Financial analyst Alan Kohler on carbon offsets.
The whole safeguard mechanism for regulating the largest carbon polluters here in Australia is built on using carbon offsets. What a house of cards Labor has established. They use this as justification for not needing a climate trigger in environment laws. -
An Interesting NYT article on the possibilities of soil carbon storage in Australia using fungal spores. This will also help in building up the carbon nutrients in agricultural soils. But Australia's #SafeguardMechanism allows Fossil gas companies to offset Scope 1 & 2 emissions through buying carbon credits, which is highly problematic.

Research: Australian human-induced native forest regeneration carbon offset projects have limited impact on changes in woody vegetation cover and carbon removals.
Poor integrity carbon offsets actually enables fossil fuel projects to increase emissions under current #SafeguardMechanism policy settings which allows unlimited offset credits to meet set targets.

Australia's #SafeguardMechanism allows #fossilfuel projects to proceed as long as Type 1 & 2 emissions are offset. But what if those #carbonoffsets are based on a flawed and still being researched methodology... like #soilcarbon?

Perverse outcome: Largest coal mines in Australia🇦🇺 can increase emissions and receive climate credits for doing so under Labor’s Safeguard Mechanism.
Is this a flaw or a feature?
The problem with under-reporting fugitive emissions is well known due to the baseline average methodology that does not include site measurements or satellite measurements.

Australian🇦🇺 Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen needs to adopt accurate fugitive emissions reporting methodology as part of regulations for coal and gas mines, to avoid the perverse outcome of some of Australia's largest Coal mines being allowed to increase emissions to 2030 and receive climate credits worth up to $180 million under the #SafeguardMechanism.

CW: Australian Labor Government acting slow on Climate. Some thoughts after the ALP National Conference.
Australian Labor Government acting slow on #ClimateAction. Some thoughts after the ALP National Conference. We need to ensure what the Labor Government does commit to do in the climate action space, it does very well. No loopholes.
* Integrity of #CarbonOffset credits a major loophole in #SafeguardMechanism.
* We need a climate trigger in the refresh of the EPBC Act. This can prevent new coal and gas approvals.
* The Nature Repair Market proposed by Plibersek is highly problematic in financialising #biodiverrsity which may lead to perverse extinction outcomes, but driving new profits like in the carbon offsets market.
* Net Zero Authority already established (a positive) needs to draw up fossil project phaseout contingency plans as part of a #JustTransition framework.
* Ambitious #FuelEmissionStandards important to get EVs imported and to drive takeup.
* Impose a #carbontax per tonne on all coal and gas exported. This is a transitional tax to raise revenue.
* Phaseout Fossil Fuel tax subsidies presently at $11bn per year (#G20 Commitment)
* Maintain #renewables increase and upgrade grid (transmission), grid and community batteries as urgent priority
* Prioritise reducing FF methane fugitive emissions and address measuring and reporting methodology that is failing to match satelite data (Commitment to #GlobalMethanePledge)
* Stop subsidising gas & carbon capture and storage projects (Coal to Hydrogen in Vic, subsidy to Middlearm project Darwin) Chevron's Gorgon project demonstrates #CCS falls far short of meeting targets.
* Release the ONI Climate Security Report to #TellTheTruth
* Put in place #bushfire and #heatwave preparedness measures for this summer in co-operation with the states. Fire scientist David Bowman says we are sleepwalking into disaster this summer. Early bushfire warnings already issued for SE Queensland (a month earlier than in 2019)
* Declare a Climate Emergency (A largely symbolic action, but there can be meaningful consequences)This was a rapidly put together list after the ALP national conference. A lot more could be added.

Impromptu protest outside Wills Federal Labor MP Peter Khalil about lack of meeting, engaging and listening to local climate groups about #SafeguardMechanism and #CarbonOffsets and importance of #NoNewCoal, #NoNewGas, #NoDodgyOffsets.
Peter signed the #ClimateEmergency declaration some years ago and we want him to listen to the science and incorporate that in climate policy as part of the Australian Government.

I love how Alan Kohler ends this article on the Safeguard Mechanism and Australian Carbon Credit Units. He understands the threat of the climate crisis, and as a Financial analyst, the need for solutions under market capitalism.
"It’ll be you and I, the customers, who pay. And since it’s the government imposing it, let’s call it a tax – a carbon tax.
Fine with me, but then, I’m woke."https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2023/01/30/emissions-labor-carbon-tax-kohler/
