Australia and Japan taking us off track in climate struggle

Australia and Japan have been credited with playing a significant role in taking global efforts to combat climate change off track.

A Reuters story published in The Huffington Post headed: “Climate change fight getting off track after major global setbacks in Japan and Australia, study finds”.

The Reuters story argued that negatives behaviour in both Australia and Japan offset the positive outcomes in both the U.S. and China.

Climate Action Tracker had found, the story said, that the world was headed for a temperature rise this century of nearly four degrees compared to an earlier prediction of just over three degrees, if governments stuck to promised greenhouse gas emissions.
