The Queensland government granted leases on Sunday at the AUS $22 billion Carmichael mine, which aims to produce 60m tonnes of coal a year for shipment through the delicate, coral ecosystem to Asia. In recent months, warm waters driven by a strong El Nino and man-made emissions have caused vast tracts of the 2,300-km...

Agence France-Presse: A controversial India-backed giant coal project near Australia's Great Barrier Reef was Sunday awarded mining leases, but developer Adani said it would not commit to a final investment decision until legal challenges against it were resolved. The Queensland state government said the Aus$21.7 billion (US$16.7 billion) project to build one of the world's biggest mines was awarded three leases. "This is a major step forward for this project after extensive government and community scrutiny," Queensland...
