“Australian “climate change isolationism” sees it fall behind the world” & More News Here – Upjobsnews

Australia’s “climate change isolationism” has driven a fall from 35 to 52 in a global ranking of how different nations are responding to the global warming crisis, one rank behind the oil giant Saudi Arabia in a group of nations described as “climate laggards”.

The report by the world-leading United States university MIT notes that Australia declined to sign a pledge to end coal use at world climate talks in Glasgow in November last year, a decision it said was “in large part rooted in the country’s economic dependency on carbon intensive exports.”

This week Labor leader Anthony Albanese committed to supporting new fossil fuel projects as long as there is international demand for exports, keeping it in line with the government, which is campaigning on its support for a gas fired recovery.

The Coalition has committed to reducing Australian emissions by between 26 and 28 per cent by 2030 and Labor by 43 per cent. Climate Council’s chief researcher Dr Martin Rice said neither party’s commitment is in keeping with the global effort to cut emissions by 50 per cent by that date. Both fall far short of the Council’s recommendation that due to Australia’s economic strength and wealth in renewable resources it should be aiming at for 75 per cent reduction.

He said any commitment to support new fossil fuel infrastructure by any party was out of step with net zero pathways charted by the International Energy Agency and with Australia’s global climate commitments.

Neither major party responded to a request for comment.

The highest rankings on the MIT list, known as the Green Future Index, which began last year and will now run annually, were dominated by European nations, with Iceland, Denmark and the Netherlands coming in first to third.

The leading major economic power was the United Kingdom, which has cut its reliance of coal from 40 per cent of energy generation to 2 per cent over the past decade, and plans to completely end its use by 2024.

The United States jumped from 40 to 21 after the election of Democratic President Joe Biden, who has pumped new investment into green infrastructure and research, while China jumped from 45 to 26 due to its clean energy and its commitment to phase out coal-fired power generation as part of its 2060 carbon neutrality pledge.
