Coal Approval Sparks Climate Contradiction | Melbourne News
Description
Australia’s new environmental agency has greenlit a major coal mine in Queensland, clearing the way for 55 million tonnes of coal extraction until 2055 — despite climate pledges and Pacific summit commitments. The move sparks backlash from environmental groups calling it “double talk,” especially as the Prime Minister recently touted Australia’s climate credibility to Pacific leaders. While conditions include habitat protections for koalas and other species, critics argue the approval undermines climate goals and reveals weak environmental reforms.
