Australia Pledges Green Future, Approves More Gas Fields
Australia's Labor government, led by Prime Minister Albanese, just signed a UN climate declaration aiming to phase out fossil fuels. The Guardian breathlessly reports this pledge from Cop30, conveniently sidestepping the inconvenient truth that Albanese simultaneously rejected suggestions to stop developing NEW gas fields. This isn't just hypocrisy; it’s a masterclass in greenwashing. One might
wonder if their signature merely requires a good pen, not actual policy changes. How many climate declarations does a country need to ink before it stops digging for new fossil fuels?
