Original Note:
The Labor government is doing little to reduce emissions in all sectors other than electricity. Our target of 43% isn't aligned with 1.5C. New gas will add emissions, land use calculations are flawed, fugitive emissions underestimated, and offsets are unrealistic. https://reneweconomy.com.au/australias-land-use-emissions-data-revisions-are-an-engine-of-climate-delay/#google_vignette https://reneweconomy.com.au/australias-net-zero-target-is-being-lost-in-accounting-tricks-offsets-and-more-gas/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-04/australian-fossil-fuels-giants-severely-underestimate-methane-leaks
