the Environment, Senator Ian Campbell, says Australia is leading the fight against climate change.

"The Greens would serve themselves better if they were honest about the things that the Government is doing, rather than saying that we're doing nothing," he said.

"You can't spend $2 million on climate change and then be accused of doing nothing."

That's right, Ian - maybe "next to nothing" would be more accurate!
