Australia would be greatly improved if Markes retired and officially became a lobbyist for US arms suppliers.

Australia will remain a vassal of the fascist U.S. and suffer terribly over coming years as a result

HISTORIC HEAT IN AUSTRALIA Climatic history is set to be rewritten with an absolutely deadly week: Today 48.5C in South Australia,47.2 New South Wales, 45.3 Queensland,45.0 Victoria ‼️We might expect 7 CONSECUTIVE DAYS >46C in New South Wales and we can't rule out 50C. A HELL

Zoe Daniel offers wise comments, showing her wonderful understanding of global matters. The old world order is over, we can no longer pretend. Goldstein's best rep ever, still doing the hard work on behalf of all Australians 🙏 #Auspol #CommunityIndependents

No doubt

A very Australian development is getting a fairly good op-ed raising awareness about rising insurance premiums from "extreme weather" but no mention of climate change or the underlying cause of this crisis.

Classic value extraction move from a company losing the innovation and brand war. Americans have less choice though. If he does this elsewhere , it’s over for Tesla (more over).

For the #sustainability of food, other factors are more decisive than whether the food is "local": #landuse, production & processing—and whether it is animal or plant-based food—are more important for GHG #emissions… (1/2) progressive--agrarwende-org.translate.goog/regionale-le...

Crops for #biofuel use up land the size of Italy—to meet just 4% of the world’s transport fuel demand. More biofuel = #deforestation & land clearance, i.e. #landuse is not free; there are #climate benefits of #rewilding it or planting #trees. Or… (1/4) www.transportenvironment.org/articles/cro...

Land isn’t free. Be interesting to see rewilding v solar v biofuel equations.

Did a quick chart of mean maximum temps in my town for the peak summer month of January, Geraldton West Oz. It’s risen over 4.5 degrees since 1880. Can this be right? I guess it shows the reality of extremes, land temps and dry hot climates. 😳

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

WA Gov't commits another 5 years of funding profits for Indian shareholders of an insolvent coal mine. A better deal than transitioning to renewables 🤔 #WAPetroState #Auspol #Renewablefuture www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The Australian Senate Select Committee on Information Integrity on Climate & Energy has published my 75pp submission on the history of fossil capital's systemic global disinformation war via the #AtlasNetwork thinktanks against climate science, policy & clean energy. www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStor...

COST: Home insurance costs are up 8.2% in one year as climate risk roils markets. That cascades into mortgage/real estate markets, so buckle up. CORRUPTION: The fossil fuel industry’s climate denial fraud has real costs to Americans, and Republicans going along with the fraud are accountable.

New study shows how extreme weather events and crop trade can reinforce each other and substantially heighten exposure for other countries This underscores the urgency of enhanced preparedness for interconnected climate risks... iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

The consensus climate model thing didn’t work out did it. Worst case warming. Lost cooling. To be continued… One of my target climate migration locations had fire and flood within days last week. #nowheretohide

“We have already seen individual years above 1.5 degrees Celsius and they have offered a preview of what is to come, with economic shocks and strains on food, water and insurance systems.” - Dr. Jesse Abrams, @gsiexeter.bsky.social #ClimateEmergency

The consensus science gig is up. Reality is accelerating warming and lost cooling. Rapid financial system collapse risks.

Kia has done the usual EV maker sabotage of their long range model. 17 inch rims on base model and 19s on the long range. Robbing at least 50kms from the range. It’s just dumb when your competitor is 750 km Model 3 - 18 inch wheels , rwd plus 500 kg lighter. thedriven.io/2026/01/19/k...

“The United States could compete on building better drones and electric vehicles if its businesses had greater access to electrical power and a vital industrial base,” writes Dan Wang.

China now generates more electricity each year than the United States and the European Union combined.

It pisses me off that the ABC embeds X posts in articles driving users to misinformation hell. Why do it?

ICE has only 300 followers and more than 90k blocks since it arrived on Bluesky:

That's Greg Bovino, US Border Patrol Commander, in the middle btw. A little too on the nose.

The study confirms the urgent need to "decisively curb the expansion of extensive cattle ranching and large-scale soy monocultures, which remain the primary drivers of Cerrado clearing and ecological degradation", and "to reclaim the very meaning of 'sustainable development'" shorturl.at/3K9Wk

Not bad @alankohler.bsky.social Misses the clear statement of fact, that AI is here to enable the oligarchs and super rich to take even more of the pie. On the upside it might be what finally destroys capitalism. Jobless people don’t sit quietly. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Remember: 26Jan has been recognised as a Day of Mourning since 1938, in recognition of the invasion, dispossession & numerous massacres by British invaders against Indigenous Australians since 1788. It has only been a public holiday as Australia Day since 1994. Facts matter. History matters. #auspol

Making these things un-turn-off-able is an extremely fundamental core component of the entire industry. It is the same reason you cannot choose between buying yoghurt with single-use plastic or without it. You cannot fabricate demand for a wasteful, harmful thing without making it mandatory

Gina Rinehart’s latest nightmare, the Belisama Gas Project. Could supply domestic gas to keep local business hooked on gas, but will no doubt end up being exported via the Burrup hub. Project open for comment! haveyoursay.dplh.wa.gov.au/belisamagasp...

The WA government is investigating if one dead tree could halt Alcoa's mining If the US miner is found to have mined too close to a large jarrah tree, it would trigger an automatic cancellation of its right to mine much of its lease. www.boilingcold.com.au/wa-governmen...

🧵 Decades of concerted, networked, well-funded effort to demonise Muslims unites the disparate factions trying to build new nationalisms around a faith identity.

Woodside's new floating production rig arrives at Scarborough gas field off Western Australia. Benefits: some employment (few post construction), plus taxes + a few royalties. Costs: excess carbon emissions, damage to 40000 yr art & removal of sea floor junk (if anyone bothers). #WAPetroState

..,in 1941 Dr Seuss could see "America First" was a slogan for Nazis: and an attempt to other and denigrate other countries. It was Nazi then and remains so today (Cartoon in PM Magazine, 1941: collections Univ. So Cal San Diego)

These Indian drivers need to get organised and make an example of some companies. He spent 10 years driving in New Zealand's freight industry, but it only took him eight months to quit Australia's because of the discrimination. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

X is a right-wing child abuse friendly silo / bubble, and there's a contingent of lefties who've been corralled into a dark corner and fenced in so they can be abused and screamed at like animals. If there are communities there you don't want to lose, it's your responsibility to help them move too

Imagine if MalinAUKUS had killed Santos sponsorship of sport instead of killing Adelaide festival …

Malinauskas: “I was happy to make it clear that the state government did not support the inclusion of Dr Abdel-Fattah on the Adelaide writers’ week program.” No pressure at all then. 🙄 #auspol

Unfortunately for Malinauskas, the internet remembers. Instagram user beccilove dug out this quote from a few years ago.
