"The federal government’s decision to extend the life of Woodside’s North West
Shelf gas plant in Western Australia has been condemned as a climate disaster.

The gas lobby claims more gas is needed to secure energy supplies, pointing to
predicted gas shortages in parts of Australia in the short term. But given most
proposed gas projects are directed at the export market, the problem is likely
to persist.

And the science is clear: no fossil fuel projects can be opened if the world is
to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Despite this, a slew of polluting gas projects are either poised to begin
operating in Australia, or lie firmly in the sights of industry."
