McCormack seems to think people like me who drink coffee in a city are somehow stopping poisoning and we want the mice "re-housed". I never said that, and I wasn't aware that we city coffee drinkers had a collective opinion on what to do with mice.

He also says we should be grateful for the coal industry because it brings in much-needed income that can then be spent buying coffee machines for people like me. In fact, almost every time Mr McCormack appears on the news it's to interpret events from the perspective of coffee drinkers like me and always in a very negative light.

Apparently, I'm "woke" too and that informs most of my views on everything, and I'm always wrong. I wish he had a wider imagination for his prejudices.

Michael McCormack says coal is here to stay as G7 countries commit to decarbonised power by the 2030s.

Actual words of the acting PM: "You may not like it, but we all tolerate things we don't like. It's called being a grown-up.

"It pays for a lot of barista machines that produces the coffee that inner-city people sit and talk about the death of coal."

Trying to pit country against city isn't very grown up, however, taking responsibility for your community is. Listening to the science is grown up. Climate change affects everybody. I thank my inner-city latte-sipping cousins for keeping the pressure on this government.

Agriculture is already hard hit by the effects of climate change. Suggesting that fighting climate change is purely the interest of latte-sipping city slickers clearly shows how little respect this public servant has for country folk, and how little he cares for the increasing struggles they face. I'll have my latte without coal thanks, while I contemplate the death of the National Party. All latte-sipping woke country cousins are welcome to join us every Friday from 9:30am at the front of MP Michael McCormack's office.

READ MORE LETTERS:

It was very funny to read the recent letter from Neil Harris regarding the building of a power line from NSW over to South Australia ("Energy lessons from SA", June 8).

Sorry, Neil, it is not so they can send some power over to us. It is because their environmentally friendly, highly subsidised green energy system in South Australia cannot supply the power that they claim.

They currently have back-up from fellow climate change wiz kids in Victoria and because it is often in a no wind or sunshine situation, they cannot get what they need from the Vics.

That back-up from Victoria is, of course, from coal-fired power.

Readers may recall that I have been stirring the pro-climate changers to try and get one of them to send in to The DA a scientific fact that will leave no doubt that climate change is for real.

Many 'climate changers' will state that many scientists believe that climate change is real, but not one of them can state an undeniable fact to support that thinking.

Well, here goes again.
