David Cameron, Who Brought Us Brexit, Now Has Helpful Advice On Climate Policy

Former UK prime minister David Cameron says climate change is a "natural conservative issue" that is best tackled by conservative political parties. With Australia's devastating bushfires in the global spotlight, he said action on climate change was more important than ever.

In an exclusive interview with 7.30, airing tonight, Mr Cameron said while world leaders may think they are doing enough, they need to "look at their promises and ask themselves, can we do more?"

He urged conservative politicians not to leave climate change action to the left. "To conservative parties, I would definitely appeal and say look, don't leave the issues of climate and the future of the planet and what we leave to our children," he said. "These are natural conservative issues, don't leave this to the left or you'll get an anti-business, anti-enterprise, anti-technology response. "We need business technology to be at the heart of what we do. And I think conservatives can lead on this."

Mr Cameron said US President Donald Trump was letting the world down by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. "Look, the Paris climate agreement is not perfect, but it will be a lot less perfect with the US withdrawing and joining the tiny list of countries that aren't signing up," he said. "Stay in and fight for a better agreement rather than walking away. "Paris really did improve on its predecessors, because for the first time the big developing polluting economies like China were involved."
