Australia's plan to achieve zero emissions will only reduce them by one third 
gas by 2050. According to Bloomberg analysts, the strategy will cut emissions by only one third and make the consequences of a climate catastrophe inevitable.
According to the document, in the middle of the century, the country will emit 215 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere – this is a slight reduction in emissions compared to the current level of 316 million tons. The model also assumes that 94 million tons of carbon dioxide will be offset by 2050 – most of this (70 percent) will be reduced by investments in new technologies such as carbon capture and storage systems.
“The focus on reducing the cost of planet-friendly technologies will enable Australia to achieve zero emissions by 2050 without endangering the economy and saving jobs,” said Australian Energy Secretary Angus Taylor. At the same time, the country, which is highly dependent on imports of coal harmful to the planet, is not going to abandon it even to save it from disaster.
Bloomberg experts believe that the published plan is unlikely to ease the pressure on the government led by Scott Morrison – Australia will continue to be asked to develop a more effective plan to deal with the climate crisis. However, Morrison sees the solution to the global problem not in the introduction of restrictions like taxes on emissions, which make life difficult and force businesses to close. The Prime Minister believes that saving the planet will come through voluntary actions.
At the end of October, the Australian authorities were sued for their unwillingness to resist global warming. Communities living on the Torres Strait Islands have worried about frequent rainstorms and floods destroying their homes and have decided to oblige the Australian government to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 74 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels. According to climatologists, this is the amount of emissions that need to be neutralized in order to save the Torres Strait Islands from flooding.
