A desperate call for government action as climate targets fall in the race for jobs

Governments around the globe are grappling with ways to mitigate climate change, but will they be able to successfully manage the competing demands of saving the planet while also keeping their economies going?Under a bombshell Environmental Protection Agency ruling

, companies could face strict new rules which stipulate all new projects and expansions in WA which emit more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent a year be carbon-neutral. WA's environmental watchdog has put the policy forward as it grapples with ways to cut carbon emissions, which just keep rising.But the ruling is only a recommendation and the West Australian Government, which has heavily focused its message on job creation and stimulating the economy, can choose to ignore it when giving developments the green light.

Regardless, it has raised the ire of the resources industry, with Woodside's chief executive Peter Colman saying he was perplexed and angry about the decision, describing it as"red tape gone mad".

You only have to look to Canberra to see how difficult climate policy appears to be for politicians. It has helped kill-off seven prime ministers.

'In the race for jobs' Ffs , you are not meant to reprint the gummint's talking points. 'In the service of LNP donor corporate profits', more like it. This sort of casual/lazy propaganda has to stop.

So much for the 'clever country' politicians have been going on about since the 80's. If we want to be regarded that way internationally we need to get our sustainable energy sector going in a big way and real soon. Otherwise other countries will beat us to the punch. C'mon Aust

Massive emergency. Panic everyone. Quick. ClimateScam
