Should Australia join America’s war on carbon?

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been representing Australia at a virtual summit of world leaders discussing climate change. The summit was convened by US President Joe Biden, who has put tackling climate change at the centre of his administration's agenda.

Joe Biden promised to halve America’s emissions by 2030. Australia went to the summit without a firm target on reducing emissions. Dr Emma Shortis is an expert on climate change policies and US history.

With our plans for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage and no clear reduction target, is Australia out of step or out of date with the rest of the world and their targets? What is Scott Morrison’s end game?
