Labor’s 62 to 70% climate target does not align with the science, but can be met by phasing out fossil fuels A cut in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 75% below 2005 levels would have broadly aligned with the science and strengthened Australia’s bid to host the 2026 United Nations climate conference.
