Scott Morrison says Australia's emissions record is better than the US, NZ, Canada, Japan and many European countries. Is that correct?

"As school children gathered in front of Kirribilli House to demand further
action from the government on climate change, Prime Minister Scott Morrison had
a message for them.

When asked about the protest at a press conference in the Sydney suburb of
Randwick, Mr Morrison sought to highlight Australia's record on emissions
reductions, "contrary to what they might be being told by many people with
other agendas".

"Australia is reducing its emissions by around 20 per cent. They probably
mightn’t know that Australia has reduced its emissions by more than New
Zealand, by more than Canada, by more than the United States, by more than
Japan, by more than many countries in Europe," he said.

Has Australia reduced its emissions by more than the USA, New Zealand, Canada,
Japan and many countries in Europe? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.

The verdict

Mr Morrison's claim is misleading."

Scotty from Marketing’s nose is still growing…
