Taylor avoids mention of bushfires as Australia given a zero for climate policy: RenewEconomy

"Australia has outdone itself in its latest performance on climate ambition. In an entirely fossil-worthy result Australia has just received a massive gong in the annual Climate Change Performance Index released today by Germanwatch, New Climate Institute and the Climate Action Network,” the Fossil of the Day citation says.

“What really jumps out is that while the Australian government is saying that it is taking meaningful action on climate change, it received a ZERO out of 100 on climate policy in the CCPI. On any measure zero is an outright failure! It’s no wonder that Australia’s climate pollution has been going up and up under the current government.”

It is understood that Angus Taylor had intended to leave Madrid following his address to the conference, but it is unknown whether he may now extend his stay, as the issue of the Kyoto carryover has yet to be resolved.

New Zealand and South Africa have effectively been appointed as mediators in the dispute over the Kyoto carryover issue, as Australia locks horns with over 100 other countries that want to see the Kyoto-era units excluded from the Paris Agreement.

A certain answer on whether other countries will consent to Australia using its surplus Kyoto units to meet its 2030 target may not be known until the closure of the conference at the end of the week."
