They care and they've proved it! A local climate action group has just announced that Brit will dump insurance and has committed to "never insure Adani s Carmichael coal mine. What s more, they have committed to not renew insurance for Adani s rail line!"
Described in Rolling Stone as 'may be the most insane energy project on the planet' the mine would drive massive industrial port expansion along the Great Barrier Reef coastline. Over a million cubic metres of the seafloor would be dredged for a new coal terminal, threatening the habitat of vulnerable dugongs and turtles and dolphins. There would be hundreds more coal ships ploughing through the Great Barrier Reef s waters every year. Just one accident, one mistake or one spill could result in an environmental catastrophe in the Great Barrier Reef.
Congratulations Brit. Your stand is a legacy that Brit and the people who work for you can be very proud of. The Reef belongs to the world, not a country. (Come and see it!)
