With 8 years to halve emissions we want our leaders to commit to #ClimateActionNow by protecting and restoring habitat and investing in a healthy and prosperous transition to a net zero emissions future through clean energy - a future that will see our country thriving! #auspol
The latest report from the @IPCC_CH says we must urgently abandon fossil fuels to avert climate chaos.
Something important and easy for you to do is vote for strong climate policy in the upcoming #AusElection22.
Australia urgently needs #ClimateActionNow @ScottMorrisonMP @AlboMP
Labor and the Coalition have starkly different climate policies. "Voters should choose carefully. What kind of Australia we want to live in, and what kind of Australia we want our children and grandchildren to inherit is firmly on the ballot." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Paris is working. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, we have accelerated action, the COP has responded to the IPCC’s call to close the gap towards 1.5, and coal is in the text. But there is a lot more to do. #COP26 1/6

This thread on Australia's dodgy #COP26 target underlines why tougher #climate transparency rules under discussion are vital. Some capitals are gaming the system & hoping no-one notices.
The Australian government keeps saying that its own projections show a 35% drop in emissions by 2030 (relative to 2005).
It's a lie. I will quickly explain how it's crafted, because it's really important.
