Kate Jones, Queensland Minister for Climate Change:
"As climate change increases, we know that we'll get more extreme weather events."
1) Climate change doesn't 'increase'. The effects of climate change might increase or decrease, but not climate change itself. I'm not sure whether this statement is tautological or illogical.
2) Queensland would get more extreme weather events in the future anyway. There's no necessary link as suggested here.
3) 'Extreme weather events' is a hopelessly vague term, encompassing any slightly unusual weather occurrence, and there is no way of definitively linking any single weather occurrence to climate change.
4) None of this is 'known'.
One sentence, fourteen words, four errors! I wonder if that's a record?
