2/2
Sometimes it is fitting to compromise & accept second or third best in order to bank progress and build to the next policy ask.
#politics #australia
Other times it is necessary to reject policies that set a precedent & take us backwards, or that foreclose substantive action.
#climatechange
The Improved Native Forest Management (INFM) method is in the latter category. It sets a dangerous national precedent that extends far beyond the Great Koala National Park.
#nature #trees
No state government will ever again protect nature unless the polluters pay, and in turn the area protected will be managed to maximise carbon, not natural values.The devil in the detail:
the definition of plantations in the INFM opens the door to more logging in Tasmania, not less.https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/d7d57d4d-e702-4ff8-9435-a12ec9db8d42/AqwOJWl

Two perspectives
1/2 first
“concessions that the Greens secured were meaningful, decreasing the amount of logging that could occur outside the park boundaries & enshrining the commitment of NSW Labor not to sell the credits to fossil fuel companies in federal law.
#nature #trees #climatechange #australia
Labor admitted for the first time that coal & gas should be treated differently, turn off the tap for the coal & gas industry.’”

August joint hottest month on record as #climatechange and #ElNiño drive heat
August was hottest month ever recorded, tying with July 2023, according to EU's #climate service.
Driven by a combination of climate change and rising influence of El Niño, pushing heat into atmosphere across the Pacific.
Temperatures for month were 1.65C above pre-industrial levels - surpassing the critical 1.5C threshold agreed by countries to avoid the worst consequences of climate change.

As anecdotal evidence, after recent exchanges with somewhat exasperated colleagues (note: the fields I'm referring to here are not #mathematics, but mainly #ComputationalModelling, e.g. in #EarthSciences, #ecology, #ClimateChange, ... or just simply their #PeerReview !)- There seems to be a growing prevalence of those who claim that it is obsolete (usual "left-behind syndrome"?) to do scientific/technical work without depending more and more on #generativeAI (allegedly without upper limits)

@pluralistic
"The reality is that we are going to have full employment for the next 500 years because we're gone have to move all the coastal cities .."Sounds more like first of all we are going to have to deal with a lot of fascists that will try to save their own skin instead of caring for the well being of all of humanity.

Fast-forward and upscale this exact cocktail through four centuries—the cartesian split, the explosion of the scientific method and the immense cost of introspection—and you arrive at the exact reality we are forced to deal with today. 🌱

The main stumbling block to #revolution that keeps us tied to this death machine system seems to be: "I won't have a house, I won't have #food" if we opt out.
People are afraid of what revolution could mean.
We need to work on food security & shared housing, growing food & making a system where you can find a place to shelter easily. Fastfrwrd is focusing on assisting people with rewards for gardening and building reputation to share houses.

Carbon Brief fact-checks Reform’s climate nonsense.
This is a really useful resource for those of you who debate with Reform supporters, either online or when out campaigning in the community. It lists 45 commonly used statements by Reform campaigners about climate change and then details why they are completely unfounded or misleading.
Campaigner Jon Fuller said of the briefing, “This is a very valuable reference. It does raise the question as to how they have got away with such dangerous falsehoods for so long, and why they have never been fully challenged. We should demand that all BBC journalists read this and thoroughly cross-examine all anti-net-zero politicians using this information.”
Time and again, Reform poliiticians are not challenged by the media when they make statements such as “Net Stupid Zero”. This briefing will help interviewers with the facts needed to challenge their unscientific beliefs.
I would add the same for local journalists and broadcasters. It is vital for the survival of our species that people are properly informed about the urgency of tackling the climate and nature emergencies.
A good example is Reform’s constant claim that scrapping net zero will cut energy bills. Here is Carbon Brief’s response.
Farage: “Perhaps the real unfairness of net-zero policies…has been the impact on domestic bills, something about which there has been an absolute wall of silence.”
Press conference, February 2025
By far the biggest driver of increases in domestic energy bills in recent years has been the rising cost of gas, not “net-zero policies”.
Gas prices have been trending upwards since the mid-2000s, long before the UK even had a net-zero target. Initially, this was due to dwindling supplies in Europe – including the North Sea – as well as more global competition for gas.
Gas prices then surged in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and cut off supplies to Europe. This year, war in the Middle East has once again sent gas prices soaring.
Most of the energy bill increases in recent years have been the result of wholesale gas costs rising due to these successive global crises.
There are some parts of domestic energy bills that could be described as “net-zero policies” – notably, the subsidies or “green levies” to support both old and new renewable energy.
However, these are not the drivers of recent price rises and are a much smaller component of a domestic energy bill than wholesale gas costs. (In addition, a chunk of policy costs have recently been moved off bills into general taxation.)
Moreover, the renewables they support have helped to curb the UK’s reliance on imported gas, saving the nation money.
Finally, the idea that this issue has faced a “wall of silence” is simply not true.
Energy bills and net-zero have been endlessly debated by politicians, commentators and the media. A pledge to cut energy bills was one of the central pillars of the Labour government’s election manifesto in 2024.”
Please take the time to read the article and share it with your contacts in the media. Use it to help you challenge Reform supporters on your local newspaper’s letter page or radio phone-in programme.

How ironic that our farming sector benefits from meat and milk prices buoyed by Aotearoa’s emissions trading scheme, while refusing to include its methane and nitrous oxide emissions in the scheme. #nzpol #climatechange

#RyanHall #CAwx #ClimateChange #ElNino
From Ryan Hall Y’all on FB: The ocean off Baja has never been this warm.
85 degrees on Monday, in water that should be 70 this time of year.
45 years of satellite records. The old record was 81.
That water is why Los Angeles felt like 108 on Wednesday. Warm ocean, more humidity, and Marie pulled it all north.
It was still 84 on Wednesday, the latest reading.
We are watching it.

The consequences of heating are accelerating.
Yeah, I’m going to say to the communities that take action to ensure they can provide for themselves in the face of the global economy being disrupted at scale and for however, long are gonna be the ones that do better just like the communities who improve their self-sufficiency did better over Covid

Another win to celebrate.
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sided with the states and the groups, saying there was no real emergency under the law.
"The section of the Federal Power Act that allows emergency orders “is essentially a narrow, last-resort backstop,” Appeals Court Judge Cornelia Pillard wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel."
