西澳大利亚州修改了德勤公司天然气报告,淡化气候风险,增加净零索赔,引发了对透明度和准确性的批评。 Western Australia altered a Deloitte gas report to downplay climate risks and boost net zero claims, sparking criticism over transparency and accuracy.

西澳大利亚州政府因据称改变德洛伊特公司关于天然气去碳化的报告以降低气候风险和支持其净零要求而受到审查。 Western Australia’s government is under scrutiny for allegedly altering a Deloitte report on gas decarbonisation to downplay climate risks and support its net zero claims. 最初的2024年草案警告说,天然气可能会阻碍去碳化和预计亚洲需求的增加,但2025年最后版本消除了关键风险,声称的天然气需求将增加一倍,并建议出口将比全球平均水平晚几十年达到峰值。 The original 2024 draft warned that gas could hinder decarbonisation and projected rising Asian demand, but the final 2025 version removed key risks, claimed gas demand would double, and suggested exports would peak decades later than global averages. 包括环境倡导者在内的批评者称这些变化具有误导性和政治动机,认为天然气燃烧不分地点都助长了全球排放。 Critics, including environmental advocates, called the changes misleading and politically motivated, arguing that gas combustion contributes to global emissions regardless of location. 报告将公开发布推迟至2025年11月, 且缺乏解释, The report’s delayed public release until November 2025 and lack of explanation have further fueled concerns about transparency in energy policy.
