Prime Minister Morrison said on Wednesday that if the world is to properly deal with climate change, then China needs to address carbon emissions.
He said that the greenhouse effect is stateless and the world will be affected.
According to the Paris Agreement signed by the countries, Beijing is not obliged to start reducing emissions by 2030.
According to statistics, Australia’s carbon emissions account for 1.3% of the world’s total, while China’s 27%.
When the skynews show host told Prime Minister Morrison that China is a developing country, it has carbon emission immunity.
Prime Minister Morrison replied that the immunity is for economic development or environmental protection?
He said that the environmental impact of emissions from one part of the world has the same impact as emissions from other parts of the world.
If it is about reducing carbon emissions, then we need to reduce carbon emissions on a global scale.
The Prime Minister told Sky News reporters on Monday night that China and other developing countries need to do more to deal with climate change.
