New analysis shows the huge Scarborough gas project approved by the Morrison Govt will emit 1.37 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases, far more than the 878 million tonnes Woodside claims. This makes a mockery of signing the COP26 agreement & Australians concerns re: global warming
Satellite imagery from the @esa raises serious questions about whether Australia has been accurately reporting its emissions. "These [#methane] numbers are the equivalent of the total carbon footprint of a medium-sized European country." @SteveCannane https://t.co/aos5uXuWQx

Please don’t think that compassion, love and tolerance only belong to religion. They belong to human life. From compassion we develop self-confidence; that brings inner strength, allowing us to act with transparency and candour.
“First the PM tried to pull the wool over Australia’s eyes when he made a net zero by 2050 announcement without modelling, new funding or any new policy – and now he’s trying to do the same with the rest of the world" - Prof Tim Flannery at #COP26.
