The Northern Territory is the heaviest emitter of CO2 per capita in the world and the Beetaloo Basin LNG project will only make it worse

The entire NT has the same population as Gelong.

Sure, NT's emissions are worse than Gelong's emissions... but both are a drop in the bucket compared to the national emissions.

If NT became zero emission overnight, it would barely move the needle on global emissions. Also the way you'd do that is by reducing demand for fossil fuels elsewhere.
