The Turnbull
government will “probably” allow emission reduction permits to be bought
from overseas, giving Australia flexibility to increase the targets it pledged
at the Paris climate conference, Greg Hunt has predicted.
The environment minister signalled there was scope to
tighten Australia’s international commitments to curb climate change, as some
of his Coalition colleagues rubbished the significance of the deal reached in
the French capital at the weekend.
The West Australian backbencher Dennis Jensen said the
agreement, which enshrined a goal of limiting temperature increases to 1.5C to
2C compared with pre-industrial levels, was accompanied by “a lot of hype”. And
the Sydney-based Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly mocked any suggestion that
“the world is saved”.
