Just a reminder for those playing at home, here are the most recent govt projections for emissions out to 2030, and what would be needed to get to zero by 2050

Just because the PM says we're doing "it in a canter" or it's "absolutely achievable" doesn't make it so.
And that is using the dodgy "land use" measurement. You don't want to know how bad it looks when you exclude that
But sure run with your headlines that Morrison has said it'll be done. Heck why not? It's just politics, it doesn't really matter does it? If climate change was that important we might need to think about how we cover politics

No need for that.
Also reminder - Govt cuts include the dodgy land use measure (and benefit from the *very* dodgy use Land use in 1990 as a base year for Kyoto)

Exclude them like every other country has to, and we're on track to make no cuts
This is pretty much the ball game right here. Print it out, put it next to your desk.

Look at it whenever you hear and see Morrison (or anyone) talk about reaching targets.

Then write.
Write it as if life in the next 30 years and beyond depends on it.
