Australia will head to the polls in May. But in the rush to call the election, it appears the Albanese Government left at least one federal climate policy in a state of limbo.
Thank you, Michael! It is great that you put in the effort to enter all the data the Department provided into a spreadsheet and then make it available - as well as looking for the trends since you previously looked at this. Your kind of data driven investigative journalism is exactly what we need to help us navigate through this difficult time.
I am a member of Climate Tasmania, a voluntary expert advisory body that formed itself when a previous Tasmanian government abolished an advisory body under the State’s Climate Change Act. We have formed the opinion that the whole offsets area is a minefield of dubious claims to carbon sequestration of doubtful longevity - and hence doubtful value. Instead, we recommend that corporations, institutions, small businesses, etc focus on the core need, which is to shift from petrol, diesel, gas, etc to clean energy. Our Fuel Reduce Pledge is a formal commitment by an organisation to manage down its use of fossil fuels and to periodically publish the volumes of the fuels it is using to hold itself accountable.
Thank you so much for this article supported by data. I have argued with friends about this issue but not had the solid data to put in front of them. Now I do!
