#Carbondioxide levels in atmosphere break new records in human history
We know #netzero #emission will help us limit global temperature increases. Why are they not priority for #politicians?
"Current atmospheric concentrations of #CO2 are higher than at any time in at least two million years. Concentrations of #CH4 and #N2O are higher than at any time in at least 800,000 years.”
Through burning of #fossilfuels and #deforestation, there is increase in CO2 of 50% in 200yr.

Forest crisis sparks alarm that Europe will miss net-zero targets.

Extreme weather, pest outbreaks and overharvesting are turning forest carbon sinks into carbon sources across Europe, undermining a crucial part of countries’ net-zero plans.

As reported in the article:

“A government spokesperson said that “only Labor has a concrete, real plan to see our emissions reduce while ensuring our economy continues to grow”.

“As we’ve consistently said – gas has an important role to play in the transition as the ultimate backstop for renewables,” they said.”

Approving #Gas #Extraction for #Export DOES NOT play a role in #Transition. SO Why Approve them? There is bugger all revenue from #PRRT so it’s not money. It’s not #jobs really considering how few jobs we’re talking about in near full employment conditions and it’s not about the #economy because our economy grows pretty much in line with population — #Immigration.

WHY IS #LABOR #GREENLIGHTING ? I’m fed up too (and a party member as well). It’s either money for mates, graft and corruption or else the buggers haven’t got a clue. Not much to choose from then…

You know what would go a long way… for #AlboPM to have a heart to heart talk with the electorate. Tell us why this is happening so we can understand the reasons behind it. What we don’t need is #SoundBytes that brushes us off. Yes… you #Anthony, start talking to us!
