Timor-Leste just scrapped lifetime pensions for former parliamentarians after student-led protests. But sure — protest doesn’t work. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

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.

The jury is in. @albomp.bsky.social hates transparency. Loathes it! #FOI #auspol

Most of the world has recently set all-time heat records - valuable analysis from @hausfath.bsky.social to show that climate change is real and global... even it was hotter in one town 80 years ago. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/most-of-th...

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.

Non-paywalled copy of the article can be found here: michaelmann.net/wp-content/u...

The US military was a *very* early adopter of climate adaptation for a reason: they rightly recognized it as a threat multiplier for national security.

Hydro TAS full of confidence that there’s nothing to see here regarding the earthquake associated with the Lake Edgar reverse thrust fault line. In spite of Edgar and ScottsPeak dams being high risk, they were quick to say ‘no damage’. Reality is the dams should be decommissioned.

Very very important @oxfaminternational.bsky.social report on what needs to change to make the energy transition just and equitable www.oxfamfrance.org/app/uploads/...

Anyway, here is some actually incredible news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's particularly acute in Oslo, and in certain parts of Oslo - probably because of congestion charges which are much higher for petrol cars

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

The headlines should be, but won't be: "Trump embarrasses himself and the US in incoherent, rambling, shameful speech at the UN"

Trump spreading fossil fuel propaganda lies at the UN - what an embarrassing president for the US.

Trump's UN speech was one of his most unfiltered and extended climate denial riffs ever, full of falsehoods, lies and distortions. “I’m really good at predicting things...I don’t say that in a braggadocios way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.” www.eenews.net/articles/con...

The 1950s "red scare" is so back.

"On Friday, a hard-fought global treaty to protect the “cornucopia of biodiversity” living there cleared a final hurdle and will become international law...The High Seas Treaty allows for the establishment of enormous conservation zones in international waters." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c...

National Academies of Science panel finds that: The EPA was right in 2009 (when it found that climate change driven by society’s emissions of greenhouse gases are endangering human health & lives), and that everything we've learned since has only made it more right. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

When CCA sets a ‘climate target range’ and Albo aims for the bottom of that range, I do not want to hear one single MP or eNGO who campaigned on climate action promoting compromise. ‘Just pass it’, ‘floor not ceiling’, small steps is failure. Will only ever be weakened, not strengthened.

Larissa Waters: If Labor fails to set a science-based climate target then it’s crystal clear: they have utterly prioritised coal and gas profits at the expense of community safety and nature.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just three days after approving an extension of one of the largest fossil fuel export projects in the world, the North West Shelf, the National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia. #auspol Media release:

Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export project is a disaster on five fronts: 🟠 Driving up WA energy prices 🟠 Threatening WA's domestic gas reserves 🟠 Paying even fewer royalties - down to just 0.6% of WA revenue in 2027-28 🟠 Corroding Murujuga rock art 🟠 Wrecking the climate Read:

"We have yet to see a cloud provider release the actual energy or water consumption in a way that we can verify independently," says one European transparency advocate.
