The same climate experts whose model overestimated the potential of geological carbon storage have repeatedly underestimated solar power — one of the energy technologies that would allow more oil to remain in the ground. ➡️ Read our full story w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social: propub.li/4gdTCBc
Two line charts are depicted. At the top, the line chart is labeled "Carbon Capture Capacity." The y-axis is "megatons" and the x-axis is years (2010-2040). More than a dozen blue lines show a steady increase from the left edge of the chart to the right edge of the chart. Some of the blue lines exceed 4,000 megatons between years 2030 and 2040. The blue lines are labeled "Projections". A maroon line is at around 0 megatons from 2010 to 2025. The maroon line is labeled "Actual carbon storage". 

The second chart is labeled "Solar Power". The y-axis is "terawatt-hour" and the x-axis is years (2010-2040). Dozens of blue lines increase from around 0 on the left side of the chart, showing moderate growth from 2010 to 2040. The blue lines are labeled "Projections". A maroon line starts at 0 in 2010 and rises sharply to over 2,000 in 2024. The maroon line is obviously increasing much faster than the blue lines. The maroon line is labeled "Actual solar electricity production."

Right through the period where the world has been - falteringly and much too slowly! - coming together to act on climate change, Australia has quadrupled it exported climate harm from selling coal and gas! This is a deeply unserious country. Full report here: fossilfueltreaty.org/exporting-harm
Chart comparing the burden of Australia's exported fossil fuels and it's domestic greenhouse gas emissions. in 1990, exported fossil fuels resulted in around half the amount of greenhouse gas produced domestically. Due to a massive scale up of exports, and a slight contraction in domestic emissions, the situation has now completely reversed, with exports being more than double domestic emissions.
