NSW approves biggest-ever coal mine expansion
Original: # NSW # Australia NSW approves biggest-ever coal mine expansion, paves the way for 800 million tonnes of pollution https
New South Wales has approved what is described as the state's biggest-ever coal mine expansion, a decision the Climate Council says could lead to around 800 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate advocates are criticising the approval, arguing it directly conflicts with emissions reduction goals, while the project underscores ongoing tensions between coal industry interests and climate policy in Australia.
Why now: The approval of a major new coal project in Australia is drawing strong criticism from climate groups amid concerns over its enormous emissions.
