Vale Jon Kudelka ❤️ An extremely talented cartoonist and author who tirelessly campaigned for action on climate change. The Climate Council sends its condolences to Jon's loved ones.

Popped to the shop with the little dog to get a couple of pears. Didn’t have a bag, so took a doggy poo bag off the lead and popped the pears in there. Heading home met another dog walker, who looked at our pear stuffed poo bag with something between fear and awe.

More than 50 heat records were broken across Australia in the last week of January, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. This is climate change, and it can be lethal.

Well... this adds up As many Australians reel from another week of record-breaking heat, it’s worth remembering what's driving the worsening extreme weather we're experiencing: climate pollution from burning coal, oil and gas. @jessharwoodart.bsky.social simplifies it for us perfectly.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Victoria has officially recorded its hottest temperature ever in the town of Hopetoun in the state's north west. At 4.04pm this afternoon, Hopetoun's temperature soared to 48.9ºC, beating the previous record of 48.8ºC in the same town during the Black Saturday bushfires. This is climate change.

Sad but sadly inevitable news on #biodiversity www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Fast forward six years #roses #dogsofbsky #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever

Bit more of this. #auspol

The algal bloom off South Australia’s coast is a devastating consequence of climate change. We need stronger emissions targets, real investment in environmental science, and leadership that matches the urgency of this crisis. #Cop31 #Auspol #NetZero #75by35

Absolutely devastating, things like this can't really be modeled, we are now truly in uncharted waters. Look after yourselves, do what you love and be with who you love. Control what you can, involve yourself in your community and help if you're able. #climate #auspol

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?

New Juice Media Honest Govt Ad just dropped - and it's great for sharing with friends, family etc. Take a look #auspol > youtu.be/zXHq04W0kBs?...

OMG, I've got #Insiders on Mute & they just trotted out Bridget McKenzie🤦 FFS, could it get any less 'expert'? Does my head in. Independent Journalism gets NIL funding & yet it craps all over ABC & MSM for relevance. No wonder so many ppl are ill informed & tuning out politics. #auspol #SundayShot

I’m here on the Reef today - snorkelling off Cairns - and it’s looking very poor #auspol

Peter Dutton says he wants to keep Australians safe — but won’t confirm if he accepts climate change is escalating. Our security agencies are clear: climate change is a major threat. Denial is not leadership — it puts lives and our future at risk. #AusPol #ClimateAction

So Dutton is an actual climate denier, last night running standard tropes: "I'm not a scientist but...", and yet somehow also, "the science is uncertain" (paraphrased). Why isn't this the biggest story of the day; of the campaign?

One of the unexpected bonuses of running in this election is getting to meet people like Bec, a regenerative agriculture farmer. A big thanks to Bec and neighbour Nick for taking time to take me around the farm and sharing your knowledge, stories, and vision.

Mr Dutton’s responses on climate change in last night’s leaders’ debate, along with a string of climate damaging policies, reveal the Coalition is out of touch on a major issue affecting voters’ lives. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25 www.acf.org.au/denying-clim...
