An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

Just heard Madeleine King on abc AM.

This is fucked.

If we absolutely must jeopardise our precious artesian basin (the life source of the australian interior) to get some gas out of beetaloo, I'd much rather reimbursement in sweet cash (like taxes), rather than the possibility of maybe potentially getting slightly cheaper gas to burn later on.

Further money thrown to Chevron for CCS, a company that consistantly misses all of its targets, and a tech that isn't ready.

Why not invest in proven policys/tech to reduce emissions? Why not give money to government owned research departments? Or at that very least, not be actively sabotaging CSIRO?

CCS should be SCC (State Capture by Carbon worshippers)

Based on facts and not ideology? I thought facts said continued burning of fossil fuels will seriously alter the climate and that methane is the worst for trapping heat. Great call!
