"Those who do not support climate targets will be held accountable for it"
Just another one of the little globalist lackeys ttbn.

Actually, thinking about it, I think I called them all far worse names at one point.
This is all our leaders are:

The national renewable obsession will inflict far more damage than climate change. Our future is now determined by anarchists, activists, “carbon capitalists” and a ruthless political class happy to equate “carbon” with carbon dioxide. They won’t rest until they destroy the economic foundation of our way of life.

Energy prices are the key to any economy.

As if to emphasise the reason the Federal Liberals were kicked out - too much like Labor - the Victorian Liberals have adopted a 50 per cent carbon emissions reduction by 2030 target, matching Labor; and they want it legislated immediately.

Don't worry about China. We are moving towards the One Party People's Republic of Australia on our own.

People are quite able to ignore information contrary to their deeply held beliefs. It is called “cognitive dissonance”.Cults (like the current climate cult) believe in a looming catastrophe, usually coming up with some excuse when the predicted date of the catastrophe comes and passes.

Globally all politicians, both left and right, are out of touch with the question of energy. For about 20 years those engaged in energy research have warned that we are reaching 'peak fossil fuel energy'. This does not mean that we have run out of the fossil fuels but rather that the energy required to extract the fossil fuels is greater than the energy it supplies. First Covid and now the war in Ukraine have helped to disguise the extent of the challenge.
The world has not used the last 20 years well. We have continued to encourage lifestyles which depend on high energy consumption with the result that we have run down our stocks even faster than before.
Unsurprisingly this discussion has focussed on climate change but even if climate change were not a problem we would still need to explore alternative sources of energy.
The original question posed conveniently ignores the reality that even if we build new coal fired power stations energy will rapidly become unaffordable as the world runs out of sufficient coal/oil and gas to keep those power stations going.
Globally the problem is the same - politicians are reluctant to tell people that we are living beyond our means. It is not a popular message and it is one that politicians from across the political spectrum are unwilling to address.

"This does not mean that we have run out of the fossil fuels but rather that the energy required to extract the fossil fuels is greater than the energy it supplies."

If that were true, they wouldn't be drilling more wells and building more pipelines.
In fact, it's ALL ABOUT drilling wells and building new pipelines.
And that's why Chevron is worth some 270 bln and ENI 55bln in marketcap, and why Gazprom is raking in a billion a day;
- and why the West starts wars to engineer an energy crisis that increases the price of energy so that new projects in the Eastern Mediterranean, be it the Leviathon gasfields owned by Chevron and the Zohr gasfields owned by state-owned ENI become that much more profitable.

Payday for western oil and gas, while people in Ukraine die.
But you know all of it's just 'good business', and money in the pockets of those in the know.
- The worlds just a big scam for corporate greed, the rest of us remain too stupid and ignorant to know any better.
