Former UN climate chief urges Australia to set ‘prosperity’ target of cutting emissions by 75% by 2035 – ‘Would increase the country’s chance of winning rights to host Cop31 in 2026’
The intervention by Christiana Figueres, an architect of the 2015 Paris agreement when she was the executive secretary of the UN framework convention on climate change, comes before discussions about Australia’s commitment, due to be announced next month...
Figueres said setting a target of a 75% or more reduction would be “not a burden”, but instead be “Australia’s ticket into the prosperity of the future”. She suggested the ambitious goal would increase Australia’s chance to win the rights to host a major UN climate summit in Adelaide in November 2026.
You are playing with people’s lives, as fanatics always do.

Second prize: Host COP31 *and* COP32
I bet the Aussies just can’t wait to see all those executive jets arrive.
They really mean the good citizens of Australia have to pay for these wasteful, idealistic 'climate' junkies...
Pathetic.
DJ - Third prize - implement one of the resolutions.
Peter - yes, a grifters and nutters jamboree is just what they need to raise the spirits.
Scrobs - unless they can get out of it. A hefty tax on EVs would probably help there.
I read a lot of Australian blogs, ( it is just next door ) , and the Aussies are just as pissed off by all the green nonsense as everyone else. Unreliable and expensive power that is liable to fail is just what you need when the temperature is reaching 40 deg.
John - I ought to read more Aussie blogs too. I must get back to reading Jo Nova more often, that would be a start.
Once the Australian government hands over the running of the country to China, which seems quite feasible considering the amount of land owned by companies linked to the Chinese government, I would suggest the first thing they will do is re-open the coal mines. Forcing all the Australian citizens to work in them will then show very low unemployment figures. Hopefully, the Australian politicians will be the first ones to be given a shovel.

Penseivat - yes, even from the other side of the world it is possible to see that Australian politicians have not been wary enough about Chinese ownership.
Congratulations! You've won this hard fort for marathon and become an international star. Here is this 40mm high green plastic figure from a Xmas cracker as a trophy.
Tammly - not plastic!
After the few embarrassments they have had in countries within 50 latitude degrees of a pole - weather not complying with the settled science - they always go to reliable warm countries.
Doonhamer - odd isn't it? Also countries with facilities and menials for laying on the luxury.
