Billionaires and lobbyists have seized control of our national narrative theage.com.au/national/billi… 'Nobody thinks the challenge of meeting our moment will be easy. But despair is simply not an option – it’s just another form of submission to a rotten story that’s doing us no good.'

CO2 levels of 354ppm

Oasis are trending. What else from the '90s should make a comeback?

Just listened to Angus Taylor talking nukes on RN. He can't answer the cost question or time frame issue. And skated over the social license issue & right of communities to say no.

Voices of the Valley was formed during the 2014 Hazelwood brown coal mine fire. It burned for 45 days, leaving 70,000 poisoned and 13 dead. President @WendyFarmer_ told us how the community feels about the Coalition's plan.

Global warming close to 1.5°C begs the question what will happen to the #ParisAgreement 1.5°C goal. Some have declared it deader than a doornail. I suggest a contrasting view: 1.5°C will never die My opinion @ProSyn Your reflections are very welcome project-syndicate.org/commentary/amb…

Calling it like it is. “It’s We the Peoples versus the polluters and the profiteers,” he said. “Together, we can win. But it’s time for leaders to decide whose side they’re on.” theguardian.com/environment/ar…


theguardian.com/commentisfree/… "Reduce emissions, build resilience, repair ecosystems, remove greenhouse gases: these are the four Rs that can save us." Wise advice from David King, chair of the global Climate Crisis Advisory Group.

Researchers identify an almost universal global demand for intensified political action. Across the globe, 89% of respondents state that their national government should do more to fight global warming nature.com/articles/s4155…

Yup. They got exactly what they wanted. Nicely gift-wrapped in greenwash. The FT headline today reveals the cold reality behind the spin.

Scientist Bill Hare on COP28 deal: "Overall, the text looks like a major victory for the oil and gas producing countries and fossil fuel exporters.” The major problems with the text are: ⁠ ⁠- no commitment to phase out fossil fuels - no commitment to peak emissions by 2025…

How to arrest a 97yo climate protector at the #PeoplesBlockade? Very carefully and to a heroes welcome! If charged, Reverend Alan Stuart will be the oldest person ever charged in Australia 😲 "I think it is my duty to do what I can and to stand up for what I know is right.”

I'm of the view that this piece from James Hansen and 17 others last week is one of the most important published on the state of the climate crisis in years. A 🧵

As the Aus Govt tries to tell the UN Climate Ambition Summit how much action it's taking on climate change, back home they're opening new gas & coal mines. We called it out via open letter in @nytimes signed by 220+ scientists & experts urging Aus to stop new fossil fuel #auspol


John Wiseman Reposted

Big thanks to the 220+ scientists and experts who signed this open letter, which continues to make a splash 🔥🔥🔥 #auspol "A massive full-page advertisement in the New York Times has been taken out to slam Australia and it doesn’t pull any punches" news.com.au/finance/busine…
