Learn how to understand per capita
Australia has less than 1% of the world's population and makes 3% of the pollution.
(Without accounting for all the pollution Australia exports we are already worse than China India etc.

Source? 🤔
I made it up.
I can't remember honestly, that 3% number was honestly a guesstimate because I know it was some fraction not a whole number.
Some documentary on YouTube a couple years ago, or it may have been an episode of media watch. That vaguely feels like where I remember it from.
I'm happy to be corrected.
But I know for sure our per capita CO2 emissions are higher than most other countries including China.
For how small our population is we are one of the worst polluters.
I see nothing wrong with CO2. ðŸ¤ðŸ˜„🧡
Why are Eastern states being so punished for Australia's mining industry?
Now that's a good question.
It's probably got something to do with how almost none of resource extractors pay royalties for what they take.
Yet royalties do not "fix" climate change. 🙃🫤 No amount of money fixes emissions. Eliminating consumerism will surely help. Bitcoin fixes that. 🧡
