What happened
350.org is campaigning against Anthony Albanese regarding Australia's coal transfers to Turkey. The organization argues that these transfers have resulted in tens of millions of tons of emissions since the Paris Climate Accord. Additionally, a major Australian state has approved the largest expansion of coal mines in the planet's history.
