This whole thing is out of control.

A beautiful beach walk in southern Australia: But the joy quickly turns to horror when we see more and more dead animals, including dozens of freshly killed abalone. Australia’s beaches are revealing the silent devastation of marine ecosystems.

Great news. Such a pity Australia was not be a leader on this... a very great shame, in fact.

Productivity is a “materialistic view of how our lives could be better”. So true.

Owned by the fossil fuel sector. Owned by the US. I give you the modern Australian Labor Party. Could and should be so different 😞😞 #auspol

War crime.

"The NACC should be the great upholder of transparency and accountability, and by concealing the identity of those involved, they've denied us transparency and they've relieved the wrongdoers of any accountability." 5/

Any good alternatives to Lightroom? I want to get out of the Adobe ecosystem. I see people recommending Affinity Photo, but I guess that is more of a Photoshop replacement.

People will do anything to avoid reducing their meat consumption.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

Let’s not be surprised by the weaselling of Senator Wong. In a position of leadership she prevaricated on marriage equality and delayed that justice for a decade. A friend to Mathias Cormann. Essentially a politician who will say anything that’s convenient at the time, not a leader. #AusPol

"Insanity is doing the same war over and over again and expecting different results."

Of course she does, but we don’t.

Really tired of this.

The daily horrors continue 🇵🇸

We’re not going to be able to adapt fast enough. We need to slash emissions now.

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

QUICK QUESTION: What, in the name of almighty God, do the enlightened adult centrists over at the Albanese Government Inc. think they are doing here?

We're all aware that the Qld LNP has no plan to reduce the state's emissions. They think climate change is a belief system; a religion. If you believe in God he'll fix whatever problem there may be. We don't have time for this BS. You accept the science or you don't. #qldpol

60% of young people on TikTok are getting their news from influencers. Maybe I should be posting climate and sustainability commentary over there instead of here 🤔 theconversation.com/new-research...

Learning Python has been much easier than I expected. Should have started earlier.

Didn’t think we’d see another bullshit WMD excuse for a war being so easily swallowed by the worlds media. But here we are.

“A tenfold surge in rockets to launch satellites – and at least one joyride bearing Katy Perry and friends – could damage the most successful international environmental treaty in history, the global agreement to repair damage to the ozone layer.” www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Interesting to see how some countries are treating green tech as an opportunity, not just an obligation (while others continue to ignore the problem altogether). www.bangkokpost.com/sustainabili...

Vienna leads the way in housing affordability.

Thinking I might give this platform another try, but honestly I don’t even know where to start given the state of the world right now.

‘It was our hope spot’: scientists heartbroken as pristine coral gardens hit by Western Australia’s worst bleaching event Usually alive with colour and fish, Ningaloo reef and the Rowley Shoals now look as though they are ‘painted white’ as temperatures rise www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Do we really need 100+ prescribed burns at once. The air quality is atrocious. Even inside with all doors and windows closed I can smell smoke. #perth

Love reading all the commentary that the coalition lost because they’ve gone too woke. 🤣 Go ahead and move further right and into oblivion. 👏 #auspol

Bye bye 👋🏻

Sobering. When I talk to people about long-term bird population declines in N America, I mention that the main cause is habitat loss, not climate change - yet. But new research shows that climate change is causing bird declines even in otherwise pristine places. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Beetaloo would also wipe out 457 years of emissions savings from the 14 #renewables projects Macquarie Bank provided green finance for in 2024.

How about that NACC? Are we going to get to the election without them delivering a single successful corruption investigation?

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022. they had two options to arrest the decline: 1. win back trust with good governance & good policy 2. rig the system tonight they chose to rig the system. a dark day for australian democracy.

Two days after @albomp.bsky.social gifted $800M of our money to pay for US shipyard investment and jobs, the Labor Govt has refused to disclose #AUKUS cost sharing arrangements. But I guess we know what sort of deal Richard Marles got. Pity poor taxpayers. #FOI appeal lodged! #368B #auspol

Labor was voted in with the expectation they would take strong climate action. They have done nothing. Vote them out. #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/australia-fo...

“The chaotic decisions being made in rapid-fire real-time will have massive ramifications on our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change and ensure food security.” Weirdly, I have been listening to Mad World on repeat in recent weeks. www.thenutritionarchive.com/blog/2025/2/...

Using GenAI is a kind of ‘cognitive unloading’ 🫠

Exxon has decided the one thing the world needs more of is microplastics. So, amidst a fossil fuel pollution global warming crisis, it's opening a new US$8.6bn congealed oil factory in Texas: https://grist.org/accountability/exxon-plastics-plant-point-comfort-texas/

Sounds like Australian Labor. #auspol

Whether James Hansen & his team have this exactly right or not, & while there is much else of enormous significance going on, this is the biggest issue on the planet. There is no coming back from getting our response to this wrong. Ever. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Agriculture Department employees have been ordered to delete landing pages discussing climate change across agency websites and document climate change references for further review, according to an internal email obtained by POLITICO" www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

“How can we blame the Greens for this, for a decade and a half?”, asks Albanese. Vote for politicians who are not owned by billionaires and corporations. Vote independent 1. Vote Greens 1 where there’s not a decent independent. #AusPol

It's now official. January 2025 was the warmest January on record globally according to ERA5 reanalysis. Thanks humans! 🔥🔥🔥

The number of deluded comments here suggesting the Greens need to stop blocking Labor policies and supporting the LNP is pathetic. The Greens support good policy, but Labor never puts any forward. Labor stans love to make excuses for our inept and corrupt government. #auspol
