" rising emissions", which they warn are "threatening our society, environment and economy "
" The emissions trajectory also falls far short of what has otherwise been projected for the electricity sector - an industry that accounts for about a third of Australia's carbon pollution.
As Dylan McConnell of Melbourne University notes, the modelling to date has been based on sector emissions for the National Electricity Market, totalling 1352 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent for 2021 to 2030.
Separate work by the government's Climate Change Authority last year, however, projected electricity sector emissions of 1600 MT of CO2 for the whole 2020-50 period, and included Western Australia and the Northern Territory in that total.
Compared with the Authority's work then, the national energy guarantee would leave less than two years' of current power sector emissions for the entire 20 years after 2030, he says.
It really does look like there's a lot more work to be done. "
