  1. Judges Rule Trump Can’t Just Make Up An Emergency to Keep Coal Plant Open

    Donald Trump’s administration loves declaring arbitrary emergencies to justify pretty much every part of its agenda, from immigration…

  2. Australia must double down to meet our climate targets. Our new study shows how

    * "Australia is also one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel exporters, producing roughly 4.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions."

    "Yet, the Albanese government has approved 37 new, expanded or extended fossil fuel projects since coming to power. It has 42 more in the pipeline for approval."

    "This goes directly against the International Court of Justice which, in its 2025 advisory opinion on climate change, found licensing new fossil fuel projects can constitute an “internationally wrongful act". We already have a pathway to keep global warming below 1.5°C. What’s missing is the political will to take it." >>

  3. Ocean surface temperatures hit record high as world enters 'uncharted territory,' scientists warn

    by Chantal Da Silva
    July 1, 2026

    "Temperatures on the #ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global #ClimateCrisis.

    "Two separate services under the European Union’s #CopernicusEarth observation program — the Copernicus #ClimateChange Service and the Copernicus Marine Service — announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures.

    "Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Copernicus Climate Change Service, warned that the rising temperatures could mark the 'beginning of a new phase.'

    " 'With OceanTemperatures at these levels and #ElNiño on the horizon, we are likely to see more temperature records fall in the coming months,' Buontempo said in a statement Wednesday. El Niño is a naturally occurring climate cycle that sees the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual for months at a time.

    "The world could be heading into 'uncharted territory,' Buontempo warned.

    "According to Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service, global ocean temperatures outside the polar regions hit record levels on June 21, surpassing levels for the time of the year observed in both 2023 and 2024.

    "The Copernicus Climate Change Service said temperatures reached 20.86 degrees Celsius, or 69.54 degrees Fahrenheit, that day, climbing above the 20.83 degrees Celsius, or 69.49 degrees Fahrenheit observed in 2023 and 2024.

    "The Copernicus Marine Service meanwhile recorded temperatures at 21 degrees Celsius, or 69.8 Fahrenheit, beating previous records from 2023 and 2024 by 0.1 degree Celsius.

    " 'It’s consistent with what we’ve known for a long time — that the planet is warming because we’re emitting vast quantities of #GreenhouseGasses, primarily from #FossilFuel burning, into the atmosphere and that’s stifling the ability of the planet to lose its heat to space,' Richard Allan, a professor of climate science at the University of Reading in the U.K., said in a phone interview."

  4. If further proof is needed (for those diehard who still believe the far-right SMR dream) #JohnQuiggin has reviewed the nuclear powerplant playing field to deliver his prognosis:

    “Looking at the world as a whole, the first half of 2026 has seen
    * two (2) new reactors connected to the grid, both in China
    * three (3) construction projects reaching first nuclear concrete, all in China
    * zero (0) new final investment decisions outside China
    * one (1) new/revised export contract, probably just symbolic, between Rosatom and Uzbekistan

    Generously assuming a 4:1 capacity ratio, the two new reactors would be equivalent to around 8 GW of firmed solar. That’s what China installs every week or so, and the world as a whole every four or five days.

    In summary, nuclear power isn’t a vital source of energy, obstructed by politics. Outside China, it’s a zombie, animated by political imperatives. In China, it’s an afterthought, running far behind solar and wind, as well as (regrettably) new coal and gas, and about level with new hydro.”

    Sit tight folks, #Renewables are winning the fight — if not fast enough for comfort — and will continue to do so until we beat the #FossilFuel and #NuclearPowerGeneration industries.

  5. The Details Behind US President Trump’s Primetime Speech

    Since February 28, the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran has been heavily decimated by the joint US-Israel military operations. To date, almost all of Iran’s senior leadership were eliminated, their navy and air force have been devastated, their military/industrial/government sites have been struck, and their new so-called supreme leader could not even show himself physically to his people. While it is still able to launch missiles at different states in the Middle East, Iran has been weakened dramatically and its wicked regime is clearly down on its knees.

    Since the beginning, it was made clear that the joint operations were to bring down the Islamic terrorist regime, disarm it and pave the way for the oppressed Iranians to take their country back. The Trump administration made it clear the operations won’t be a “forever war” nor would it follow what the administration of past US President George W. Bush did during and after the invasion of Iraq. US President Trump just delivered a primetime speech to give the public a clear view about the direction America is taking right now regarding the weakened Iran. Beyond the fighting, what happened has been shaping the future of the Middle East as we know it.

