Adam Bandt asks PM Malcolm Turnbull how much pollution Carmichael coal mine will produce
Malcolm Turnbull’s government has approved a massive coal mine without working out first how much pollution it will generate.
You can’t make a ‘strong moral case’ for a coal mine when you don’t know how much pollution it will produce.
The government’s wilful ignorance of their own actions borders on criminal.
Malcolm Turnbull and Greg Hunt seem unaware that they’ve approved the southern hemisphere’s single most polluting project.
The coal in the Galilee Basin, if dug up and burnt, would use up to 6% of the total carbon budget left to the whole of the human race.
Even if Australia manages to cut its pollution by the paltry 5% the government proposes, this one coal mine alone will generate three times as much pollution as Australia has cut.
