We talked to Kara Robinson from the company the
South Pole to discuss environmental policy and break down some of
the common terms we hear and describe what it means for
emissions. 

For example, some of the questions we asked were:



Companies such as New Forests have committed to becoming
carbon-neutral businesses under a new climate action plan. Rio
Tinto has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to
net-zero by 2050 and BHP last year confirmed its own net-zero
target. What does this mean? 


Is carbon offsetting the answer? What role does offsetting
play in reducing carbon emissions?


What is your opinion of the Scope 3 Bill? What does this
Bill say about the NSW government's motives towards combating
climate change?
