Extinction Rebellion’s message is simple: the Cop26 climate summit was bullshit, and Australia’s contribution stunk most of all.
Not only did the Morrison Government take a weak, non-binding ‘plan’ with no new policies or mandates, it also refused to sign global pledges aimed at limiting methane emissions and phasing out fossil fuel production.
Instead, the Government continued to spruik coal and gas, with the major carbon polluter Santos taking centre stage at Australia’s pavilion in Glasgow.
