My question again to the Prime Minister is on climate change. Did the Prime Minister actually is say on Lateline two days ago that a four to six degree temperature rise would ‘be less comfortable for some than it is now’? Given that CSIRO states that a three degree rise will result in the decimation of the Great Barrier Reef and the dengue fever transmission zone reaching Brisbane and possibly Sydney, what exactly did you mean when you said that Australians would be less comfortable?
