Federal Coalition plans to combat climate change are not
only inappropriate, but clearly inadequate.
The story, headed “Abbott's tree-planting plan not enough to combat climate change, study says”, quotes a report that warns that in absence of
significant cuts to fossil fuel emissions would undermine any attempt to store
carbon in trees and soils would be fruitless.
The
report, entitled “Untangling the Confusion Around Land Carbon Science and
Climate Change Mitigation Policy”, says that there is public confusion over the
offsetting of carbon emissions by carbon “sinks” such as forests.
