Liberal MP Craig Kelly has been accused of being a 'climate change denier' on British television as he sought to deny any link between climate change and Australia's bushfire crisis.
"To try and make out - as some politicians have - to hijack this debate and exploit this tragedy, to push their ideological barrow that somehow or other the Australian government could have done something to reduce its climate emissions that would have reduced these bushfires is just complete nonsense."A former regular guest on Sky News Australia, Mr Kelly was in September last year denied permission by the Prime Minister's office to appear on the ABC's Q&A program.
"I follow the science," Mr Kelly declared after being challenged by the show's weather expert Laura Tobin on Australia's climate emission reductions pledge.
