Australiaās 2035 emissions reduction target does not match the urgency of the crisis outlined in the govtās own climate risk assessment, nor its Paris commitments, say 60 scientists in an open letter to PM Albanese.

"Australia will not hit the targets of 62-70 per cent reduction by 2035 and net zero by 2050 because the logistics of doing so require new forests the size of half of Victoria to be grown in 10 years, followed by further forests the size of two Tasmanias" Alan Kohler.

Farmland for forests may be the net zero trade-off
The problem with an emissions reduction target is that its mere existence implies it is achievable and that if we do achieve it, we will be fine. The truth is more complex.
