30 years COP - do your job!

The Global Reforestation Organization Directory provides data on more than 125 major tree-planting orgs so that donors can find groups matching their priorities. The directory shows which orgs publicly discuss using scientific best practices, avoiding common mistakes and monitoring their results.

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand. If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers. If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers. Spread the word.

"The effect of the right’s psychological warfare has been to make the BBC confuse genuine impartiality with the appearance of balance. At its worst, this produces a neurotic both-sidesism that is not just bland but untruthful." With the BBC under siege, there are parallels and warnings for the ABC.

"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

Just the hugest congrats to @greenpeace.no - who've had their historic win against three massive oil fields confirmed in a court of appeal y'day 100,000 will die early if the fossil fuels in these fields are dug up and burned -->> www.greenpeace.org/norway/nyhet...

This episode combines my own evolution of understanding with the overarching narrative of The Great Simplification, speaking to what it means to be human in a dichotomous era of abundance and depletion, of numbness and awakening.

What passes for "analysis" of climate policy by today's ABC: - all politics, little policy - an alleged expose of the "conundrum" in Liberals' position, when NONE of it makes any sense - no mention of the role of powerful vested interests like the fossil fuel lobby, Gina Rinehart, Advance... #auspol

Technological progress will not protect humans from the effects of overshoot "Flooding and geological disasters damaged 364,400 hectares of crops in China in October, as an unseasonably rainy month.. $3.50 billion in direct..loss" h/t @serenaribena.bsky.social www.thestandard.com.hk/china-news/a...

I think it is ironic that OT says that “300k” have died from “ these drugs”. The man is an idiot. They want to take health insurance away from millions, they don’t care about starving Americans,& they certainly have not talked about why people are overdosing on these kinds of drugs. 1/2 #venezuela

So with the US seemingly about to launch a Special Military Operation in Latin America, has anyone asked our government their position on this? Is intel from Pine Gap being used for any of these drone strikes? Are we condemning the murders at sea? Or calling for calm? #auspol

Tailed leek orchid (Prasophyllum appendiculatum) near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. Only found the two plants out here this year which may have been a result of a dry spring - or me only having a quick look a week or so earlier than I usually drop by ;) #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The Australia-based BHP, which is also listed on the London Stock Exchange, said in a statement that it intended to appeal against the decision and would continue to defend against the UK group action.

As governments meet for COP30 in Brazil, the debate about the continuance of fossil fuels as a worldwide energy source threatens the very heart of the Paris Agreement. New from me in @thesaturdaypaper.com.au.

“While welcoming the bills as achieving “80% of the aspirations” of a consultative group formed during the review process, Samuel said the government’s proposed national interest exemption could lead to the abuse of the power vested in the minister.” 80%?! Nope. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

'The implications here are worth considering. News Corp, a foreign-owned media company, now has a direct stake in framing the Australian housing narrative and influencing policy, while profiting through its property platform from listings, data, and its own mortgages.'

I invite folk to take action with the current government that is acting to damage our environment and remove community consultation requirements - right in front of us - because unlike the LNP - Albanese ALP is IN GOVERNMENT. Here is a summary:

The Government of Iceland declared that the danger of the Amoc ocean current system collapsing poses a national security risk and existential threat. This is the first time a climate phenomenon has been formally brought before the Icelandic National Security Council as a possible existential threat

@albomp.bsky.social spruiked 'no one left behind', but clearly he meant corporate donors bc he has left everyone else in poverty, which is a policy choice by him. I dislike this hypocritic more and more. His 'small target political approach' was really a cover for cowardice and spinelessness.
