The Northern Territory is the heaviest emitter of CO2 per capita in the world and the Beetaloo Basin LNG project will only make it worse

Per capita when the population is low, the area is large and the number of emitters is relatively high is a bit of a statistics trick though.
The emissions are not from the population themselves so it’s an irrelevant number, if the population goes down the per capita emissions will go up. you could say a million people moved to the NT and the emissions would plummet.
It does seem a bit of clickbaity way to present the data. Thankfully most people here seem to have read past the headline.
