Australia on the nose at UN climate talks
 Not winning friends’: Australia cops blame as climate talks extended, SMH, By Peter Hannam. December 14, 2019 Global climate talks have been extended into the weekend as nations wrangle over carbon accounting issues, including whether Australia should be able to slash its Paris emissions reduction goals using a surplus from an earlier era…..
International media singled out Australia’s insistence it be allowed to count “over-achievement” during the 2012-20 Kyoto Protocol period to reduce its abatement task during the 2021-30 Paris accord as one brake on progress. Sweden’s TT News Agency blamed the stalled talks on Australia, Saudi Arabia and Brazil. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/not-winning-friends-australia-cops-blame-as-climate-talks-extended-20191214-p53jyk.html |
