Michael Moore is just a shill for big oil.

Thanks, shared.

I'm already seeing posts from pro coal/anti climate change supporters about Moore's doco and how it vindicates using cheap coal

Yes, its a massively damaging development. Really frustrating.

Won't be surprised to see expanded uranium export and nuclear development being pushed as the way to get Aus economy back on top post-COVID.

Looks like Tapatalk advertisers are hoping that'll be the case..

Wouldn't want to miss the chance to make money!

Westpac to withdraw support for thermal coalmining after 2030

"Westpac has promised to stop supporting thermal coalmining, joining other major financial institutions in promising it will not back the fossil fuel industry through investments or loans beyond 2030."

A local environmental activist made a fake press release along these lines a few years ago. It caused a massive stir and he ended up getting reamed. Good on Westpac for following his lead.

Westpac, bullshit marketing. Way too little, way too late.

NT fracking emissions will be much larger than those of Adani.

It's a start and still better than just continuing handing them money for coal.

Indeed. Hand it to gas instead. Trouble with gas: the Coalition is betting on the fossil fuel for recovery – but the sums don't add up

Extraction of coal is far worse on human life than that of gas so it's win in my eyes, not saying what's left in the ground by fracking is good either but certainly a step forward, but thinking our current Australian govt will support business to make state-of-the-art facilities to make renewable energy plants is just crazy talk.

Theres not much in it b/w gas and coal - there is no win in supporting gas. Especially where shale gas is fracked.

The FF type is unimportant, the CO2 emissions are.

It's only about CO2 emissions.

But its the transition fuel

Oh lovely - a transition! Transitions make people feel warm & fuzzy.

I quote like my transition. I'm yet to ride it off road, but it does make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Just like a cuddle from a sloth. Which mirrors the pace of our desire to move away from destroying the planet.

I'm seeing the similarity.

Decisive and economically responsible action

What about the fake medicals that have killed thousands of workers in coal ?
