New Oz Climate Plan"A Steaming Pile Of Nothingness" - No, You CAN'T See Our Modeling, It's SECRET!!

[hatrack]

EDIT

After releasing an updated technology roadmap on Tuesday that assumes the lowering cost of technology will allow Australia to reach its net zero goal, the government has faced a barrage of criticism from experts about the lack of detail in the plan. The “technology not taxes” document released by Morrison suggests 40% of the emissions reduction task is achieved through the technology roadmap, while 30% comes from unspecified global technology trends, and “further technology breakthroughs”.

Climate advocate Mike Cannon-Brookes derided the updated plan as “more bullshit”, saying the government’s claimed technology-driven approach was “inaction, misdirection and avoiding choices”. Labor, which has pledged to release its updated emissions reduction targets after the Glasgow summit, called the plan a “steaming pile of nothingness” and called on the government to release the modelling.

“They have modelling and they are refusing to release it. These guys who spent 2019 talking about the cost of climate action to delay it have modelling that is secret. What have they got to hide?” the shadow minister for climate change, Chris Bowen, said.

In parliament, Morrison said modelling from the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (Diser) would be released within weeks, and he insisted the government would pursue an “Australian way” that would not regulate or shut down industries. “The reason Labor doesn’t like our plan is because there are no taxes in it. They don’t like our plan because there are no mandates telling people what to do and regulations trying to control their lives. That’s why Labor doesn’t like our plan,” Morrison said. He also held up his smartphone in parliament as an example of the technology revolution that would drive down emissions.
