“The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) has today expressed deep concern about the Queensland Government’s environmental approval of Adani’s Carmichael coal mine, which will adversely impact the Great Barrier Reef.
Imogen Zethoven, the Great Barrier Reef Campaign Director said today that the decision demonstrated that the Queensland Government is putting the interests of the coal industry ahead of the interests of the Reef and a sustainable economy.
“The mining and burning of coal is the leading cause of global warming. … “The Queensland economy and the tourism industry rely on a healthy Reef. … “Approving this mine is madness. There’s hardly a profitable coal mine in Queensland. …
“Adani has failed to secure finance. … “Economically, environmentally, rationally or emotionally, there is no choice. The Reef should be here for future generations. And future generations power should come from renewable sources,” said Ms Zethoven. … “
