Those dedicated to the Paris Agreement cannot logically support the Woodside LNG project’s operation until 2070, according to Woodside.

The environment minister, Murray Watt, has approved a 40-year extension to a major fossil fuel development in Australia. This decision has raised concerns about the potential impact on ancient Murujuga rock art, some of which is nearly 50,000 years old. While there is evidence to suggest that emissions have damaged the rock types on which the art is etched, the government claims that this issue peaked in the 1970s. However, critics argue that current pollution levels are actually four times higher now than back then and accuse scientists who worked on the project of being silenced. These concerns, along with the significant greenhouse gas emissions from the project, raise serious doubts about the decision and suggest it may face legal challenges.
