It looks like @ScottMorrisonMP damaged progress in key climate talks in Rome over night...
This is not what the vast majority of the Australian people want.
The Australian people want real climate action and to do our fair share.

Here's a thread:
In September, Australia’s biggest climate poll found that 67 per cent of voters believed the government should be doing more to address climate change: smh.com.au/environment/cl…
The same poll also found majority support for more climate action in every single parliamentary seat of Australia’s 151 House of Representatives, including the electorate represented by Scott Morrison.
Australia literally invented the ‘climate emergency declaration’! On 5 December 2016, Darebin City Council in Victoria, Australia, became the first jurisdiction anywhere in the world to declare a Climate Emergency: climateemergencydeclaration.org/four-years-of-…
Since then more than 100 Australian local governments have declared climate emergencies: abc.net.au/news/2021-08-2…
Business is moving decisively, too. Australia’s four most trusted businesses, Bunnings, Coles, Woolworths and Aldi, have all committed to 100% renewable electricity by 2025 or sooner: reneweconomy.com.au/supermarkets-a…
... and ps, Aldi already got there in June this year, 6 months ahead of schedule: corporate.aldi.com.au/en/corporate-r…
Current Australian state and territory interim targets combined translate to an estimated 37-42 per cent reduction Australia-wide by 2030; definitely not enough - but well ahead of Morrison: climateworksaustralia.org/resource/state…
Unsurprisingly, young Australians overwhelmingly want to see immediate action on climate change: theguardian.com/environment/20…
And of course, Australia’s scientists have long, long, long been demanding urgent climate action. Here is one of the billion or so expert calls for the Australian federal government to act responsibly on climate: scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/media-release-…
I could go on... but the evidence is pretty clear that in having no credible plan, and obstructing global climate action, Scott Morrison is not only destroying our international credibility, but acting in defiance of the will of the vast majority of the Australian people.
