We're on perilous ground.
The 🌍 is on track for a temperature rise of over3°C. This would bring mass extinctions & large parts of the planet would be uninhabitable.

Extracting and burning gas puts Australians in harm’s way.
The Climate Council's new report, "Passing Gas: Why Renewables Are the Future" reveals just how dangerous gas is and the extent to which it is driving climate change @timinmitcham

Excellent new @climatecouncil report by Andrew Stock, Greg Bourne, Professor Will Steffen & @timinmitcham.
Developing expensive new fossil gas projects will not lower Australia's carbon emissions. Sounds clear to me!

"This report confronts the uncomfortable truth that natural gas is in decline in Australia ... The only rational approach, for governments, the energy industry, and its customers, is to begin planning for a future without natural gas" @GrattanInst https://t.co/fKSlhzlFQn
Let’s be clear: manufacturing needs a secure, reliable and affordable energy source. Gas does not fit the bill says IEEFA analyst @barobertson111. via @smh https://t.co/EdJuqDQSIa
- AEMO? More gas generation not needed
- CSIRO? Gas generation = expensive electricity
- Economists? Gas extraction creates very few jobs
- Scientists? Gas incompatible with our Paris goals
- Investors? Gas has bad returns. No $.
Politicians? <Ignore experts> MORE GAS!
🤦🏻♂️
Global emissions are rising, 9 tipping points breached, our future is bleak. We can't go on extracting ever more gas, a fossil fuel that's just as dirty as coal. #saparli#ClimateEmergency
Fracking has collapsed in the US. @CallumDRFoote exposes the people behind the Government's nonsensical gas push in Australia #auspol#narrabri https://t.co/J4Vbxtxz16
The gas industry is misleading government, investors, customers and the broader population about the amount of carbon dioxide and methane emissions being released, says IEEFA's @barobertson111.

Gas is worse than coal in the short term due to its release of methane into the atmosphere, says IEEFA's @barobertson111. Emissions from gas have been dangerously underestimated.
