Turning to international climate discourse, Canavan criticized a recent warning from Simon Steel, the UN's top climate official. Steel claimed that by 2050, climate change would push the planet to a point where fruits and vegetables would be scarce, available only as rare luxuries. Canavan dismissed such predictions as alarmist and "chicken little" hysteria, accusing climate alarmists of exaggerating threats to garner political or ideological advantage.
