For the next two weeks we’ll be bringing you all the news from the COP26 Summit, which has opened with a sternly worded address by The Queen telling world leaders to pull up their socks and show leadership on climate change.Scott Morrison used his address to COP today not to call for greater...

As we head into the COP26 Climate Summit today, we’ve seen weakly-worded climate platitudes from world leaders coming out the preceding G20 conference in Rome, but few new climate commitments. Let’s hope they find their resolve over the next few weeks in Glasgow.

Following in the footsteps of his boss’ stunt parading a lump of coal around parliament in 2017, Angus Taylor will be out of step on the global stage as he foreshadows using COP26 to promote Australia as a good place to invest in fossil fuel projects. It appears the Morrison government has a reason...

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is resisting pressure to release the modelling underpinning his government’s plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, as it’s revealed the Federal Treasury has not modelled the effects of climate change and emissions reductions on the nation’s economy for years.

What we know so far is that Resources Minister Keith Pitt will return to Cabinet, and that there will...

The Nationals have finally agreed to support a net-zero by 2050 target - but their blood price for supporting the deal remains veiled in secrecy.

The Morrison Government actively lobbied for the rejection of findings outlining the need for rapid global coal phase out from the next major report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), revealed in documents leaked to Unearthed, Greenpeace’s investigative platform. This...

As Coalition infighting on climate commitments rages on, a new report from the Climate Council has ranked Australia dead last when it comes to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and moving beyond fossil fuels. 

The PM is desperately trying to assure reluctant National Party members that most of what the Coalition has been saying on the cost of climate action for years is rubbish and that net zero by 2050 is actually a winner for the economy. With the clock rapidly ticking towards the Glasgow, the Morrison...
