| Ross Gittins - "The burning of coal is by far the biggest source of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change". |
hat are we meant to
do about coal? For some time now it has looked like Australians face a painful
choice between doing the right, moral thing by the rest of the world and
continuing to make a living from our rich endowment of natural resources.
The burning of coal is by far the biggest source of the
greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Australia is one of
the world's biggest producers of coal.
Greenies have been
arguing for years that, although it's too much to ask that we just stop
exporting the stuff, we should at least get in no deeper by ceasing to build
any new mines or expand existing mines.
