Greens Leader Adam Bandt says a new report showing coal and gas emissions will overwhelm the government\u2019s Safeguard Mechanism underlines the need for the government to stop opening new coal and gas mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report shows emissions from gas could in fact increase by 36% and from coal by up to 116% by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
