The US were hoping it would go to penalties, so they could pardon any misses

These federal energy efficiency standards are responsible for literally billions of dollars of savings, massive reductions in pollution, and are supported by manufacturers because they don't want 50 different state standards.

Heat records are getting broken. Electricity prices are soaring. The administration's response? Let's gut energy efficiency rules for appliances.

June 2026 heatwave in Europe removes Alpine glacial water for drinking, agriculture, hydropower and cooling nuclear power plants. Water is likely to become a scarce resource in Europe within 20 years. #Climaterisk #climateemergency #Anthropocene

That was the whole point of this governments unrelenting attacks on Te Tiriti & Māori/Indigenous rights. Te Tiriti is our only true protection against resource extraction for private (often foreign) exploitation. Fuck the lot of them NZ, vote them all out! #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #TaxTheRich

What happens in the oceans has huge implications for global weather patterns. Hotter oceans keep the air warmer, fueling heat waves; energize storms making them fiercer; and increase evaporation, boosting the chances of extreme rainfall and flooding. edition.cnn.com/2026/07/01/c...

Heat records in Australia earlier this year, in Europe in recent days, and now North America is poised to endure a heat dome coinciding with the July 4 long weekend. Fossil fuel pollution is making heatwaves more harsh and frequent around the globe. https://bit.ly/4oXZ535

Here's some news to warm the cockles this winter. ❄️ Incentives like this help secure a cleaner, safer future. Nice work NSW! 👏👏👏

Incorrect, we knew that the world was transitioning to renewables fast enough that new oil & LNG projects would not be needed. We know the Iran War has accelerated that transition. Which means directing public money & otherwise de-risking oil pipelines & LNG is putting high risk ON to the public.

Considering the role of gas in the gov's energy policy and the hype around gas 'shortages', AEMO's forecast of near-zero gas use for electricity out to 2035 has had very little coverage. Here's my post over on The Point blog... live.thepoint.com.au/2026/06/the-...

‘Get your dirty hands off our kids’: fossil fuel industry’s presence in schools and sports clubs sparks concern

Coal, oil and gas companies are spending tens of millions of dollars on marketing to Australian children through schools, museums, science centres, sporting clubs and scholarships, according to a new report from Comms Declare. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

France reports 109 deaths in Paris’ last 24h alone, due to extreme heat. In case you’re still, somehow, doubtful of the human extinction catastrophe, hospitals are overflowing, young people die of hyperthermia, the country is lacking in available morgues and funeral homes are booked to the brim.

Always amazed at the low value prestige institutions put on their reputation

🌡️ Heatwaves are claiming more lives. Here in Australia, heatwaves are more lethal than all other climate-fuelled disasters put together including cyclones, fires, and floods.

We know climate change is driving hotter, longer, more frequent & more deadly heatwaves, like the one unfolding in Europe. Here’s how ⬇️

Still think that there’s a booming future market for LNG? Look at how solar has crushed gas in California over the last few years. Now consider that LNG markets pay 2x-3x as much for their gas as California. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

The techbro mindset is "move fast break things". That's exactly what is happening right now with the AI Data centre rollout, and it's our energy and water systems they will break if they get their way. We need a moratorium now. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Not 2050. Today in France. Peak Temps. Every pink number is 40C+ (104F+) with many stations at 44C+ (111F+). A previously impossible heatwave, soon to be an annual tradition, only hotter. #heatwave #Europe

FFS I thought we'd moved past the ignorance of illustrating stories about deadly heatwaves with photos of people frolicking at the beach/in lakes/in fountains. Heatwaves are the deadliest agents of climate change. They kill nearly half a million people each year, and that's only going to increase.

All been said before,but the thought occurs,daily...what sort of brain-dead, fuckknuckle reckons we should aspire to live on Mars? There's no air up there, mate, or water.The human body will boil in minutes from radiation. It's -60 C and covered in toxic dust. WHAT KIND OF FK'N IDIOT ARE YOU?
