The Federal Government might at last put a lid on all the ranting and chanting.

From the article:
Australia will take a new long-term emissions reduction target to November's UN climate summit, as the Morrison government weighs up whether to join more than 80 countries to commit to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Mr Taylor said on Sunday the government believed the answer was not a new tax or more bureaucracy but "practical change" driven by science and technology.
"The pathway to meaningful impacts on global emissions is through development and deployment of new technologies," Mr Taylor said.
"That is where Australia can have the biggest impact on reducing global emissions."
He confirmed the government expected to deliver a long-term emissions reduction strategy before the Glasgow summit.
When asked directly about the 2050 target, Mr Morrison said he would "never make a commitment like that if I couldn’t tell the Australian people what it would cost them”.
Mr Taylor and Mr Morrison have continued to declare Australia would "meet and beat" its 2030 Paris targets of reducing emissions by between 26 to 28 per cent on 2005 levels, potentially without using Kyoto carryover credits.
The government is also close to finalising its draft Technology Investment Roadmap, which it says will set a framework for investment priorities in emissions-reducing technologies over the short term (to 2022), medium term (to 2030) and long term (to 2050).
It sounds as though the Government is actually working on a plan, without the use of a napkin, which is new and novel method that might show a degree on maturity which would be a new and novel approach.lol
That should make everyone feel better, they can sit down and have a nice cup of tea now, it is all going to be fixed.
Without shooting from the hip.
