#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!
Fossil fuels are largest component but renewables are still on nearly 30% this evening. Hope we can accelerate wind and solar and increase renewable share of UK electricity! #LoveNetZero #NetZero #SayNotoNimbies #Solar
In a quiet corner of southern France, an international mega-project is forging ahead with its mission to demonstrate industrial-scale nuclear fusion. We got to take a look.

Well look at that ! When the misogynist #AndrewHastie usurps #LOTO Ley, the #Conservatives (Liberals) will abandon the fig-leaf of #NetZero & any hope of government.
But the WA frontbencher Andrew Hastie this week told the ABC net zero was “a straitjacket that I’m already getting out of”.
If federal and State #Labor were truly worried about the cost of energy as well as the pace of energy transition funding to meet #NetZero , there are more effective and timely ways to address these issues than granting extension to #Woodside ‘s #Gas exploitation in an fragile environment,
1) tax #FossilFuelExtraction industries appropirately (a la Denmark)
2) use tax income to fund electrification and renewables (including storage)
3) legislate reserve gas for domestic use, price-capped to mitigate #costofliving pressures
4) properly support regional areas in local job creation (use that greedy corporate zeal to make some lasting changes in regional Australia).
No extension of gas exploitation was required and the #Corporate #grifters can go an f** themselves.
Nice little article about the economic advantages of achieving net zero in the UK
