Concern that focus is on renewable energy rather than emissions reduction

Spelling it out. Eiffel Tower displays the
 message 'No plan B' during the UN
 Climate Change Conference in Paris on
December 11, 2015.

As climate talks commence in Marakesh in Morrocco this week (COP22) a noted energy expert says Australians need to change the narrative around climate change.

Tony Wood of think tank The Grattan Institute said as it now, Australia would struggle to meet its own emissions reduction levels promised in Paris last year.

That is to reduce CO2 emissions to 26-28 per cent of the levels they were at in 2005.

Mr Wood described the climate change discourse in Australia as toxic, and that many people in government did not even believe anything should be done to tackle it.
