Letters: For the sake of emissions targets, we must pay extra to do as we re told

16 July 2021 • 12:01am Boris Johnson at the launch of COP26 UN Climate Summit, to be hosted in Glasgow in autumn 2021 Credit: Jeremy Selwyn - WPA Pool SIR – The United Kingdom emits about 1 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases, yet we are mandated to provide “world leadership” in reducing carbon emissions. To achieve these targets (politically arrived at), we are told we will have to heat our homes expensively, to travel less – and if we do, expensively. We are also told what to drive and now what to eat, all accompanied by higher taxes. We won’t save the planet, but the control freaks will have won.

Claims rare frog has been found near mine site

THE purported discovery of a rare frog should stop the proposed Fingerboards mineral sands minds from going ahead, opponents claim. Volunteer researcher Brendan Casey says he has recorded multiple call events of the Giant Burrowing Frog (Heleioporus australiacus) on private land near the Fingerboards at Glenaladale. The frog is listed as vulnerable to extinction within the federal Environment Biodiversity Conservation Act, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act. The Fingerboards is the site of the proposed Kalbar mineral sands mine which will cover more than 2000 hectares of private and public land. For more read Friday’s Gippsland Times.
