From the Labor adviser who pitched “net zero fossil fuels” comes a sequel: “Don’t set climate targets too high, or the government might have to do something". #auspol #climate www.afr.com/policy/energ...

It's really quite impressive how strenuously everyone in this article avoids talking about fossil fuels. Nearly a fifth of Australia’s emissions now come from digging up and sending fossil fuels overseas. #auspol @australiainstitute.org.au australiainstitute.org.au/post/nearly-...

When Labor talks about not wanting to offend “opponents of change” they’re referring to fossil carbon industry shareholders, CEOs and corporate lobbyists.

"Governments like to cheat so they can pretend to reach ambitious targets" is true, but the conclusion is "hold governments accountable" not "stop with all this ambition bullshit"

Well, in Australia, the government is cheating anyway even with a low ambition target. theconversation.com/sleight-of-h...

“Net zero” was always a con. They have no intention of net anything, just a smoke screen as they continue to increase emmissions.

I'm a 'no" on net zero, too Because we can do better Australia needs to target real zero, not net zero Net zero a crock open to corrupt influences & interpretations of what's in or out, and soft targets by polies/ industries that don't want change, or don't believe we can bsky.app/profile/prof...
