Have you seen this? At the Paris Climate Summit, our Premier committed to be a world leader in climate change action with a goal of less than 2 degrees global warming. The very idea of now encouraging new fossil fuel projects is mind-boggling. Yet our State Government is heavily promoting that “South Australia’s Door Is Open” to oil and gas mining. This is the wrong direction. It’s reversing when it comes to acting on global warming, is economically reckless for our state, and threatens our future.
The world is saying enough is enough. South Australians are saying it’s time for change. Our leader’s business as usual approach of launching a next generation of fossil fuels, when there is an alternative clean energy path, is crazy.
Let’s shut the door on new fossil fuels in our backyard.
