A single #coal exploration #borehole in Queensland’s Surat Basin is #releasing hundreds of tonnes of #methane each year.

Hundreds of thousands of the boreholes have been dug over more than 100 years of mining, including by companies that no longer exist.

Experts and conservationists are calling for a full audit to determine how many holes are leaking and how much methane pollution is under-reported. #auspol #mining #ClimateCrisis

The collaborators are here to stay
In search of a home to make it their way
For the center to demonstrate
They must find a place to make it a fate
