Story summary
  • A study links Woodside Energy's Scarborough gas project to climate impacts, estimating 484 heat deaths in Europe and 516,000 exposed to extreme heat.
  • The project is projected to emit 876 million tonnes of CO2, raising temperatures by 0.00039°C.
  • Woodside argues climate change results from cumulative emissions over time, asserting that attributing impacts to a single project oversimplifies the issue.
  • The findings may influence future fossil fuel project approvals in Australia.
