Tony abbott backs the coal industry against the climate policy changes that have resulted in the Paris agreement
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says his government has made a „major commitment“ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and commits $5 billion충주출장마사지 over six years towards the Commonwealth’s investment plan to reduce emissions.
„I believe this will take Australia and Australia and Australia’s businesses and businesses in general a step further towards being on par with the European nations,“ Mr Abbott said.
The Prime Minister, whose government has been one of the most successful in the nation’s history, said Mr Turnbull has called in his international counterpart Mark Turnbull for the first time to discuss the federal government’s climate policy.
But Mr Abbott did not provide details of how much this announcement would cost the taxpayer and what other funding the government wanted to pursue.
Mr Abbott said it will also „tackle some of the biggest global challenges of our time and will provide substantial funding for research and innovation and will ensure Australia and its businesses are able to continue to grow, innovate and produce jobs“.
His government’s previous carbon pricing scheme was implemented in the late 1990s to reduce carbon pollution, when Australia was the world leader in coal use.
Earlier the Prime Minister defended the government’s approach to climate change, saying Labor used the phrase „coal-fired power station“ to describe the technology in the 1990s when it was the national government.
„We had to come to a decision about where to invest this money, which is what we have now.
„As the national economy’s economy grows, you’re going to have to invest in this industry as well, as the economy’s become increasingly and increasingly energy secure and we all live increasingly and increasingly close to renewable energy sources and the use of technology.

Mr Turnbull said Australia will invest $5 billio007카지노n annually to improve efficiency, reduce coal use and reduce its reliance on coal-fired power stations.
„So the focus will always be on economic growth and jobs and economic prosperity — that’s the priority,“ he said.
„We are an international leader in science and technology, but it’s the global community, which is what the world leaders talk about in their respective talks each year, including the COP21 meeting in Paris next December, tha
