"As the COP26 climate talks wind up in Glasgow, Australia has again proved
itself a climate laggard on the world stage. Prime Minister Scott Morrison
might be a marketing supremo, but he can’t spin his way out of his government’s
failures.

Indeed, it is baffling the prime minister would think his new commitment to net
zero emissions by 2050 would be enough to warrant a plane ticket to Scotland.

But while Morrison does not appear to understand – or care – what is required
from Australia under the 2015 Paris Agreement, and what is at stake at COP26,
his refusal to ramp up emissions reductions is starting to backfire."
