In Australia, conservative Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been ousted after a bruising leadership fight within the ruling Liberal Party. Treasurer Scott Morrison will replace Turnbull as the country’s newest prime minister. Morrison is a social conservative who, like Turnbull, is known for his support for Australia’s harsh anti-immigrant policies. He’s also a prominent opponent of efforts to curb catastrophic climate change. In 2017, Morrison brought a lump of coal to the floor of Parliament, mocking opposition lawmakers with the words “Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it won’t hurt you. It’s coal.” Scott Morrison becomes prime minister as human-induced global warming has brought soaring temperatures and wildfires to Australia, along with the continent’s worst drought in living memory.
