Prime Minister Scott Morrison should not commit to reducing carbon emissions unless China does “precisely the same thing at the same time”, says Sky News host Rowan Dean.
The Australian reports UK prime minister Boris Johnson urged his Australian counterpart to commit to a net-zero emissions policy during a phone call on Thursday evening.
“My advice to Scott Morrison would be make any pledge you make on climate conditional on it being proportionate to China doing precisely the same thing at the same time,” Mr Dean told Sky News host Chris Smith.
“If we reduce our emission by 50 per cent by the year dot, China must also have reduced verifiably their emissions by 50 per cent by that same time.”

B. Johnson wants to clean up his own back yard before he starts trying to push us around with his lefty woke bullying.
Sod off B. Johnson, (and get a decent hair cut)
1000%. That’s why Donald Trump backed out of the Paris peace accords. The Chinese are not obligated until 2035….”Supposedly.
At what point is the rest of the world going to realize that Chinese leadership are the bad guys? The people are amazing but the government are as corrupt as can be.
What a load of crap. We need DAMS and cheap power. Australia must be our first priority.
Well that sounds nice an all but china will tell you one thing an do another. Climate change is bullshit
boycott everything made in china
boycott the china winter games

A bit like people shouldn't follow the covid rules until the politicians do. "We're all in this together".
Let's build some coal power plants!
UK clearly needs a new PM…
It doesn't matter, liberal will be gone in next election. Labour will commit net Zero target and be friend with China again. I don't like labour, but it will swipe to win the national election like it did in WA.
All this rhetoric and hyperbole is how the media and the politicians think of declining ecosystems.
Don't let Kerry push you around. He's a fraud.
It sounds like this a China funded thing with Zero emissions ! How much is Joe & Boris in donations are they getting from China andWhats good for the Goose is good for the Ganda,
We call out 1, an INDEPENDENT investigation into Australian war crimes in Afghanistan; 2, an INDEPENDENT investigation into why top Australian government and military officials murdered the Australian soldiers who did the massacre in Afghanistan; 3, setting up of an international court to punish Australian war criminals; 4, UN to sanction Australian trade, culture communication and so on with other countries.
It only makes sense
China has 1.4 bil population and Aus has only 25 mil. Is the ratio goes 50:50? Can this be the same?
They already did.
Like children 'oh ill do it if he dose' classic avoiding responsibility, real mature.
Climate change is caused by SOLAR PARTICLE FORCING. There is NOTHING humans can do about it. Reduce pollution, (which CO2 is NOT), sure, but "carbon" is a BS grift.
You forests are burning down, your great Barrier Reef is dying. If you don't care that's fine with us. Every country has their share of psychopaths. Sky News makes stupidity respectable.
No, China would need to cut it's emissions to at least 99%. We'd need to agree we only cut ours by 1% due to China's sheer population & total emissions. This would need to be a percentage based scenario.
Like kids in a sand box…"I'm not getting out 'til the other boys get out!!!"
Politicians should stop yakking about climate change, they're only adding to the problem with all their hot air!!
Stop exporting coal from QLD to China….just a thought guys.
Absolutely agree, why should a nation of 25 million people lead the world when a nation of over 1 billion do nothing
He shouldn’t commit to any number of net zero. It’s unachievable.
China makes all of our stuff. We literally exported our part of our total footprint. Yet they still pollute less than us per capita. Australia needs to stop playing whataboutism.
The PM should NOT do a thing about net zero!!! There is NO NEED!!! We NEED CO2, preferably is greater quantities than are now present!! WAKE UP!!!
These idiots have no Idea that China is way ahead of us with cutting pollution and are the best recyclers on the planet, America is the worst, we are a close second,,,wake up
"Climate change" doesn't care about per capita emissions. China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam are planning to build more than 600 coal plants able to generate a total of 300 gigawatts of energy. China has 368 power stations in the pipeline with 187 GW of capacity.
and India
Sky "News" should be banned
I've said it for years unless china agree to stop opening coal power stations and agree to zero pollution it's a waste of time
