Bruce Robertson, independent energy analyst, exposes the hypocrisies and lobbying taking place at COP28 and how talk of investing in a green transition is belied by increasing fossil fuel subsidies worldwide. He explains how the industry employs terms such as net zero and carbon capture and storage (CCS) to appease social opinion and pretend that emissions are being cut, while CCS technology has largely been a failure.

“Australian”, spelled “Australien” in French, I believe, is a noun meaning a man from Australia. In lower case, “australien” or “australienne” is an adjective, as in la politique australienne. I shall guess that the person doing the sub-titles is a Canadian from Québec, a québécois, accustomed to using the French spellings, “Australien” and “australien”.
Juice spells it that way as a joke.
