Used to do a lot of these type of posts on my old blog. Always a joy when the media releases quote don’t really reflect what was actually said… thepoint.com.au/news/251206-...

How weird…one minute we are supposed to have a gas shortage (hint: we didn’t) and now we are going to let AI data centres build new gas fired electricity generators to ensure they have enough electricity… Its as if everything the government says about gas is BS #climate

This is so disgraceful, on so many fronts. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... “The custodians were not aware of what they had signed, and were alarmed by the letter’s denial of their concerns about cultural heritage,” Wonderful investigative journalism by @lisacox.bsky.social, again!

Farmers’ control over their seeds is under threat. 🌱 This week is the global week of action against UPOV, the law that can stop farmers from saving and sharing seeds.

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Senator Mark Kelly: “You do not execute survivors who are clinging onto a side of a ship.”

This is utterly outrageous by the Group of Eight unis, and deeply insulting and undermining for environment and climate experts trying their hardest to achieve a more sustainable future for society. Shameful stuff.

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

"Albanese once argued for a climate trigger in our environment law, but now downplays the climate impacts which flow from the flood of his govt's coal and gas approvals." Problem with a fossil-fueled opposition is that it allows the fossil-fueled government to get away with environmental murder.

Oh geez, Ferguson has destroyed her with the question on how can renewables be increasing the cost of electricity when gas is the driver of the marginal cost #abc730

"while climate change remains among the top three most important issues to young voters [..] fewer than a quarter (24%) have faith in the nation’s political leaders to come up with policies for real action on climate change, down from 34% last year" they have the measure of Labor & the LNP

Forty-one aid organizations accuse Israel of 'arbitrarily' rejecting aid shipments into famine-struck Gaza.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Speaker Johnson says it's fine for Trump to post videos depicting him dropping feces on peaceful protesters because he's making a point, but not OK for Americans to peacefully protest him. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

BREAKING: Analysts are calling this the biggest protest in American history. It’s far bigger than any rally Donald Trump has ever had. This is Boston. Rallies just like this are happening in cities big and small all around the country. Let’s go.

As Californians take to the streets today to stand up against the President’s authoritarian playbook, I urge everyone to stay safe and demonstrate peacefully. Don’t give in to his provocations. Our strength is in our unity and peace.

Temperature Check is really back - 2nd in a week. Were you, like Gina Rinehart, under the misapprehension that hospitals will be forced to shut for most of the year because they have emitted too much CO2? Allow @readfearn.bsky.social to set you right.

One from me. A conservation group known for its anti-renewables stance used AI to help them with more than 100 submissions. They pointed to papers, organizations and a wind farm that didn’t exist. They also admitted they used AI to help them answer my questions. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An anti-renewables group made submissions naming non-existent government authorities and a nonexistent windfarm, and citing scientific articles that the supposed publisher says don’t exist, a Guardian Australia investigation has found. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament in the final three sitting weeks” Just contemplate that sentence. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It doesn't matter if you don't believe in climate change. Your insurer does. The more extreme climate events and disasters that occur around the world – the higher Australian insurance premiums will be. It's why we're calling for compensation levy on gas & coal exports > theaus.in/fossilfuelco...
