The article discusses the backlash around climate change in Australia. It states that failure of the Copenhagen talks and combined with the leaked email scandal of climategate and the admission of the possibility of error in one or two climate projections, allow the sceptics and deniers more media time. It notes that the lack of action where even the feeble scheme like the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) has opened up the way for political calls for more concrete practical action.
