2/3rds is a pretty damn lazy effort, but apparently that puts us among the best, so yay, I guess?

We ought to be ensuring we also take responsibility for emissions made as a result of our actions, including any coal or oil that we export. But you just know we're not.

    With no way ift getting there its a aspirational goal akak hreenwashing bullshit to be met.by future poltocans.

    To be fair, voters won't accept the change in lifestyle's necessaey to achive significant cuts, if voyers wwre.serious m, we'd have a Green Government. We're also opening massive gas extraction plants and expanding some coal mines.

    The entire thing as a shambolic mess,.driven the assumption that the lawsnof nature aren't as important as human entitlement.
