Simone Fox Koob tells us it's all 'smoke and mirrors'

Climate activist shareholder groups have slammed Commonwealth Bank’s new fossil fuel targets for failing to rule out lending for oil and gas extraction projects, according to a story from today's Melbourne Age by Simone Fox Koob. Her story - "‘Smoke and mirrors’: CBA climate lending targets under fire" - helps us understand how the climate crisis will never be resolved using existing economic tools. A second story from The Age by Laura Chung and Nick O'Malley is headed: "As big as two Harbour bridges: The giant wind farms you’ll see from the coast". Other climate stories are: "Controversy brews as Australia eyes entering the global carbon trade"; "The US has finally passed a huge climate bill. Australia needs to keep up"; "Australian electricity companies not reducing emissions in line with Paris agreement goals, study finds"; "Experts say the net zero concept is often used to delay taking action against emissions"; "NT government abandons plan to include mining industry in new environmental laws"; "French tourist regions under renewed threat from bushfires".
