The latest quarterly emissions update has revealed emissions are still going up and remain higher under Anthony Albanese than when Scott Morrison left office, as the Greens call on Labor to stop backing coal and gas.
The data reveals emissions have risen year on year from 446.2 to 446.4 million tonnes.
The update also shows that emissions were higher in the year to December 2024 (446.4 Mt) than they were in the year to June 2022 when the Morrison Government left office (440.6 Mt).
These damning figures follow Labor's decision earlier this week to approve the climate-wrecking North West Shelf dirty gas extension to 2070, effectively killing the prospect of achieving net zero by 2050.
Labor approved over 30 new coal and gas projects in its last term.
The Australian Greens have said to have any chance of a safer climate, Labor must stop approving new coal and gas projects and start rapidly cutting emissions.
As stated by Leader of the Australian Greens, Senator Larissa Waters:
"Climate emissions are still going up and are higher under Anthony Albanese than under Scott Morrison.
"And just this week, Labor approved the climate-wrecking North West Shelf dirty gas extension to 2070.
"Two climate tests so far - and Labor's failed both.
"During the last term of parliament, Labor approved over 30 new coal and gas projects, and it doesn't look like they're slowing down any time soon.
"The Greens will keep fighting for strong climate action, and an end to new coal and gas."
