Great to sit down with @roycerk2.bsky.social to discuss our report launched today that finds Australia has quadrupled fossil fuel exports since 1990.

Since before international climate negotiations begun we have had a joint bipartisan effort from the major parties to expand coal & gas.

Expanding renewables and expanding fossil fuels is not a transition, it’s just reckless greed.

Still cannot believe someone thought it was a good idea to post this at the same time as approving FOUR coal projects.

How to botch approving coal mines quietly, an Australian playbook:

1️⃣ tweet that you’ve approved 0 new coal mines

2️⃣ simultaneously approve 3 coal mines

3️⃣ update press that you actually approved a 4th

Do it just before Christmas in the hope people don’t notice 🎁

Today, Pakistan πŸ‡΅πŸ‡° & The Bahamas πŸ‡§πŸ‡Έ have joined a group of now 16 nations on 4 continents seeking to wind down fossil fuel production fast & fairly.

Which country will join the group of nations seeking to negotiate a #FossilFuelTreaty next?
