“It blows away all the data being presented in the Global Carbon Project, which is based on self-reporting by nations,” says Peter Newman, a Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University who is currently attending COP27 and watched Gore’s launch.The Global Carbon Project’s estimates for 2021 were 40.2 gigatonnes of CO2-equivalent.According to Climate TRACE’s data, Australia emits 0.65 gigatonnes of CO2-equivalent, making it responsible for 1.10% of global carbon emissions and the 15th-largest emitter in the world.Chevron’s Gorgon gas mine, once the self-styled “world’s largest carbon capture and storage project” was listed as the 14th largest emitter in Australia.There’s never been a more important time to explain the facts, cherish evidence-based knowledge and to showcase the latest scientific, technological and engineering breakthroughs."
