Craig Froome from the University of Queensland’s Global Change Institute analyses (The Conversation, 26.5.16) the Coalition’s ‘Low Emissions Technology Roadmap, released on 20 May 2016. He concludes:
‘The need to reduce emissions affects every aspect of how we will live our lives in the future. No major political party disputes the need to move from existing technology to a clean energy future. But policy, with sufficient financial backing, needs to be put in place now and supported by successive governments to have any chance of hitting the deadlines we face.’
