Australia to ‘fall short’ compared to other countries’ climate targets | Sky News Australia

Sky News contributor Nicholas Reece says Australia is “falling well short of many countries we like to compare ourselves with” when it comes to targets for emissions cuts.

Speaking to Chris Kenny, Mr Reece said “the sad reality” is with another three years of the Morrison government, it will be hard for Labor to achieve their emission reduction target of 45 per cent by 2030 if they win the next election. Labor is distancing itself from committing to former leader Bill Shorten's 45 per cent emissions reduction target but remains adamant any new climate policy will be more ambitious than the Coalition’s aim of 26 to 28 per cent.

Nicholas_Reece Meanwhile .... India and China are building hundreds on new coal fired power stations.

Nicholas_Reece Just change the date to 2033. See nick isnt sad anymore, hes excited again!

Nicholas_Reece Get a life. Start in on China. They spew more than anyone yet you remain silent on that issue. Full of hot air.

Nicholas_Reece Has anyone noticed what a 35% reduction has done too Venezuela

Nicholas_Reece Not a problem for Labor. It won't win the next election.

Nicholas_Reece

Nicholas_Reece They wouldn’t have done it if they were in government if they can’t even get solar panels on their own roof how can u expect everyone else to do it

Nicholas_Reece Liberals and Labour both conforming to UN agenda. Creating a third world country like Africa, Syria, Afganistan . It's happening. Soon,,, No power No water, Mass unemployment Increased Crime. Homeless increasing. Aussie culture gone Christianity gone. SeeTheSigns

Nicholas_Reece Hilarious watching labour struggle with emissions targets. Shows how much trouble they are in with the greens. They’ll be be opposition for a decade at least. They lost one of their main bases..sold out miners to greens.

Nicholas_Reece Nicholas I watch you getting beaten up by Bronwyn Bishop on PM live every week. Who do you bother? A future Labor seat perhaps? You are so far out of touch with the aspirations of normal Australians. I sometimes feel sorry for you. Stop parroting stupidity!

Nicholas_Reece FUCKING GOOD

Nicholas_Reece The hard thing is that Nicholas Reese has never taken the time to examine the scientific proof confirming that global warming is a man made hoax and absolute rubbish but he would prefer to have a go at the coalition government rather than examine some of the facts regarding CC

Nicholas_Reece Sad thing is Australian a still suffering and will continue to suffer under this incompetent government!

Nicholas_Reece There is no need to hit any target.

Nicholas_Reece What is China's emission target

Nicholas_Reece The sad reality is with another 3 years of libs we will have nothing left of anything

Nicholas_Reece China emits more in 3 months than Australia's yearly emissions but China funds AustralianLabor

Nicholas_Reece Low emissions means relying more and more on renewables and AGL/Origin won’t allow that cause they don’t cost anywhere near as much as coal generated power does…

Nicholas_Reece I'd rather have coal power where they have better clean plants as possible , then nuclear or wind turbine power as they can both destroy the plant just look at Japan and the UK

Nicholas_Reece Great news as we will still have economy then.

Nicholas_Reece They won't win with Slurpee at the helm Lost in a bygone era of fibro Holden garbage bin wickets and meat pie eaters That was yester year Slurpee Grow up

Nicholas_Reece Oh heaven forbid that we should fall behind in the destruction of our economy !

Nicholas_Reece Labor would never have achieved their target without hurting the poor.

Nicholas_Reece While China emits more carbon dioxide than the USA & European Union combined!

Nicholas_Reece So what is the liberal party going to do? They are in Government NOT Labor. Prices go up up up under liberals.

Nicholas_Reece Either way in a sad reality what he’s really saying is,,if things are bad now,they’re going to get a lot more worse in the coming future whichever Party dumb dumbs vote for. venezuela

Nicholas_Reece The only sad thing is that the anti-Christian Reece is given any air time on TV.

Nicholas_Reece Don’t worry Nicholas, you won’t win the next election.

Nicholas_Reece No need to worry, Labor won’t win the next election.
