Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has cleared the air on his party’s position on the Paris climate agreement: We won’t be pulling out of it. Why? There is no need, because it will have precisely zero impact on business-as-usual in Australia.
In an interview with Sydney radio shock-jock Alan Jones and former Abbott advisor Peta Credlin on Sky News on Tuesday, Morrison reiterated that his government would not spend any new money on the global climate compact, but ruled out “ripping up” Australia’s part of the deal.
Australia, as a signatory to the Paris Agreement on climate change, has committed to reduce its total emissions to 26-28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, and pitch for zero net emissions by 2050.
