Nearly all of Australia's 'on paper' emissions reductions come from land use.

This is largely because Aus chose 2005 as the baseline year from when 'reduction' starts. In 2005 there was very high land clearing which soon stopped.

This is counted as a huge reduction, while polluters keep polluting.
