Guardian: The prime minister, Tony Abbott, has rejected a call by fellow Commonwealth leaders to set up a new climate fund to help poor nations. Abbott also found himself at odds with the British prime minister, David Cameron, over his strong defence of Sri Lanka's efforts to address alleged human rights abuses and war crimes. As the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm) wrapped up in Colombo on Sunday, Abbott joined Canada in rejecting a decision by the summit to establish a green capital...

Telegraph: Is nature trying to tell Tony Abbott something? No sooner had the new Australian Prime Minister started to dismantle the last government's policies for reducing carbon emissions, than wildfires swept across New South Wales, reigniting as it were the debate over climate change. The fires the worst in the state for two decades followed unprecedentedly high temperatures. Both July and September were the hottest ever recorded in the state, with August only just falling short.
