A report used by government on reducing coalmine emissions is said to be inconsistent with state legislation and the Paris climate agreement.
Science agencies have said the world was not on track to limit heating to 2C, but not that the goal cannot be met. “The NSW government is not going to take the actions needed to achieve this crucial goal of keeping global warming to 1.5C if the advice it relies on is not seriously pursuing that goal and doesn’t come to grips with the urgent actions necessary to keep it alive,” she said.
The NSW Greens environment spokesperson, Sue Higginson, said it was “jaw-dropping” that a report described as a “best-practice checklist” for cutting emissions from coalmines said it was generally accepted that the 2C goal would not be met.
