Yet green activists attack it just because the fossil fuel industry is one participant in the market.”\n\nThe Climate Change Auth­ority is also weeks from finalising its advice on an upgraded 2035 emissions-­reduction target.\n\nMore than 100 companies had already left Climate Active in the past 18 months. The program offers certificates to those engaged in carbon abatement, and allows users to purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions with the aim of hitting net-zero targets.\n\nMr Kavonic said green activists are effectively campaigning against planting trees.\n\n“And Labor is allowing these activists to influence policy. Australia is now pursuing a delusional mix of policies that will result in economic and environmental decline: reduce coal and gas investment while also making it harder to build the needed grid infrastructure to roll out renewables, alongside making it harder to generate carbon offsets to keep manufacturing going amid rising safeguard mechanism obligations,” Mr Kavonic said.",
