Shorty

Chris Bowen is lying to the world, and committing fraud against the Australian people. This graph is from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment, and Water's own March 2026 Quarterly Update, I took this screenshot myself. Look at the top graph, it shows cumulative change in Co2 emissions broken down by sector. Most of the sectors are clustered around the '0%' mark... some above, some below, the average of them all would be close to ZERO change in 21 years. But there's one outlier... ONE line that dive down from the 0% (equal to 2005 levels) and down past a 50% reduction... PAST a 100% reduction (which is mathematical nonsense but I'll explain in a moment) past a TWO HUNDRED PERCENT REDUCTION, and has hovered between 150 and 200% reduction for the last few years. If you look at the key, that dotted green line is a thing called 'LULUCF'. What's that? "Land use, land use change, forestry" In practical terms ALL of the supposed '25% reduction compared to 2005 levels' that Australia has achieved has come from changes in land use and forestry in this country. What does that mean in real terms? 1. it means our economy is NOT 'decarbonising' at all, the wider project is a complete fail despite all the money spent, making Bowen and co a bunch of liars. 2. All the jobs we've lost, the manufacturing and heavy industry, the offshoring of real productive capacity... all of the independence and sovereignty we've given up in the name of reducing Co2 emissions... has at BEST brought the INCREASE to a standstill... not reduced the Co2 emissions of Australia's economy. 3. it means that productive land is being 'locked up', land that was cleared and producing food and fibre is being left fallow or being planted with things that have no value to us EXCEPT that they take Co2 out of the atmosphere and the government is willing to pay you to do that. I will note specifically that the biggest 'loser' besides land use, is electricity generation which is claimed to be 26.6% lower Co2 emissions today than it was in 2005 which sound impressive until you realise that means there's 73.4% still to go and we've already spent insane BILLIONS just getting to where we are, and the bit we've already done? That's the 'cheap' bit... from here each bit of 'progress' gets more expensive. If you just look at the lovely green bar graph as it drops away you'd think WOW we're going great! if you just believed the nonsense 25% claims then you'd be conned into thinking that Australia is kicking goals. The truth is we're just locking up productive land, calling it a 'carbon sink' and cooking the paperwork to make ourselves look good. Australia is a fraud on the world stage, Bowen is a liar, emissions reductions are a failure, and it's time to admit the emperor has no clothes. Project 800ppm all the way!
