"Prime Minister Scott Morrison is poised to announce Australia will adopt a
target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The pledge is long overdue
– but the science tells us 2050 is about a decade too late to reach net-zero.
If we want to meet the goals of Paris climate agreement and limit global
warming to 1.5℃ this century, what actually matters is the action we take this
decade.
No doubt the federal government will expect to be congratulated for finally
succumbing to the extraordinary international and community pressure brought in
the lead up to the COP26 meeting in Glasgow.
But after eight years without an effective policy to reduce emissions, it’s
sadly too little, too late."
