Fossil fuels account for one in five premature adult deaths each year.
Of the big pledges so far at the UN climate conference, cutting methane could have the most immediate impact.
Coal is the dirtiest fuel source – eliminating it is a priority for tackling climate change.
Most concerning is the long-term upward trends of CO₂ emissions form burning fossil fuels, which are far from trending towards net-zero by 2050.
Climate justice is about both where emissions come from and who suffers the consequences.
We discovered that the 12 largest petrochemical companies announced 88 new projects between 2012 and 2019: new and expanded facilities that will likely operate for decades, ramping up carbon emissions.
Here are four ways the current electricity system favours existing, higher emitting technologies. These must be overcome to rapidly cut Australia’s emissions.
Electric vehicle sales are booming and coal power is dwindling, but structural obstacles to net zero remain.
Transcripts and internal documents show how the industry shifted from leading research into fossil fuels’ effect on the climate to sowing doubt about science.
For a net-zero plan not to include a strategy to phase out this enormous contribution to climate change is an abrogation of responsibility.
Saudi Arabia and soon Australia are making net zero pledges, but they have no plans to wind down fossil fuel output soon.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is poised to announce Australia will adopt a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. But it’s too little, too late.
The real decisions on Australia’s emissions reduction are being made by state governments and civil society, or outside the country altogether.

The problem of increasing plastic waste has been exacerbated by the pandemic, requiring better regulation and monitoring to solve.
This is a transcript of part 2 of Climate Fight: the world’s biggest negotiation, a series from The Anthill podcast.
Problems with affordable, accessible energy could be mitigated by making more energy providers publicly owned.
