“The main news story in the double-page spread ran under the headline “Only gas can save us now”. It warned that “households face being plunged into darkness – while paying even more for power – without action on Australia’s gas shortage”.”

“Instead, they were sold a lie – that the story was straight news coverage, in some cases described as an “exclusive” or a “special report”, on how (in the words of the Courier-Mail) Australia must “step on the gas” as it was the “only way to avoid higher bills, blackouts”.”

“Readers led to believe a short-on-facts advertorial exhorting government to let companies extract more gas is straight news coverage”.

We now know from Prof Bob Howarth’s work at Cornell that fossil gas is the most climate damaging of all the fossil fuels and that LNG exporting is the most climate damaging of any human behaviour. Gas is literally killing the biosphere. Our persistence in using it is absurd and very wrong.
