I don't know what they think causes climate change but burning fossil fuels to go see a decimated penguin colony is part of it.
That aside, this from a WA state Labor Government thats all "drill, baby, drill!" in terms of Gas, so not much hope of emissions mitigation from those shit stains or alas, the voters electing them :(
