Australia is Already at Zero Net: Malcolm Roberts, By James Reed

One Nation's Malcolm Roberts puts the case that Australia is already at zero net carbon emissions:

Well done, everyone. What an amazing job you've done. I'm delighted to announce that the Commonwealth of Australia has reached its net zero target under the United Nations Paris Climate Agreement 30 years early. Well done, everyone. Senator Babet. Well done. I thank Senator Assistant Minister MacAllister for the definitions she used in the Senate chamber during the climate change bill from Article four of the UN Paris Climate Agreement.

Quote Net zero is a balance between human production of emissions and removal of those emissions by environmental sinks. End of quote. Our country has so many forests that Australia already sequesters sinks three times more carbon dioxide than we produce. Worldwide forests and oceans sink three quarters of human production. Under the Government's own definition, Australia is already at net zero and the rest of the world is not far behind.

But the Paris Agreement definition of net zero ends with these words quote: In the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. The UN Paris Agreement allows development, and that's great news for our project Iron Boomerang. Yet notice the last part eradicating poverty. If the Albanese government takes measures under its Climate Change Act that increases poverty in Australia, it will be in breach of the UN Paris climate agreement that the Liberal-Nationals signed.

Yet high energy prices from insane energy policies are increasing inflation, destroying wealth, destroying jobs and opportunity, and forcing people into poverty. Our human carbon dioxide production is not breaching the UN's Paris Agreement. Instead, the destruction of baseload power in this country and worldwide is breaching that agreement and it does not require that action. The Albanese Government cannot pick and choose which elements of the UN Paris Agreement it uses.

One Nation will hold this government to the letter of the UN agreement Australia signed, and that is simple. Climate, zealotry and deceit must not push one person into poverty. Not one person, not one, none."
