Your periodic reminder that climate change means levels of migration will increase sharply in the coming years and we either find an effective and humane way to manage that or we invite ever more chaos and suffering.

A big move in the right direction by world leaders. See CSSN Director @timmonsroberts.bsky.social quoted in @earthjournalism.bsky.social: earthjournalism.net/stories/coun...

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

“Institute of Public Affairs’ appearance Senate inquiry on information integrity climate & energy 12/11/25 devolved into combative, fiery replay of Australia’s old climate wars. Self-congratulation for helping to kill the Coalition’s commitment to net zero.” reneweconomy.com.au/dead-man-wal....

Really interesting article on the massive geopolitical shifts inherent in decarbonisation as the US vacates the field. Meanwhile the LNP busy abandoning net zero which would deny Australians being a constructive participant in the transition. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #climatechange #auspol

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

“It takes a heroic effort to make Scott Morrison look credible on climate change, but somehow Ley has managed it. The decision made this week will be the defining embarrassment of her leadership” A Faustian pact with the fossil fuel industry. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/22072/...

Whilst it’s easy to scoff at this, I think sadly we are in for The Voice 2.0 on climate science denial. Watch as Advance, CPAC and the IPA swing their money behind a mendacious campaign to derail the energy transition. This will be an ethical test for corporate Australia to hold firm. #auspol

The premier needs to give the police new powers to *checks notes* actually use the powers they already have, to prevent the kind of protest that took place on Sunday.

"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..." China's oil demand is entering structural decline.

A milestone in India: in the electricity sector, non-fossil capacity (renewables, hydro, nuclear) is now larger than fossil capacity.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

A smart centre-right party could take the battle to Labor on climate, and push for real action, not more figleaves, writes Bernard Keane.

"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

I’m sorry, what ? Kind of as if there isn’t a sufficiently compelling use case to attract private $$.

It's funny the right is pretending Zohran's some frothing maniac when in reality it's far worse for them: he's got Obama level charisma

New York has elected a mayor that ran on a platform of putting people ahead of corporate interests and billionaires. It should not be surprising to see that this is a popular message, but for some people (*cough - Labor*) it seems a foreign concept.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

As will Australians of the same demographics - a whole generation understandably fed up with not being able to afford a house, AI coming for their jobs, inequitable taxation and climate denialism. Neoliberalism and the two party system have had their day. #auspol

Giving this one another run, since it's rainbow bee-eater season again. We only see them here during the warmer months. This one performed an unorthodox landing 😄

Today we learned of a shocking amendment to the income apportionment bill that involves police in social security decisions. We're joining the call for Labor to abandon police powers to stop Centrelink payments. Why is @amyremeikis.bsky.social is the only one in the press gallery covering this?

A billionaire who thought we shouldn't give the poor free COVID vaccines, and hung out with Epstein, wrote some weird, vague stuff about how climate change "isn't that bad" and now the media is covering that rather than a record climate fueled hurricane. The age of oligarchy sure is exhausting.

Video of Gates fawning over Trump within that group of billionaire tech merchants looking to carve off from America as much white meat as possible does not … add weight to his *argument*.

Mind blowing levels of ignorance/arrogance here 👇 Brushes over entire populations of lower and middle income countries being displaced as their homes become unliveable. As if that has no geopolitical fall out ? Where does he suggest they go ? #climatechange www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

jamaica has never been hit by a category 5 hurricane in recorded history and someone is still going to argue that climate change is a hoax

Nailed it #auspol

28 years since Kyoto. 10 years since Paris. Humanity's response to climate change? The dog ate my homework. 🌏 ⚖️

Every time I don’t think Auspol can get any stupider, I get proven wrong. A national conversation over whether the PM should apologise for wearing a t-shirt featuring a very popular band that’s been around for decades because of its name, is stupid, stupid, even for us

Really good article. Trying to force a 20 year high performing employee back into the office and citing her “lifestyle choices” (ie. having children) smacks of ideology rather than a sensible business decision. 🦕 #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a great story. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Nothing like a little coercion.. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... "Watt says Australia risks not being able to mine for critical minerals or build more homes if the bill does not pass parliament." Australia's > 2000 threatened species and ecological communities have some questions, Minister Watt.

If generative AI was that wonderful, they wouldn't need to force it on us, make it the default, constantly harass us to use it. No truly useful tech innovation has been forced on people this hard in my lifetime. Something new and cool is invented and people fall all over themselves to try it.

All Australians should benefit from the sale of our resources - not just a few mining magnates. We must not see a repeat of what has happened with our gas exports where we’ve being essentially giving it away for free. Time to build a sovereign wealth fund. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

It's 35C just now Northern Beaches of NSW, Australia. Fires, severe winds in the State. Temp. records broken since recordings began. Who needs Halloween when the spectre of #climatechaos is already upon us? And the hell of more awaits us and future generations? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's hot & it's not direct sun as such. The air's hot, wind's hot, ground's hot. Epic bushfire risk. What will AU's Labor government do? Well, more new #FossilFuel it seems.

The new leader of the UK’s Green Party, Zack Polanski, is a phenomenal communicator. So refreshing to see a politician communicating hope and championing social justice and equality. Gives me hope. #auspol www.instagram.com/reel/DPeiG02...

A much needed voice of hope and tolerance in an increasingly toxic UK. 🙏

This is actually for real. We have just reached a new level of insanity.

1/ Last week Queensland reversed its plans to close its coal-fired coal plants The move threatens Australia's goal to more than double renewable generation by the end of the decade. Here's what the data shows about why that matters, & what impact it will have on the climate and energy policy.
