Stupidest quote of the week......if not the year. Federal Environment Minister, Ian Campbell, responds to the NSW Land and Environment Court decision that climate change from burning coal is an impact of coal mining that must be assessed, with the following quotes: "It's a disastrous decision for climate change." (well, I suppose it might actually be a disastrous decision for climate change, since it may help efforts to fight climate change. Is the Minister implying that he supports climate change?) "If we think we're going to solve the problem by closing down fossil fuel industries, we are actually going to destroy any chance of a solution." What? It get's better, with this one he gave to the ABC: "What we need to do as a world is keep mining coal."
