‘We’ll keep mining’: Australia resists climate policy pressure

journal that said 95 per cent of Australia’s coal cannot be dug up if the world is to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees by 2050, which is the goal of the Paris Agreement on climate change.

“Will they support Australian workers in such an important industry or will they allow Australian resources policies to be set by overseas interests?”When asked on Thursday if Australia was open to signing a deal with other countries to set a deadline on the end of coal exports, Prime Minister Scott Morrison did not specifically refer to coal but said mining was “absolutely critical to Australia’s future” and “we will keep mining the resources that we’re able to sell on the world market”.

“In trade agreements, I deal with trade issues. In climate agreements I deal with climate issues,” he said.Climate is also expected to play a role in ongoing negotiations with the European Union over a free-trade agreement.

This policy will be decided by the voters of Australia so get in line or get out.

I thought the future of industry was decided by industry. Unless Keith is a communist, of course.

'I mean, sure, we could have saved the planet. But it's easy for anyone to be a hindsight hero.'

'We will decide who buys our coal and the circumstances under which they buy it'

It's not going to be much of an industry if everyone keeps buying less and less
