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."

the minister for the environment?
He didn't even have the decency (that the NSW environment minister had) to shut up and leave the comment to the ministers for resource exploitation... we should get together and call for him to stand down as environment minister...
three cheers
three rowdy cheers for the Minister For F**g Up The Environment. Let's just hope that if labour get in next year Peter Garrett doesn't prove to be the "Minister for F**king Up The Climate"
