  “the Albanese government has defended the fact that its so-called safeguard mechanism policy allows new gas & coal mines to proceed as long as they buy some carbon offsets…Now a state Labor premier is saying that he wouldn’t be willing to sell carbon offsets to coal or gas projects because he concedes it is scientifically meaningless to pretend you can offset fossil fuel expansion’s harm to the climate by not chopping down a tree…an extraordinary admission” #auspol #energy #environment #...
