The current aim is to reduce emissions to 5% below the levels they were in 2000.
2000: 558Mt CO2 less 5% = 530Mt
That's to reduce output to 530Mt by the year 2020,
current output(you've got that part right) = 578Mt
so its a reduction!
The projected figure for 2020 with no action/carbon tax/reductions/ forecasts 690Mt, perhaps that is the bit you misread? |
Impressive - I note the Prime Minister has stated on more than one occasion in the last few weeks the Aussie Carbon Tax will be the equivalent of removing 24 million cars from the road......... The 24 million figure is the same as the Chinese Government has predicted to take to the Road in china this decade..... A real reduction in Global Carbon Emissions.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
