Australia 'must continue to take action' against climate change
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia has been acting on climate warnings daily and denies the government ignored warnings about the deadly Black Summer bushfires. Australia has not ignored any of those warnings, our government has been acting on those warnings each and every day, he said. That is why emissions reductions have been 20 per cent on 2005 levels, it is why that we have installed seven gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2020. Mr Morrison said the renewable energy capacity was around eight times faster than the global average and Australia had met and beaten the Kyoto target and will do the same for the Paris target. It is why that we remain a steadfast, committed government to the Paris agreement, it is why we have invested $20 billion in ensuring the technology that not just Australia needs but developing countries. We will continue to take action; we must continue to take action. Read More Our Apps
