The Australian Greens Leader, Adam Bandt, has said Labor\u2019s latest offer to embrace carbon capture and storage won\u2019t help tackle the climate emergency, saying you don\u2019t end the climate wars by surrendering.
\n\u201cYou don\u2019t end the climate wars by surrendering,\u201d Greens Leader Adam Bandt said.
\n\u201cWe need a plan to get coal out of the system, not to lock it in.
\n\u201cThe Liberals don\u2019t care about climate change, so holding out for bipartisanship is just a recipe for inaction.\u201d
\n\u201cAn energy plan premised on the unicorn technology of carbon capture and storage is doomed to failure.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a red letter day for coal in Australia and a terrible day for the climate. Queensland ports recorded a record export, NSW revealed that their plans were based on the world ignoring the Paris Agreement and now the ALP and Liberals want to keep coal in the system for longer.
\n\u201cThe Liberal, National and Labor parties accept millions of dollars in donations from coal, oil and gas companies. Today\u2019s news demonstrates that fossil fuel interests continue to have too much influence on our politics.
\n\u201cAfter repealing the carbon price, it\u2019s clear to anyone paying attention that not having a plan for coal is indeed the Liberals\u2019 plan, and today Labor offered to sign on to it too.\u201d Bandt said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
