Everyone loves a winner, and no more so than Scott Morrison the prime minister of Australia.
The remarkable performance of Ariane Titmus, Emma Mckeon, Nicola McDermott, Paddy Mills, and Jessica Fox, to name a few, lifted the spirit of our nation.
During the 2020 (delayed until 2021) Tokyo Summer Olympics, Australia came fifth in the world with a total of 46 medals.
Scott Morrison (Scomo) said in parliament, “our magnificent athletes have delivered.”
Continuing with the winning theme, Scott Morrison in an interview with The Australian newspaper on the current COVID-19 infection rate locking down the country’s major cities, “our gold medal run to the end of year is now well under way.”
Scomo loves a winner and is up for gold every time.
However, if advanced economies with the ability to build infrastructure to lesson CO2 emissions were a race, Australia would cross the finish line just ahead of the dead-last runner Saudi Arabia.
In 2021 China emitted 6.59 tons of carbon dioxide per person. India 1.58 tons per person. Australia emits 15.83 tons per person just behind the United States at 15.53 tones per capita. Source World Population Review
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, states, global warming is expected to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030 unless something is done to decrease the current rate.
Scott Morrison has his eyes set on 2050 to reach emission targets.
If reducing global CO2 was a race, Scomo isn’t in training, but rather, still under the bed trying to find his running shoes.

I so agree with your assessment of Slomo’s lassitude in tackling climate change. To reference the satirical ‘shovel’, Scomo breaks the land speed record running away from responsibility.
