The latest quarterly emissions update has revealed emissions are still going up and remain higher under Anthony Albanese than when Scott Morrison left office, as the Greens call on Labor to stop backing coal and gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data reveals emissions have risen year on year from 446.2 to 446.4 million tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The update also shows that emissions were higher in the year to December 2024 (446.4 Mt) than they were in the year to June 2022 when the Morrison Government left office (440.6 Mt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These damning figures follow Labor\u2019s decision earlier this week to approve the climate-wrecking North West Shelf dirty gas extension to 2070, effectively killing the prospect of achieving net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor approved over 30 new coal and gas projects in its last term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Greens have said to have any chance of a safer climate, Labor must stop approving new coal and gas projects and start rapidly cutting emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leader of the Australian Greens, Senator Larissa Waters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClimate emissions are still going up and are higher under Anthony Albanese than under Scott Morrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd just this week, Labor approved the climate-wrecking North West Shelf dirty gas extension to 2070.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwo climate tests so far \u2013 and Labor\u2019s failed both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDuring the last term of parliament, Labor approved over 30 new coal and gas projects, and it doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019re slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Greens will keep fighting for strong climate action, and an end to new coal and gas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The latest quarterly emissions update has revealed emissions are still going up and remain higher under Anthony Albanese than when Scott Morrison left office, as the Greens call on Labor to stop backing coal and gas.
