Australian researchers have linked a single fossil fuel project to climate impacts, modelling that Woodside's Scarborough project will cause 484 heat-related deaths in Europe.

For the first time, scientists can show the impact of gas project emissions

Fossil fuel companies and governments argue it's not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.

For those who support the use of AI detectors, by all means feel free to attempt a response. But please don't say "I care about my students" or I care about academic integrity" because neither of those things can be true if you believe in the efficacy of detectors. Shocking,I know, but there you are
