Woodside’s North West Shelf gas project on the Burrup peninsula in Western Australia is one of the world’s largest liquified natural gas ventures.
In May the Labor government approved an extension for the project to run for an additional 40 years, from 2030 to 2070.
North West Shelf project extension emissions are scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions set out in the EPA application
Qantas domestic emissions are scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2023-24 as reported to the Clean Energy Regulator
Australian total agriculture emissions are the sum of agricultural emissions in the December 2024 National Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Emissions from all Australian gas plants derived from the primary fuel type in the 2023-24 electricity sector emissions data
Switzerland and Ireland total 2023 emissions sourced from Our World in Data
Apple’s emissions based on information from its 2024 environmental progress report, with more information about why renewable energy certificates and offsets are excluded here
Driving around Australia emissions estimated for doing the M1 “big lap” with a fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km Continue reading...

‘It was our hope spot’: scientists heartbroken as pristine coral gardens hit by Western Australia’s worst bleaching event

The Rowley Shoals are on many a diver’s bucket list. The three coral atolls, hundreds of kilometres off the Western Australian coastline, are teeming with pristine coral gardens that for a long time, unlike many of the world’s reefs, had escaped the ravages of global heating.

The North West Shelf extension is a disaster.
It will release more pollution each year than all of Australia’s coal stations combined, threaten ancient Murujuga rock art, and deliver $0 to the public purse.
Yet Labor approved it anyway.
