Over the last month, we have seen heatwaves and wildfires across Europe. One of the many stories that stuck with me deeply was an interview with a mortician in France, talking about their morgues overflowing because there were so many excess heat deaths.
They are still trying to deal with the aftermath of the glacial collapse in Tibet and Nepal, counting the dead and trying to find any survivors. We have many students here who will have lost friends or family.
What a time to run an event in which objections to a massive new fossil fuel project is framed as merely "emotional", and as ignoring the science, thanks Curtin! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/curtin-corner-why-the-browse-lng-project-is-indispensable-to-australia-tickets-1999995195468
The science is clear. We desperately need to stop putting out new climate pollution, and every fraction of a degree of warming we save makes a difference.
Of course, areas with Curtin are welcome to host what they want. But not without criticism.
We do not have to simply nod and smile politely while people justify burning the world down.

Decline in dugong population prompts calls for action in Gulf of Carpentaria
By Jane BardonFishing industry and Indigenous community leaders in Australia's north are calling for further investigation into why dugong numbers appear to have declined by 50 per cent in the Gulf of Carpentaria, and what can be done to stop it.

Thank god Burnham has changed his mind about drilling more oil fields ….thank god we have all of those new data centres and are burning through fossil fuels to feed them. Otherwise we might be in trouble

I didn't always realize this but "A plant based food system is the biggest way to combat climate change and deforestation" is malthusianism transposed onto human supremacy.
What is the difference between "livestock eat the majority of crops and drink a lot of water" and "There are too many humans the most effective solution to climate change is to have less mouths to feed and less energy demand"
For a while I excused this because I saw depopulation as an unavoidable consequence of market shifts, after all I'm not advocating they be killed its the farmers who would see them as an un-recouped investment and would have them killed
But this is just endorsement with extra steps, there is no way to say that water and land usage are a benefit of a plant based diet without it being human supremacist.
Yes I know I'm inviting the overpopulation antivegan argument but I'm at the point where I'm like "our species has made this ethical bed now we need to lie in it and bear the cost of caring for the population of moral patients we've created"
I recognize that with the way the world is atm the farmers will kill the livestock they don't sell. But I act to prefigure the world I want to create not to compromise with the one that already exists.

Analysis of tree growth since 1902 of over 4,100 trees from the Northern Hemisphere, matched to precipitation, temperature, and vapor pressure deficit records, was used to forecast 30-year growth based on CMIP6 climate predictions. Predicted growth varied spatially, but the net effect was negative: most losses were rarely reversed, and many gains were only temporary. Warming and atmospheric oxygen demand drive the changes.

A #Virginia school district pioneers #solar and battery #microgrids
#RoanokeVA City Public Schools is building the state’s first solar-plus-storage systems to keep emergency shelters going during #ExtremeWeather and cut down on costs.
By Elizabeth Ouzts
8 September 2026"As #ClimateChange intensifies, communities around the country are looking for ways to better prepare for extreme weather, from ice storms to heat waves. In Roanoke, Virginia, nestled in the #BlueRidgeMountains, that starts with the schools.
"For years, the Roanoke City Public Schools district has been installing #SolarPanels to lower electricity bills, minimize its carbon footprint, and teach students about clean tech. Now, the district is set to be the first in the state to invest in storage, with a solar-and-battery-powered microgrid at each of its two high schools, which double as official #DisasterShelters.
" 'They’ll run on the battery until such time as it’s discharged,' said Jeff Shawver, senior director of school plants for Roanoke City Public Schools. 'Then the diesel generators are cut on. Then, the next day, the sun comes up, and you start charging the battery again. It just keeps the cycle going.'
"Due to be installed by the end of the year, the storage systems will be among just a handful of batteries at school buildings around the country, according to #Generation180 , a national nonprofit headquartered up the interstate in Charlottesville. The dearth of #SustainableMicrogrids at schools is problematic in the wake of natural disaster, since they account for 60% of all FEMA-designated relief shelters in Virginia and half of those nationwide.
" 'Schools are also the hubs where citizens vote, where groups gather, and now increasingly where neighbors need to huddle or seek shelter during emergencies,' said Tish Tablan, senior program director at the nonprofit and a former teacher. 'So they’re just critical parts of our communities.'
"The microgrid is funded partially by a grant from the state’s Department of Emergency Management and a donation from commercial solar installer Secure Solar Futures. 'The grant has been around for a few years,' Tablan said. 'They are the first to utilize it for a solar microgrid instead of diesel.' "
