That story is unconfirmed, and the palaeontologist, Ji Qiang, who was given the fossil by a man claiming to be the labourer's grandson does not believe it to be true.

But there's an interesting aside that many articles have missed. It's widely reported that the Harbin skull was discovered in 1933 during bridge construction, buried in a well by the labourer who found it, and rediscovered when that man revealed its existence to his family on his deathbed.

6. Finally, a note on the targets. The 2030 targets will require lots to be done (like building transmission and a workforce) to ensure the renewables can be ramped up sufficiently, in line with the projections. And then for 2050... well... something will need to happen in the rest of the economy.

5. Now for the projections... Labor's 2030 target will me met mostly by cuts in the electricity sector. But you need to read the projections with caution. They actually simply *assume* that the cuts are made, and pop them on the chart. (Also, those cuts peter out after 2030.)

3. Another problem with that (aside from not representing a shift in how our economy is functioning) is that the measure of land use emissions is very unreliable. The government changes its mind every year about it. And each time, it seems to be revised to make things look better.
