  1. Labor has approved a whopping 37 toxic fossil fuel climate-wrecking projects! And again Wong refuses to answer the questions..

    "Last week, the Albanese Government approved another fossil fuel project. An extension to a coal mine in Queensland.

    On the very same day, the UN issued its first prediction that the world will not be able to constrain global warming to 1.5 degrees.

    Yet the Minister can't answer a simple question about the number of new coal and gas projects that have been approved by Labor since they came to government in May 2022.

    Labor must explain to the Australian people - who are waking up to bushfire warnings today and preparing for a deadly summer ahead - why they are continuing to put the corporate profits of the big polluters ahead of the safety of people and nature."

  2. Weather patterns are more severe thanks to #ClimateChange. This means that storms like hurricanes / cyclones don't need to make landfall to have a devastating impact. They can be far offshore and still bring gusty winds, high surf, and torrential rainfall.

    The most severe sea level rise models said that 60 ft (18 m) is possible within 75 years. I drew a 60 ft elevation line around #Hawaii and teared up - so much may be lost. Please do what you can to lessen your carbon footprint.

  3. One would think that the Cincinnati pitcher wouldn’t be sweating in this miserable weather.

  4. Hypothesis: #Liberals gaining #Conservative voters but also losing some of their own to the #NDP due to things like #ClimateChange etc. Overall so far a small net gain for LPC, big gain for NDP, big loss for CPC

    Otherwise where does that NDP +7% come from?

  5. But that +7 comes from somewhere & you're right it's unlikely they come directly from the Cons.

    Hypothesis: #Liberals gaining #Conservative voters but also losing some of their own to the #NDP due to things like #ClimateChange etc. Overall a small net gain for Ls, big gain for Ns, big loss for Cs

  6. Largest gains BY FAR going to the #NDP

    I'd be curious to know how much of their 7 point gains are due to disenfranchised #ClimateChange voters like me

  8. @XRebellionAus

    Wong is desperate to avoid cause and effect getting into the public discourse around fossil fuels and climate change related disasters.

    Australia has some super-massive climate-change bushfires coming (IMO) and Wong and Albanese do not want to be standing there saying, "We knew this was coming but we needed to sell all that gas and coal and look it's only 5000 Australians that we've killed this time."

  9. I had this letter in the Newcastle Herald the other day. I tried to keep my sarcasm light!

    Renewables will get the job done

    Carl Stevenson again shares his selective critique of renewables ("Electric offers peace of mind", Letters, 1/9).
    It's almost as if he himself is a renewable resource. But as usual he ignores so many facts that his argument goes flat.
    While Mr Stevenson has apparently discovered that solar panels work only in daylight (hence their name), wind turbines work whenever the wind is blowing, day or night. The several pumped hydro plants being built typically supply clean energy for 12 hours at a time. He at least acknowledges the existence of batteries, both domestic and grid scale, which provide stored power during the evening peak, but he downplays them.
    He probably does know that during late night and early hours, demand on the grid is slashed because we are tucked up in bed with the lights and TVs off, so we don't need full baseload. Sure there will be occasional times when renewables run out of puff, which is why the experts recommend gas peaker generators that can be quickly switched on and off, like the one we have at Kurri Kurri. Not a lump of coal in sight. A near-renewable grid is entirely feasible and, despite the squawking of the three right-wing parties, is cheaper than digging up and burning fossil fuels or a slow build of nuclear at taxpayers' expense. #auspol #Renewables #climatechange

  10. Why should I give a fuck about a courier aircraft running off a runway when millions of people are (again) going without food, potable water, or appropriate shelter today, and the planet remains on track for a major extinction event?

    Fuck the news business.

    And fuck all you cheap fascist bootlickers who don't want to pay for essential shared services.

  11. 🐶 NEW: Five #bushdog pups born at #England’s #Chester #Zoo recently emerged from their den as part of a European breeding program safeguarding the near-threatened species.

    Keepers note their chirping vocalizations resemble #birdsong. Head of #mammals Mark Brayshaw explains that #climatechange, #habitat loss, and #disease transfer increasingly threaten wild populations, and that by the time a species is #endangered it often faces a genetic bottleneck.

  12. While I love that #National's ideological bias has crashed headfirst into reality, let's not forget that even the targets they've hit are bullshit:
    Less people in emergency housing ≠ people housed, meeting climate targets ≠ doing enough about '#ClimateChange', less people taking up elective surgery ≠ a well run #HealthSystem

  13. "The “great food transformation” called for by EAT-Lancet 2.0 demands radical changes to how we produce, supply, retail, acquire, prepare, and consume food."
