Peter Dutton accused of trying to ‘rip up’ Australia’s commitment to Paris climate agreement

Peter Dutton has been accused of planning to break Australia’s commitment to the landmark Paris climate agreement after he said he would reject the country’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target. The opposition leader reportedly told the Weekend Australian that he would oppose the legislated 2030 emissions target – a 43% cut compared with 2005 levels – at the next election but remain committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Dutton also reportedly conceded that the Coalition’s commitment to introduce nuclear power in Australia would not lead to plants being built before 2040, a point made by experts, and critics who have accused the opposition of planning to delay action to address the climate crisis. The opposition leader said he would do more to promote the use of gas, a fossil fuel. He was quoted as saying there was “no sense in signing up to targets you don’t have any prospect of achieving”.

    His proposals should be scrutinized for their impact on Australia's long-term climate strategy

            This is a grave mistake! Undermining the Paris climate agreement endangers our planet & future generations. This move must be condemned with all terms possible.

              Such people should not have power in any office.. We need leaders who have vision and determination to save our planet

                @chris_ngatia Voters has that power! But unfortunately most of the voters don't normally vote climate conscious leaders!

                  Any leader who drags down climate commitments should not be in office
