But apparently, there's not enough money for increased pay/funding for teachers, nurses, carers, education, science and research, environment and conservation, the arts...is that right, @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social? We see you. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

Honestly, the idea that the market that has utterly pummeled the environment is now going to magically be its saviour, is equal parts idiotic and insulting. Many governments, including Australia, can and should massively increase environmental and conservation spending, it's an *investment*.

1/2 Yes, Coal Australia does highly deceptive astroturfing like this. The lobby group is also a funding source for right-wing, Atlas Network-aligned think tanks and advocacy groups [such Advance and IPA], often acting to oppose #ClimateAction. For more on this, follow @lucyham.bsky.social.

Australia’s coalmine emissions are increasing. Is this how a major policy to cut climate pollution is meant to work?

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state. The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

Breaking: RBC and Scotiabank ditch their interim 2030 financed emissions reduction targets for their most polluting clients including oil and gas, utilities and automative. Scotiabank goes further by also abandoning its commitment to reach net zero financed emissions by 2050. #greensky #cdnpoli 🧵

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

Great thread, but as a man over 50, I'd be remiss not to point out that lots of us in this demographic are ALSO among LLMs' resisters, critics, opponents, and antagonists.

Greta Thunberg is right.

If attacking Pope Leo online then posting an AI generated picture of himself as Jesus doesn’t convince you that the president has zero respect for Christianity, after all that has happened up to now, I can safely say you do not care about the truth.

Fortescue says ditching fossil fuels is a "no-brainer." So why aren't other companies rushing to follow? reneweconomy.com.au/fortescue-sa...

Every nuclear power plant is a potential military target—with catastrophic consequences if struck. Radiation release, long-term contamination, and mass displacement aren’t hypothetical. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.

"All in all, the use of ChatGPT for scientific purposes, in my honest opinion, clashes with core scientific integrity principles such as honesty, scrupulousness, transparency, responsibility, and independence. Therefore, I need to decline this invitation to review."

The government of Israel is Godless.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Kind of gross to realise that the Aus government only now cares about Israel's ongoing genocide because it affects the economy.

It's my honest opinion that Bibi is out of control and could do with some regime change.
