@australiainstitute.org.auReposted by @richarddenniss.bsky.socialOffsetting fossil fuel emissions is like thinking that going for a walk makes up for having a cigarette.
That's the logic our governments use to justify fossil fuel expansion.

If we upgraded the northern rail for cars and passengers, they'd have enough money left over to build our own national #datacentre, calling for 49% private investment. With its own renewable energy.

@rodcampbell.bsky.socialReposted by @richarddenniss.bsky.socialWild stuff. "Australia’s got really ambitious climate targets…. some of the most ambitious climate targets in the world." Literally no one thinks this, not even the Aus Gov, yet this is a quote from the head of Ken Henry-linked, pro-carbon offset Australian Climate and Biodiversity Foundation.
@rodcampbell.bsky.socialReposted by @richarddenniss.bsky.socialIt's a scam, it's a scam, it's a scam.
Taxpayers will pay for 95% of the NSW Great Koala National Park.
Yet Chris Minns/Bowen say $$ from climate polluters for offsets are essential.

@australiainstitute.org.auReposted by @richarddenniss.bsky.socialAustralians have been dudded by the gas industry. It’s past time governments admitted it.
On Follow the Money this week, @richarddenniss.bsky.social & @ebonybennett.bsky.social discuss how the gas industry tricked Australia – and how we can stop it happening again. #auspol
@richarddenniss.bsky.socialAs if carbon offsets weren’t a big enough fraud…welcome to the world of ‘biodiversity offsets’…sure the idea failed dismally in NSW but Murray Watt is keen to have a crack…
what could go wrong?
Just even more extinctions i suppose…#climate #nature
@richarddenniss.bsky.socialTime for your regular reminder that A) the Coaltion’s feelings about climate are irrelevant for the next 3-6 yrs B) how much you worry about the Coalition is up to you C) the more you worry about the Coaltion’s irrelevant opinions the less pressure is on the ALP to stop approving new gas & coal
