State launches consultation on five draft onshore renewable energy zones (REZs) and one “shoreline” REZ, in final call for fresh feedback from community, industry.

Nannas invite you to say no to the SANTOS gas lateral pipeline - the crucial plank of Santos’ dastardly plan to drill 850 gas wells in the precious Pilliga Forest. Visit our No Pipeline information stall @risingtideaus.bsky.social blockade we’ll help you make your submission on the spot. #Climate

Bring on the solar punk future

SunCable seems to have pivoted away from helping to push coal and gas out of power grids and instead powering big tech's persistent energy waste addiction begging you to ask: why are we doing any of this? Is it to Build More Solar Panels or is it to protect life from the threat of fossil fuels?

How can you call this a ceasefire if Israel can break it at any point with impunity? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Former PM of Tuvalu – which may become uninhabitable this century if planet-heating emissions are not constrained – said the decision showed “the non-committal of Australia to climate justice” + Pacific nations should re-evaluate relationship w/ Aus www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great piece on why politicians lie and how the media falls for it. The right have been doing this to undermine climate action for decades!

Turkey to host Cop31 climate conference after Australia drops push to hold it in Adelaide

Spending $300bn to secure $9tn in investment upgrading infrastructure across the entire economy would match the scale of the climate crisis and rebuild the economy for the 21st century. Instead of talking about opportunity we're stuck fact checking bullshit. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Our national science agency is under attack with more than 800 research & science support roles already gone & more than 300 more jobs to be cut. These cuts now surpass those delivered by the Abbott Government. Can you join me and take action? www.proudtobepublic.org.au/csiro

"It wasn’t just about trees any more, it was about identity and heritage.” Beautiful story about how Dr Katy Soapi and villages combined Indigenous knowledge with conservation science to protect the sacred island of Tetepare from logging in the Solomons. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The growth of energy cooperatives in Spain shows how communities can act on climate locally to eliminate energy poverty www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Anti-renewables group RRA slammed at Senate Inquiry for "sloppy" and "misleading" work that relied on AI and fake references reneweconomy.com.au/sloppy-misle...

Chinese and EU emissions were more or less flat in 2025 (Chinese emissions may have actually declined slightly, but its too early to know for sure: www.carbonbrief.org/...). US emissions increases drove much of the increase in global emissions in 2025.

The Liberal party has abandoned their commitment to net zero. They have caved to the deniers. As COP30 kicks off in Belém, the timing of this announcement seems out of touch, with nations from the Global South demanding strong actions from countries like Australia. www.foe.org.au/libs_abandon...

A historic day for Victoria. Australia will see its first ever treaty with Aboriginal people signed and formalised as law today. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

*Very* interesting watching the senate inquiry into information integrity today www.youtube.com/live/lPqatx_...

The IPA’s appearance before Senate inquiry on information integrity on climate and energy quickly devolved into a fiery replay of Australia’s old climate wars.

This story about drop crocs is true horror

REVEALED: A campaign that led to the axing of a large wind farm project in Central QLD was spearheaded by an anti-renewables group that used fake sources in its official submission. 90% of submissions were generated by a group which used AI to prepare its submission.

Great piece by @adammorton.bsky.social. Yet another round of Coalition infighting is serving as a convenient distraction from bigger questions about Labor's ambition on climate outside the domestic electricity sector. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scotland’s first ever wind farm has been successfully re-powered with five-times more capacity using almost half as many turbines.

Propaganda does not rely entirely on unassailable evidence and impeccable logic to discipline its targets. Neither can the response, writes Calum Matheson, an associate professor and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh.

Good to present to the Senate Inquiry into Information Integrity this morning. Bad faith actors aligned w/ fossil fuel interests are spreading anti-renewables misinformation, including under the guise of 'conservation'...This does real harm to communities and the democratic practises we all rely on

AI is undermining public consultation and is ultimately bad for democracy www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

From NOV 27 – Dec 2, the Rising Tide People’s Blockade in Muloobinba / Newcastle will take action for climate justice. As part of this event, on Sat 29th of NOV, the Paddle Out for Palestine will happen: an on-water action to oppose all coal trade with Israel. www.facebook.com/events/28266...

Latrobe valley power companies building big batteries as part of shift away from coal www.gippslandmonitor.com.au/p/latrobe-va...

Despite attempts by some to spread lies + divide communities, renewable energy remains seriously popular in regional Australia. New poll shows 70% support for renewables. But people believe support is lower than it really is. This is where we see impact of disinfo reneweconomy.com.au/listen-to-fa...

Morwell-based manufacturer BMC has traditionally fabricated parts for Latrobe Valley coal generators. Now, it's looking to a future of manufacturing equipment for Gippsland offshore wind projects like Star of the South. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

It's 2025 and the Coalition are still in a shambles over climate change. Negotiating with this rabble would only damage Labor's plan to fix Australia's nature laws. Working with greens + independents is a sensible approach that will actually get the job done. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The Wellington Aboriginal community in NSW has secured an option for a 5% equity stake in an AMPYR Australia-developed big battery. #auspol

"There are substantial risks that natural gas could crowd out investments in renewable technologies or delay the broader adoption of zero emission energy systems," the report said."

Federal Labor went to the last election with a promise to fix our broken nature laws. After years of delays, they have introduced new laws to Parliament. But they’re not good enough & will fail to protect nature. The laws must be strengthened. www.foe.org.au/strong_natur...

Australians will be getting 3 hours of free electricity a day because of how many people have installed solar - this is seriously huge considering the massive solar uptake in Australia happened while the federal government delayed action on climate www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

ANU said it would refuse to invest in controversial weapons companies...and then bought shares in Elbit systems. Shameful! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australians are generating so much solar power, many will be able to access free electricity for three hours of the day. Acting on climate is good for household budgets! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Private job agencies are an absolute rort and only exist to monitor and punish unemployed people. Abolish the lot. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Don't take your policy out in public, it's unseemly. Your policy is not your message. The *outcome* of your policy is your message - the life it will deliver for people. In other words, sell the brownie, not the recipe, like every effective marketer knows.

Great story on ABC about the campaigns of bullying and intimidation experienced by farmers hosting renewable energy. Michael McCormack's response? "I'm not going to take any responsibility. I'm sorry. I'm just not". Absolutely shameful. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
