Description
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has taken to the international stage to hammer the message that Australia is "taking real action on climate change and we are getting results". In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Mr Morrison accused domestic and global critics of ignoring Australia's achievements in tackling climate change, complaining that "the facts simply don't fit the narrative they wish to project about our contribution". RMIT ABC Fact Check analysed Australia's record when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This article is our take on some of the key claims made by Mr Morrison in his speech.
