Malcolm Turnbull caves in to climate denialists – again
Malcolm Turnbull dumps plan to legislate Paris emissions targets, ABC News, By political editor Andrew Probyn and Melissa Clarke , 17 Aug 18
Key points:
- Turnbull weakened stance on emissions targets to appease rebel MPs
- The 2016 Paris Agreement set emissions targets of 26 to 28 per cent lower by 2030
- Cabinet ministers to meet on Sunday to discuss new approach to energy policy
To appease critics and lessen the prospect of a backbench revolt, the Prime Minister will instead propose setting emissions targets by regulation, which does not need the assent of Parliament.
The reconfigured climate and energy policy will be more heavily geared towards driving down prices— in part to satisfy Coalition critics who say Mr Turnbull has been more focused on the Paris climate settings rather than household price pressures…….http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-17/turnbull-dumps-plan-to-legislate-paris-agreement-targets/10134284
