Scott Morrison loves to say that Australia is on track to "meet and beat" our emissions reduction targets, but he’s a lot quieter about where that track leads. Admittedly, saying he plans to double Australian coal exports does provide some big hints.

If all countries meet the emissions reduction targets they gave themselves in Paris,  the world will still be at least 3 degrees warmer by 2100. Globally we’ve already burned enough coal, oil and gas to heat the world by 1 degree, so if you think this summer was bad, you’ll hate the 3 degrees Morrison has us "on track" for.