    To begin with, posted below is the primetime speech of President Trump. Watch it entirely and pay attention closely.

    https://www.youtube.com/live/OzhLRPZfOMQ?si=7P6W-ATCitH6kqNf&t=551

    To put things in perspective, posted below is are details from Trump’s speech via the White House announcement. Some parts in boldface…

    Here are the top moments from the address:

    • “As we speak this evening, it has been just one month since the United States military began Operation Epic Fury targeting the world’s number one state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our Armed Forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield — victories like few people have ever seen before. Tonight, Iran’s navy is GONE. Their air force is in ruins. Their leaders, most of them — the terrorist regime they led — are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core is being decimated as we speak. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed and their weapons, factories, and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces — very few of them left. Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks.” (Watch)
    • “From the very first day I announced my campaign for President in 2015, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This fanatical regime has been chanting ‘Death to America, ‘Death to Israel,’ for 47 years. Their proxies were behind the murder of 241 Americans in the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our servicemembers with roadside bombs, they were involved in the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, and they’ve carried out countless other heinous acts… For these terrorists to have nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat. The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest, and mass murder from behind a nuclear shield. I will never let that happen.” (Watch)
    • “I did many things during my two terms in office to stop the quest for nuclear weapons by Iran… First, and perhaps most importantly, I killed General Qasem Soleimani in my first term… And then, very importantly, I terminated Barack Hussein Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal… Essentially, I did what no other President was willing to do. They made mistakes and I am correcting them.” (Watch)
    • My first preference was always the path of diplomacy — yet, the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons and rejected every attempt at an agreement. For this reason, in June, I ordered a strike on Iran’s key nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer… The regime then sought to rebuild their nuclear program at a totally different location, making clear they had no intention of abandoning their pursuit of nuclear weapons… For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons — but in the end, those are just words if you’re not willing to take action when the time comes.” (Watch)
    • “As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury, our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically dismantling the regime’s ability to threaten America or project power outside their borders… Our Armed Forces have been extraordinary. There’s ever been anything like it militarily — everyone is talking about it — and tonight, I am pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion. As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran… Now, we must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives.” (Watch)
    • “Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home… This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons. They will use them and they will use them quickly. It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain, and instability worse than we can ever imagine. The United States has never been better prepared economically to confront this threat.” (Watch)
    • To those countries that can’t get fuel — many of which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, we had to do it ourselves — I have a suggestion. Number one, buy oil from the United States of America; we have plenty. We have so much. And Number two, build up some delayed courage… Go to the Strait and just take it. Protect it. Use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done.” (Watch)
    • “I have made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we’ve made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly — very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing… We have all the cards; they have none.” (Watch)

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Which part of Trump’s speech did you find the most compelling or most interesting? Can you imagine the Middle East being free from the armed threat of Iran? Do you think the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran will get penalized by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other states for the Iranian missiles and drones that hit them? Do you feel confident that the price of oil will go down this month?

  6. Netanyahu Says Rerouting Pipes To The Mediterranean Is The Only Long-Term Solution For Hormuz Crisis

    As the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran made passage through the Strait of Hormuz tremendously difficult, tremendous economic disruptions connected with oil shipments negatively impacted economies around the world. For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the only long-term solution to the Hormuz crisis is the rerouting of pipes westward across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, according to a news report by The Jerusalem Post.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Jerusalem Post. Some parts in boldface…

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said that a long-term solution to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz would include the construction of pipelines that would carry the Gulf state’s oil and gas to the Mediterranean.

    Long-term solutions include rerouting energy pipelines westward, across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and Mediterranean, bypassing Iran’s geographic choke point,” Netanyahu explained in an interview with conservative US media outlet Newsmax.

    Currently, the Strait is one of the main chokepoints in the energy market, with 20% of global oil exports passing through it.

    While Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman have territorial waters in the Strait, the presence of Iran on the other side of Hormuz has made it vulnerable, with the Islamic regime having the capabilities of threatening global energy markets by attacking ships that go through the Strait.

    This has been Iran’s main strategy during the current war, alongside its missile attacks towards Israel and the Gulf States. Netanyahu noted that, while a military solution might offer short-term stability, a deal that eliminates the strategic importance of the Strait might be the best route long-term.

