Federal government approves #Woodside’s massive #NorthWestShelf #extension with protections for rock art.
The extension to 2070 of one of the world’s biggest #gas export projects, the Govt saying it has agreed to conditions to protect more than 1m pieces of ancient #WorldHeritage listed #indigenous #rockart that sit adjacent to the site.
Climate campaigners have described Woodside’s North West Shelf extension as a “#carbonbomb” that is incompatible with global climate goals. #auspol

This week, the freshly re-elected #Albanese Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for #Woodside (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a #CarbonBomb that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.
Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.

This hashtag could help get the point across in terms of mass atrocities against human life.
#CarbonBombs as a weapon of mass destruction - the destruction of human life is slower than for atomic bombs and chemical/biological weapons, but just as lethal in terms of #BodyCount s.

City of London banks have poured $100bn (£75bn) into companies developing “carbon bombs”.
‘Nine #London-based banks, including #HSBC, #NatWest, #Barclays and #Lloyds are involved in financing companies responsible for at least 117 #CarbonBomb projects in 28 countries between 2016 – the year after the landmark Paris agreement was signed – and 2023’
