"I do feel like what we’re doing now, what Oilfield Witness is doing, is making a difference.” Still, for Wilson, the ultimate goal isn’t tighter methane rules—it’s an end to the age of combustion itself. “We have to stop burning things. We just don’t need to burn things for energy anymore.”

“We stand at a crossroads, poisoned by the air of a false reality. For decades, a carefully crafted narrative has been pumped into our collective consciousness, one that prioritises profit over people and the planet.” theaimn.net/from-failing...

If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Thank god, a corrective to the mealymouth good bloke/bit of a rascal shit as Kate McClymont lays out the trail of corruption to & from Graham Richardson. No way does he deserve a state funeral. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies My latest column on @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

Economic Complexity Index (ECI) is a holistic measure of the knowledge/productive capabilities of a country. ECI indicates a lot about long term prosperity and resilience. Here’s how Australia is trending compared with our Asian neighbours. 1/2 #StopJustExportingRocks #auspol

The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

The US has announced its revised list of critical minerals. Via Exec Order uranium and metallurgical coal have been added. Unclear whether this change impacts the recent AUS US critical minerals deal/agreement/compact. AUS list does not currently include either.

Professor David Michaels was quoted this week in Bloomberg Law: “Advisory committees are invaluable to the functioning of government agencies." The article discusses the rapid pace at which the Trump Administration has been eliminating Expert advisory panels. 🔗 news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Today the 2025 State of the Cryosphere report was published by over 50 leading cryosphere scientists. An urgent warning about the global consequences of the meltdown of ice, including the risk of shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC. 🌊 iccinet.org/statecryo25/

Dr Oz: "One little tip -- if you see someone whose knees are beginning to buckle and their eyes are going back, don't watch what happens. These folks will actually get hurt worse by the fall than by dealing with the underlying condition. So give the person a bear hug, guide them to the floor gently"

The WA gov spent $400k on a report from scandal ridden Deloitte to say gas exports are good for the climate. But even Deloitte (who let’s face it would say almost anything they are paid to) were like.. um.. yeh… maybe not… So the government buried the report and just kept saying it anyway.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Vice Admiral Mead, head of the Australian Submarine Agency, to retire next year. Another #AUKUS architect to depart before the project turns turtle. #auspol

The guy's a mob boss. That's his ethic, that's his personality, that's his value system.

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

Trump: "I'd like to see one day voting. I'd like to see not 65 days of voting from all over the place. I'd like to clean up the elections."

Q: Do you have a statement on Nancy Pelosi's retirement? TRUMP: I think she's an evil woman. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

The rotten fruit is starting to drop from the $368B #AUKUS tree. Against the backdrop of @albomp.bsky.social’s choice to spend so much money on a single future capability (that likely won’t arrive), other ‘now’ defence capabilities are suffering. Reckless strategy in tense times 🤦‍♂️. #auspol

Hey Bill Gates : Are you familiar with the logical fallacy known as "false dilemma"?

"In total, the Gates Foundation (formerly known as the The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) has donated $3,519,491 to Lomborg’s think tank. The most recent tax filing on record includes a 2022 donation to the Copenhagen Consensus Center worth $1.25 million" - @rtakver.bsky.social, @desmog.com

Gee, who knew? - Exports of Oz gas carry “substantial risks” of slowing the move to cleaner energy in Asian countries. - Contradicts govts' claims that the industry helps cut global emissions. - WA's ⬆️ GHG largely from gas burnt to liquefy for export; WA emits more carbon pollution now than in 2005.

Someone needs to make a supercut of "doubles down after saying wrong word" Trump clips, because this is the best one yet. Fascinating artifact of whatever cocktail of personality disorders he has.
