Climate activist shareholder groups have slammed Commonwealth Bank’s new fossil fuel targets for failing to rule out lending for oil and gas extraction projects, according to a story from today's Melbourne Age by Simone Fox Koob.

Her story - "‘Smoke and mirrors’: CBA climate lending targets under fire" - helps us understand how the climate crisis will never be resolved using existing economic tools.

A second story from The Age by Laura Chung and Nick O'Malley is headed: "As big as two Harbour bridges: The giant wind farms you’ll see from the coast".
