Wow. The US Energy Department has withdrawn its scam climate report and disbanded its „Climate Working Group“ in order to dodge a law suit against the scam. They must have realized that this scam report by a few „climate skeptics“ is indefensible nonsense. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

"After three years in politics, I’ve seen lobbyists from gambling and fossil-fuel industries stroll into ministers’ offices, while community groups struggle to get a meeting," writes David Pocock. "So how do we change this?" satpa.pe/EYTrTJ9

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.

Former Prime Minister of Estonia Mart Laar: “If the war in Ukraine does not end with the complete destruction of Russia and a new Nuremberg trial, a predator that has tasted blood will be left to roam freely in the forest.” #StandWithUkraine

. National Productivity Commissioner, Danielle Wood: "A single national carbon price would be the most efficient & lowest cost way to reduce emissions, particularly if it had bipartisan support to ensure its longevity”, exposing the LNP’s climate position. Journos, go put the heat on the LNP. #NPC

“Not releasing the National Climate Risk Assessment before setting a 2035 target is like heading out on a road trip without a map, without knowing what hazards are ahead.” - Senator David Pocock @davidpocock.bsky.social #auspol

Just an honest labor statistician collecting the data, crunching the numbers, and reporting them fairly, and definitely not an extremist ideologue with an axe to grind, unshackled from respect for the law or political norms.

Postcard from Israel (27 May 2025) Jillian Segal pops up as Aust rep at Foreign Mins'/IHRA Conf on Combating Antisemitism. Strange no mention in Aust media..nor by Aus govt. Netanyahu, Herzog and Sa'ar spoke at conf. At least the 4th os trip for extra Special Envoy Segal.

It's almost like Western policies and pronouncements in relation to Palestine are nothing more than fucking racist. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

Motherfucking wind farms…

This is excellent

. Barnaby et al have climate denial running through their veins. EVERYONE knows the LNP blatently ignored the scientific advice and fought hard against any real and urgent climate change action for well over a DECADE now. Liberals, time to decide to dump the dinosaurs! #auspol

Nice post on the long march of electrification from @kingsmillbond.bsky.social, @daanwalt3r.bsky.social, @sambutl3r.bsky.social. Lots of interesting charts! ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

. Hey Blue Sky team (@bsky.app). We desperately need a location filter function to narrow what we view to our country/region/local areas. There is so much American/Trump related material that it swamps everything making the platform useless you just want to binge the US. 🙏

CommBank’s $10M CEO backs a wealth tax over income tax. Housing reform too. Murdoch press buried it. Business lobby’s panicking quietly. We broke it down on The West Report. Watch here: youtu.be/EoBTNZOKw4w Support: patreon.com/thewestreport

Most climate denial falls into one of five general categories: It’s not real It’s not us It’s not bad We can’t fix it It’s too late Conspiracy theories about secret experiments have been around for decades and they fall solidly into category 2 above: “it’s not us, it’s THEM” For more, watch:

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

Just a reminder going forward... (cartoon from 2003)

Murray-Darling Plan has achieved five of seven economic goals but only 2 of 12 environmental ones. Will climate change be good or bad for the economy? Nations’ current emissions reduction policies unlikely to keep global warming under 2oC. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

It's so strange! This is a site I love, showing where Australia and the rest of the world fit in terms of distance from the equator. It's a real eye opener. You think of the south of NZ's South Island as close to the pole, but it really isn't, comparatively. www.happylogic.online/australias-l...

So the aluminium smelter that the PM used to justify the Woodside NW Gas project needs billions in public subsidies to stay open…heres an idea. we can save billions in subsidies & not extend the Woodside gas project. Hint: aluminium is moving to world locations with low emissions electricity

Uh, folks... I think we know why Trump is freaking out today on Truth Social. Not sure how I missed this when it came out.

Okay then. "In fact, Deutsche Bank warned there’s a buyer’s strike among foreign investors, who are no longer willing to finance massive U.S. fiscal and trade deficits." #EconSky fortune.com/2025/05/31/u...

Successive govts have failed to ensure 🇦🇺 gas benefits Australians. The re-elected Albanese Govt risks doing the same. There's enough uncontracted gas to fix the projected shortfall. What’s missing is the guts to stand up to the gas industry. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

The War Memorial isn’t preserving history, it’s burying it. Secret evidence, secret witnesses, secret reasons. All to hide Australia’s shame in East Timor. So much for transparency. The first casualty of this war, was the truth. #auspol #EastTimor #FOI

Here's the latest comparison of global surface temperature observations (red) with IPCC climate model simulations (through March 2025, via @hausfath.bsky.social):

Hate to break it to you Bridget McKenzie but out of the 9 million people living in rural Australia only 600k voted for the Nats...but hey you do you 🙄 #auspol

Wow, this was an election that just keeps on giving. Now it’s blown up the Coalition. Albo must have got the Pope to use his divine contacts. John Walsh, Watsonia @theage letters

Massive congratulations to @parentsforclimate.bsky.social for launching the legal action against EnergyAustralia and securing a landmark result: an apology for greenwashing and a commitment to direct emission reduction. Well done to Equity Generation Lawyers as well. Have a read:

. Thought I’d run my own AI query on which LNP policy positions lead to their election downfall. 1. Nuclear Energy Policy 2. Public Sector Job Cuts 3. Gender Equity & Representation 4. Climate & Energy Policies 5. Tax & Cost of Living Measures Blind Freddy …. #Insiders #auspol

Despite the endorsements of all News Corp mastheads and the AFR, the Coalition suffered a major defeat. “This research shows that Australia’s major media outlets have little influence over how Australians actually vote," said report co-author @skyelark.bsky.social. #auspol

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

Native vegetation returns in abundance to Victoria's Barmah National Park in an "amazing" rebound an ecologist says has never been witnessed before.

So, even though the overwhelming number of Australian's in the majority of State and territories delivered the LNP with a historic and humiliating annihilation of coalition seats, people still say the LNP is too left wing. Sorry, but WTF? #auspol