    ‘Beyond halfway point’: Netanyahu avoids giving precise end date to war – Netanyahu also said in the interview with Newsmax that the war with Iran is “beyond its halfway point,” although he avoided giving a precise end date for the war.

    “We’re beyond the halfway point in terms of mission success,” Netanyahu said, adding that the IDF’s current focus is on destroying the remaining nuclear capabilities of the Iranian regime.

    “We’ve already degraded their missile capabilities, destroyed factories, and eliminated key nuclear scientists,” he explained, warning that Iran is “pursuing nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to American cities. That’s what this war is about, preventing that outcome.”

    Netanyahu also pointed out that the regime was able to attack the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, with this being Iran’s longest strike and a demonstration that their missiles could reach almost any country in the region, including most of Europe.

    It wasn’t an intercontinental missile, but it’s getting there, about 4,000 km. That puts much of Europe within range,” Netanyahu pointed out.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu about rerouting pipes westward to the Mediterranean as the main solution to the choke point of the Strait of Hormuz?

  8. Thousands of US #hazardous sites are at risk of #flooding because of #SeaLevelRise, study finds

    By DORANY PINEDA, November 20, 2025

    Excerpt: "The study’s researchers started by identifying and classifying tens of thousands of hazardous sites near the coasts of Puerto Rico and the 23 states with coastline. Next, they wanted to know each site’s projected future flood risk. They did this by calculating how likely each year coastal flooding could inundate a site using historical sea level measurements and projected sea level rise in 2050 and 2100 under low and high emissions scenarios. Lastly, they identified and classified communities as being at-risk if homes are located within 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) of a hazardous site with a high threat of future flooding, and compared those communities’ characteristics with other Fcoastal neighborhoods with no at-risk sites nearby.

    "But researchers did not include all types of hazardous facilities, such as oil and gas #pipelines, nor did they account for #GroundwaterUpwelling or more intense and frequent storms in the future, which could lead to underestimates. On the other end, the flood-risk model they used could have overestimated the number of threatened sites.

    " 'It is important to note that previous disasters, such as #hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Harvey, did result in a lot of #ToxicContamination from oil and gas pipelines,' Chandler said.

    "The 5,500 at-risk sites includes 44% that are #FossilFuel ports and terminals, 30% power plants, 24% #refineries and 22% coastal #SewageTreatment facilities. Most of the sites — nearly 80% — are in #Louisiana, #Florida, #NewJersey, #Texas, #California, #NewYork and #Massachusetts."

    Too many #politicians forget that they are elected public servants. That means, their job is to serve us, the public, not corporate lobbyists. If they're not guilty of selling out the public for their own corporate lobbyists & political benefits - they'd not be so damn scared of full public transparency.

  14. The deadly 3,000kg car bloat trend

    Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier

    "Also in recent years, Australia has spectacularly failed at its mission of bringing down road deaths and serious injuries. Speed – and their proclivity to be driven faster – and overall height make larger vehicles far more likely to kill or cause serious injury when hitting pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and smaller cars."

    "Newstead warns how this mentality can lead to an arms race to larger cars for those wanting to bolster their own safety. Crucially, if a driver can’t make eye contact with a pedestrians, “they are going to drive as though they aren’t there”"

  16. #LAWildfires:

    I smell a rat somewhere! 🤨 😠

    The #farright uses people's inculcated 'biases'; LYING abt local/state govt officials bc of identity/identities.

    IMO, I'd urge everyone to be on the watch for #corporatemedia idiots who pseudolib-wash far right narratives and dogwhistle bigoted bullshit.

    A mayor giving $$ to pigs 🐷 🐷 :acab: & cutting money to the #LAFD is a bad decision. There are many knobhead politicians from all identities all over the world who chummy-up to pigs 🐷.

    Also #fossilfuel, #climatechange #capitalism collectively play a role (see #DemocracyNow last week about LA fires).

    So many knobs to choose from but here's one: #Partygate during the #COVID crisis. Last I checked, #BoorishJohnson was not from a marginalised group.

    So, the 'rat' , to me, is the #rightwing/#extremeright repeating their bigotry over and over, hoping to have an effect on the psyche of the public which they hope result in support for #racist #sexist & #antiLGBTQIAplus far right policies, laws, etc.

    It's the right who kvetched abt taxes, immigrants & being 'replaced', 'welfare queens', etc. which brainwashed voters (of various backgrounds).
