Decision to block Rocky Hill mine represents a ‘mad’ trend | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says a 'mad' court decision now means Australia doesn’t just need to limit its own carbon dioxide emissions, but must also take active steps to limit other countries’ emissions too. \n\nMs Credlin was critical of a recent decision by the NSW Land and Environment Court to essentially block a new coal mine because it would lead to more emissions in the countries that burnt Australian coal.\n\n“As mad as it seems, this is exactly what this particular court, this activist court, has recently declared,” Ms Credlin said.\n\nOne reason for the refusal of the Rocky Hill mine at Gloucester by the Independent Planning Commission was reported to have been due to its potential to produce ‘Scope 3 emissions’.\n\nMs Credlin said she will “believe the world is serious on Paris, when the world, and not just us, actually do something.” \n\nImage: Getty Oh cool. What’s her expertise again? Oh PETA , this country is going to finish up with head injuries because of beating our heads against the brick wall
