Addressing the National Press Club, Dr Forrest warned if Australia does not commit to net-zero ahead of a major climate change summit, the stain will last “forever”.
“I’m delighted that all states and territories in Australia have a net zero target … by 2050. But Australia as a nation still does not. And that, for me, is an enormous concern,” Dr Forrest said. “To the increasingly rare, thankfully, historical politicians fear mongering against choice, pretending to represent us, I just want to remind you – it's taken 50 years for fossil fuel to get the power bills down, and, mate, they’re still going up.
Dr Forrest used his address to promote the uptake of green hydrogen and hit out at the continued effort to sell hydrogen produced with fossil fuels in production as “clean hydrogen”. “It all adds up to the same thing – misleading sound bytes put out by industries wishing to continue a duplicitous social licence to operate.”
He acknowledged the part his company plays in emitting emissions, but insisted his iron ore company is committed to making a change.“The scope for emissions of the top four iron ore companies, the customers of Fortescue, BHP, Vale and Rio Tinto admit, are equivalent to Russia‘s entire national emissions.”
Takes a huge volume of dirty energy to produce Twiggy's clean energy. There's climate change for millions of years, not ClimateCrisis . Good for twiggy for the leadership, wish all the success in finding the Hydrogen solution. Or BillGates would've been all over it by now.
As conversions go, this puts Road to Damascus in the very minor, insignificant category. 😂
Tell that to Murdoch
It’s simple. While NSW is on its knees and quickly becoming Australia’s banana republic … Twiggy and Lang’s daughter are swooping for the takeover. McGowan will be running the recalcitrant state from Port Hedland inside 12 months. parrothead nswpol abcsydney
Twiggy’s shiit message, no one cares about
Not so much fun for the thieving politicians when thier rich doner mates are against them. Suffer in your jocks.

MorpheusBeing What’s in it for this bloke? He doesn’t do anything for free or which doesn’t benefit him directly. Beware billionaires baring gifts?
If Twiggy wants to be a poli he should put his hat in the ring. He shouldn’t have more influence than the average Aussie & should stop pretending he’s got the answers. His businesses have contributed to the problem for decades! Now he’s made investments in green he wants a return
Isn't he the same guy behind the Indue card that has failed miserably, he targets the vulnerable to get richer, this man is despicable.
