Shakespeare must have been a lot dumber that I gave him credit for.

That doesn't make sense. The world needs coal right now.If Angus is trying to argue it should get credit for reducing emissions overseas, it should also take responsibility for fueling the climate crisis as the world’s largest exporter of coal.
His mate Canavan repeated the spin...
“Yes, from a carbon accounting perspective, that increases Australia’s carbon emissions because we are the country where the gas is liquified, however the gas is then used in other countries and they use the gas to replace, often coal, but sometimes dirtier forms of power, and that helps the world’s carbon emissions,” he said.
It was a diversion and spin on the day that they finally released the December emissions figures, just after the election.
Angus said about the Paris targets that the government’s climate targets were “ambitious”, despite the fact that its 26%-28% emissions reduction target is not considered to be aligned with the Paris goal of limiting global heating to no more than 2 degrees.

Angus is also being cheeky in the way that he claiming that Australia will meet its Paris targets.
The government says it will meet the Paris target by using so-calledcarry-over carbon credits from the Kyoto Protocol period. Those credits total 367 million tonnes, and counting them towards the Paris goals halves Australia's emissions reduction task.

Even the NZ Climate minister has called Angus out.
KIERAN GILBERT:Yeah, we will talk to Labor about it. I promise you we will pursue them on this because it is a very worthwhile question of them - but you're the Government, and you're the one who has committed to using the carryover. What do you say to Climate Minister Shaw from New Zealand who says this is not in the spirit of the Paris agreement, to be using this when other nations, the EU, the UK, and others have said that they're not going to use this carryover?
ANGUS TAYLOR:Well, I say we have exceeded our Kyoto targets, those other countries mostly haven't. No wonder they don't want us to use them. Look, there is less carbon in the atmosphere because of what Australia's done. New Zealand is going to use international credits to get there because they don't want to go around and reduce their cattle herd. Look, the question though remains is how is Labor going to get to 45 per cent, Kieran? It is the fundamental question. It remains unanswered by them. Independent modelling tells us $9,000 hit to your average earnings of a worker per year, and 336,000 jobs - and that's if they use the carryover, that's if they use the carryover.
