The Coalition denies emissions will rise if it wins the election. What do the facts say?

The debate over Australia's climate policies continues as the Coalition defends its emission cuts, claiming a 29% reduction since 2013. However, most gains were due to natural processes like deforestation rather than effective action. Meanwhile, Labor's period saw no meaningful change despite stated climate goals. Critics warn that relying solely on stats risks missing broader policy impacts and natural factors, potentially increasing emissions post-2040 if fossil fuels are promoted.
