Australia's biggest emitters urged to act on climate with 'death and taxes' not the only certainties in life

"Shareholders have told us that they would like to understand more about how we plan to reduce emissions from our operations, and about how we manage our use of carbon credit appropriately.

"Much of this report is similar to our Climate Report 2021 because our understanding and strategy remains consistent."That lack of a significant shift after the shareholder vote surprised the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility , a shareholder advocacy group calling on companies to do more on climate.

"For Woodside's portfolio, about 90 per cent of their emissions are scope three, so to set targets that exclude scope three is to ignore 90 per cent of the problem," Mr Hillman said.In its report, Woodside said while it was working to reduce scope three emissions by offering new fuels, like hydrogen and ammonia, "inconsistent reporting regimes" made it difficult to accurately track those emissions.

Woodside is also among the companies which could have its membership rights of a major industry group restricted, over the speed of its climate action.On Friday the Carbon Market Institute , which counts companies like Woodside, BHP, BP and South 32 among its members, moved to strip large emitters with an increasing carbon footprint of many of their membership rights.

"So let's manage that but also grab the opportunities that are there in a cleaner economy, and there are many."

Death and taxes?

ABC is the biggest emitter of woke pinko green garbage in this country, I am a shareholder so back off.

Australia is a nett CO2 sink.... what's the problem?

It's time they paid their taxes

Cheap energy should be the number one priority.

ESG is a scam that is rapidly bankrupting the west. Oh well.

And in more importantl news…

What's the point when our emissions are miniscule in the first place. This entire thing is a sick joke.

I invest in anti-ESG investments like - Strive Asset Management’s US Energy ETF (DRLL). These funds use there shareholder votes to fight against the political left ideology of ESG.

For me the problem is deforestation, not climate change. Not even the Greens care about deforestation, which is ironic.

Why, it won't help 1 little bit.

Government’s signature climate change policy could ‘fall over’ if not taken seriouslyOne of the nation's most respected energy experts says the government's signature climate change policy could 'fall over' unless big polluters take it seriously. The Grattan Institute’s Energy and Climate Director Tony Wood fronted a Senate committee this morning looking at Labor's proposed changes to the Safeguard Mechanism. We are already at ZERO because of our small population in a vast country absorbing more than we produce so why is no one listening and continuing to put us through this expensive nonsense. The only smart countries making hay while our economy burns are China, India and Russia Anyone done a financial background on this expert, or any of the experts rolled in front of us for the last 3 years?

Cost of living in Australia is ‘incredibly high’: Robert HerjavecUS Shark Tank investor Robert Herjavec thinks Australia is an incredible place to live, but the minimum wage and cost of living are “incredibly high”. He said interest rates in Australia are not that high compared to the rest of the world. “I think for the average consumer, when interest rates keep going up, it’s going to be very, very challenging,” Mr Herjavec told Sky News host Sharri Markson. A man worth 200 million says minimum wage is too high. Compared to where? The US? And how are things going there at the moment? Cost of living is how the rich rob from the poor. King John stuff...
