Emissions on the rise from Australia's largest climate polluters, data shows

Australian Conservation Foundation report shows a 3.2% jump in emissions by the country's biggest polluters despite Coalition's climate target claims

Australia's biggest climate polluters increased their emissions in the year to July 2015, according to the latest data from Australia's Clean Energy Regulator.

Some of those companies have themselves called for stronger government policy to curb emissions, including calls from AGL for the government to mandate that the oldest or dirtiest coal-fired power stations should be shut.
