For many years Abbot Point has been a small-time coal exporter, but now its original terminal is well on the way to a 50 million ton capacity, and five new terminals are to be built. The terminals will be owned by BHP Billiton, AP-X, Indian companies Adani and GVK, and Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal. This expansion brings export capacity to more than 400 million tonnes, converting the world-heritage listed Great Barrier Reef into the world’s biggest coal terminal, and doubling Australia’s carbon emissions over the coming decade. The reef will not survive its conversion to a coal-export superhighway.overourdeadbodies.net/blog/kari-mcgregor-why-im-hunger-striking-for-the-climate/
