One Nation leader Pauline Hanson addressed the National Press Club, using the platform to publicly denounce climate change as a deliberate deception. She explicitly labeled both global warming and climate change as a “hoax,” offering no scientific basis for her claim. This statement aligns with Hanson’s previously expressed skepticism regarding climate science and environmental policies. The speech drew immediate criticism from environmental groups and political opponents, who accused her of spreading misinformation. Hanson’s views contrast sharply with the growing international consensus on the urgency of addressing climate change. The remarks are likely to further polarize debate on environmental issues within Australia. This is not the first time Hanson has questioned the validity of climate science, consistently advocating for prioritizing economic concerns over environmental regulations.
