1/ "Australians really care about the landscapes they live in, & abt the precious places they will never visit, but want protected anyway. They just need a govt that cares as much as they do.[..] I will be guided by 3 essential goals. To protect, to restore, & to manage Australia’s environment."

Hi @scienceau.bsky.social, perhaps the Science Meets Parliament gala dinner Pauline Hanson's so fond of can spotlight fossil fascism, to enable scientists to educate themselves critically about One Nation, racism & fossil fascism❓(backgrd next post) Not just provide photo ops for One Nation reps

My good friend and colleague @yungenchee.bsky.social and I penned an Op Ed for @australia.theguardian.com about @australianlabor.bsky.social's failure to deliver on their promise to voters of 'ending environmental neglect' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Promoters of this war said it was about liberating the Iranian people from tyranny to bring them freedom & democracy. Now that they got their war it’s about bombing them “back to the Stone Age”, stealing their oil & blowing up their bridges & power plants. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/us-troops-...

This amazing photo was taken by Commander Reid Wiseman on Artemis II. What a lot of folks don't realize is that this side of the Earth is illuminated by moonlight, not the sun. And you can see aurora on both poles. Picture was rotated 180 degrees to provide more familiar orientation.

Vale to an amazing man and legendary, brilliant cartoonist. The cartooning community is in mourning today.

The world is so much poorer for not having Jon Kudelka in it

30 times more money is spent destroying nature than protecting it www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

No worries, Poss. I get the counter argument. But I think they have an obligation to the country to position ourselves more critically than we are. I have no sense of where they stand, but it feels all in. Carney and Starmer drew lines: I have no sense our govt has even picked up the ruler.

Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump? Surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity.

Can you imagine an Australian Labor minister resigning in protest against dirty fossil fuel deals

They treat nature like it has no voice. But it does. Yours, ours, and millions more. If you believe nature deserves better than this, make sure your MP hears it loud and clear: action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/... 👈

"In the crosshairs' my arse I am sure the fossil fuel megacorps are trembling in their boots, and will no doubt immediately ditch their plans to expand operations The unvarnished truth is, COP30 WAS a total failure www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“COP30 was supposed to be the COP of truth and implementation. Unless nations reckon with the ugly truths revealed here, there will be major repercussions for multilateral climate agreements and more importantly, for the lives of communities who are on the frontlines of the climate crisis.” #COP30

What do you get when Big Gas lobbyists AEP get scandal ridden consultants EY to do “modelling” to influence the Government’s policies? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The biggest battery project in Australia is about to get bigger, with the expected addition of an eight-hour fourth stage that will take total storage to 5 GWh.

Groundbreaking research released today measures the health impacts that Woodside's Scarborough Gas Project will cause. It shows the harm to our health and the health of our environment. We cannot pretend that greenhouse gas emissions from any one fossil fuel project don't count.

Recent research shows low sea ice is changing #phytoplankton bloom timing and composition in the Southern Ocean. “Phytoplankton are the ocean’s version of the Amazon rainforest,” says ACEAS lead author Tamara Schlosser from @utas.edu.au. 🔗 Read the news article: antarctic.org.au/microscopic-...

This is a great, detailed piece of work. There is really no secret here: OpenAI fully intend to use fossil gas to power their data centres. All the crap about fusion, dyson spheres etc is misdirection. This is what they're *actually* doing: www.desmog.com/2025/10/13/o...

It’s the Murray and Albo show! Watch two gutless dickheads unnecessarily sacrifice irreplaceable rainforest and species out of sheer laziness and spite.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

ClimateAdam fact checks Trump’s UN speech, in his unique style: both enlightening and entertaining. If you don’t yet subscribe to him, consider it! youtu.be/lEEwAcQ-zpU?...

Thanks @kazcooke.bsky.social I agree , well overdue ! Been wanting to for ages!! And I’M FREE!! Xx

Great summary of current “bases” which I learnt thru this article are apparently not classed as “bases”?! What a load of bullshit, these are military targets. Especially flammable in Darwin with the fuel tanks I say laughing nervously

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall, wildlife advocate and primate expert, dies at 91 - www.reuters.com/business/env...

There’s some pretty alarming stuff happening in NSW right now with big changes to the planning laws being rushed through Parliament. The proposed amendments create major corruption risks and should be closely reviewed by ICAC. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Hard to believe anyone would call for USA to abandon the Geneva Convention. Why are we still in AUKUS? Why are we allowing a new forward deployment US base in Toowoomba? We are allied with people advocating for war crimes. @albomp.bsky.social We do not share these values.

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Carl Schmitt, the German legal theorist tapped by the Nazi's to justify Germany's slip from democracy to dictatorship. Those theories have been a roadmap for the billionaire ever since.

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.
