Ketan Joshi (@[email protected])Attached: 3 images It is obviously important that we measure how carbon moves from biomass to air, or from air to biomass, due to human choices. But the inherent uncertainty, uniqueness and complexity of emissions measurements here seems to have turned it into a massive engine of climate delay, in Australia. I've been tracking revisions to the dataset for five years, every major revision has seen the base year rise, and recent years fall, making target achievement easier for both the Liberals and the Labor party. The most recent change is worse than ever: moving Australia 6% closer towards its 2030 target in the time it took to publish the PDF (equivalent to five years of deployment of wind and solar). Transport, industry, fossil mining and agriculture emissions in Australia are not falling. The power sector's reductions are slowing down. And this situation is being wholly masked by unreliable, massive revisions to Australia's land use sector.
