Australian Prime Minister Turnbull has rejected a call for moratorium on coal exports
- Says the moratorium would not cur emissions
Turnbull speaking to reporters
-
This is in response to a piece in the press overnight with:
- "We, the undersigned, urge you to put coal exports on the agenda at the 2015 Paris COP21 climate summit and to help the world's governments negotiate a global moratorium on new coal mines and coal mine expansions, as called for by President Anote Tong of the Republic of Kiribati, and Pacific Island nations"
Maybe Australia could export more uranium instead for nuclear generated power? Or, maybe we could all just ride donkeys and eat home grown vegies. While weaving baskets for export.
