No Australian federal government “policies or discourses” were found to help manage a wind-down on fossil fuel production.

Despite pledges in Paris six years ago to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, governments worldwide have approved twice as much coal, oil and gas projects over the coming two decades than the maximum needed to hold global warming to 1.5 degrees.

The federal government has no plans to impose limitations on carbon intensive industries. The government has acknowledged coal exports will decline in coming decades, but Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor this week said demand from Indo-Pacific countries meant “gas production and exports are projected to grow in the decades ahead”.

Governments’ production plans and projections would lead to about 240 per cent more coal, 57 per cent more oil, and 71 per cent more gas in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, the report shows.

The 'production gap' is why the world won't reach climate targetsDespite climate targets being ramped up, the world is set to increase the production of fossil fuels all the way to 2040 and beyond, producing nearly triple as much as is compatible with stopping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius. Delayerrhea + Denierrhea + Wokeism is why those targets aren't already history. The incredibly negligent defeatist attitude spread like a plague by the visionless will be overcome by those that push true technological solutions. That's because there is no technology yet for baseload renewables.
