#Budget2024 includes just $2 billion over 5 years in net new climate spending. It's too soon for the federal government to rest on its climate laurels.

"This fiscal update... reflects a government that feels it has done enough on climate change already or, at least, one that doesn’t feel like it can afford to do more. Neither of those things is true." My take on #FES2023 for @NatObserver: nationalobserver.com/2023/11/22/opi…
www.nationalobserver.com Fiscal update more than a missed opportunity for climate action We need significantly more money now and into the future to shift the economy away from the production and consumption of fossil fuels. It's such a disingenuous argument. Most of our oil is exported so tackling domestic demand does little to address supply.
We need to cut with both sides of the scissors: supply and demand.View quoted post on X
And the last people we should take advice from on phasing out fossil fuels are the CEOs of companies that sell it.
One of the biggest challenges in #climate politics: "while the difference between ‘no more greenhouse gas emissions’ and ‘keep burning’ is significant, it is not going to make that big an impact in the next few decades."
