Welcome to the 'test run' of a carbon-constrained society | Sky News AustraliaThe coronavirus pandemic has managed to achieve what climate change activists such as Greta Thunberg, Tim Flannery, and Leonardo DiCaprio all failed to do says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Kenny said, in regard to climate change, we are now in fact “saving the planet” in the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. \n\n“Well, that is, if you think the planet is under threat, and that cutting carbon dioxide emissions will rescue it, then we are saving the planet”. \n\n “What Tim Flannery, Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett all failed to do, is being achieved by the coronavirus,” he said. \n\n“As COVID-19 has shut down the world, greenhouse gas emissions have been drastically reduced'. \n\nMr Kenny said the climate activists 'should be celebrating in the street'. \n\n'Why aren't the green-left out there trumpeting this news, beating their chests and claiming victory?”\n\nMr Kenny said the answer is “kinda obvious”.\n\n“Because this is how you cut emissions, you put people out of work, you shut down industries, you crush economies, you stifle society”. \n\n“And you stop people moving around and enjoying all the benefits of modern transport and other developments”. \n\n'Welcome to your test run of a carbon-constrained society'. \n\nMr Kenny said while the coronavirus lockdowns might save the planet, they seem “to be wrecking the joint at the same time”. \n\nImage: AP \n
