AU. Modelling shows gas project emissions will cause hundreds of heat-related deaths. Woodside stated that emissions from the Scarborough project are "negligible" in a global context. New research shows AU can no longer use that as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

For the first time, scientists can show the impact of gas project emissions
Fossil fuel companies and governments have argued it’s not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.

Fantastic that this attribution research by climate scientists is out in the world!

Hope citizens, schoolchildren & journos use it to hold fossil fuel corps like Woodside & their enablers like SA Premier Malinauskas & fed Enviro Min Watt accountable for deaths & enviro harm fr fossil fuel projects
