Hardly Fair Dinkum

Question: What's worse than a country not having a strategy for carbon zero? Answer: Producing a plan so risible it makes the country a laughing stock. Australia's 2050 net zero emissions plan relies on 'gross manipulation' of data (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/30/australias-2050-net-zero-emissions-plan-relies-on-gross-manipulation-of-data-experts-say). Details of the 'modelling' are not revealed but the 'plan' uses estimates for carbon dioxide storage in trees and soil, massively above the upper values of what authoritive peer-reviewed science suggests is possible. This is science for the fairies (or coal barons)? They do the planet no favours by indulging in a cosmetic exercise.
