Galilee Basin – carbon bomb Australia

An article in The Guardian UK (15.5.15) about mining expansion in Queensland’s Galilee Basin, ‘the new coal frontier’:

‘Around 27bn tonnes of coal are thought to be locked under the ground of the Galilee Basin in the outback of Queensland. A huge proposed complex of coal mines is planned here, including the world’s largest thermal coal project.

‘So are railway lines and a massive expansion of the Abbot Point port on the Great Barrier Reef.

‘What will this mean for the Aboriginal community, the Great Barrier Reef and the world’s climate?’
