Carly Lubicz-Zaorski uses Gina Rinehart as an example of why we need greater disclosure laws on who funds Anti Climate groups such as Advance & the IPA, after we only found out Rinehart funds the IPA bcoz it was revealed in court Michelle Ananda-Rajah “2.3 million?”😳(in 1 year) #Estimates

GOOD NEWS: Hybrid solar battery project approved in NSW despite planning objections hundreds of kilometres away. This is a pattern delaying renewables across the country, good to see it beaten here reneweconomy.com.au/biggest-sola...

The biggest solar-battery hybrid project in NSW gets planning approval from IPC after being the target of a number of long-distance objectors.

Wondering why you're coming across so much negative commentary about renewable energy and climate change lately?

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased..... ember-energy.org/latest-insig... @ember-energy.org

The South Carolina state judge whose house burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances was an explicit target of hate and threats by President Donald Trump's supporters in the days before, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

Trump has a special ability to attract the most pitiful sycophants. Like flies to dung. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The US is pursuing "energy dominance" and forcing allies to buy US oil and gas. And, yet, China is beating the US on energy exports. Surprised? Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

New poll shows majority of Australians support sanctioning Israel www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Not sure you’ve seen these images here, but in the UK they’re arresting dangerous anti genocide protestors for “supporting terrorism”. You can sleep easier knowing these thugs are off the streets.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’

“Now we need a new story, a story that connects climate & inequality, that tackles the far right by recognising we have millions of people who have been left behind. We’re being offered nothing but division & hatred. We have to provide an answer for them.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hastie is a cunning politician and it's risky to dismiss him as a crank because his views are racist. There's a good chance he will be Liberal party leader by the next election, and his white nationalism should ring alarm bells. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Butler warns about the rise of fascist, racist, homophobic, sexist behaviours and that we must work collectively not individually against this. “We must commit to saying what we want to see realised, and not just complain about what is going wrong.”

Spain's wholesale electricity prices were 32% lower than the European average in the first half of 2025 -- thanks to wind and solar reducing the influence of costly fossil fuels on prices. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), among others, have condemned Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and called on Australia to take action against Israel’s breach of international law. www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1439/ne...

China installed more than double the rest of the world's solar in 2025, and last year met its 2030 renewables goal six years early. Australia can learn from and emulate the speed and scale of its energy transition. Great piece on China's conservative emissions targets johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

Damn good to see. We could go further with offshore wind.

Flotilla organisers say the Israeli military boarded their ships in international waters, where they have the right to freedom of navigation.

"there’s nothing quite like having a conversation about climate change while you’re standing at the end of a hose in scorching heat" Badgingarra farmer and former WA Farmers president Dale Park says culture war commentators don't reflect lived experience of farmers thewest.com.au/opinion/dale...

PR firms are spreading disinformation about climate change on behalf of fossil fuel companies. Could Australia stop them? Great piece by @christiandownie.bsky.social in @aunz.theconversation.com theconversation.com/pr-firms-are...

🚨 The Sumud flotilla is under attack in international waters. The violent Israeli response, of drone and the violent naval attack, on an aid flotilla in international waters confirms the brutal illegality of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Senate inquiry told that astroturfing campaigns are inflaming divisions in communities, driving up bullying, harassment and intimidation. I've seen this in far too many communities, and it is so damaging. reneweconomy.com.au/bullying-har...

Misinformation and “astroturfing” is alive and well in energy debates in Australia, and fostering community division, as well as bullying and intimidation, inquiry hears.

Compared with what a fire at a fossil fuel facility looks like, the opposition to renewables because of claimed fire risk sometimes verges on the hysterical. In reality, a fire in a turbine nacelle is generally a rare & isolated event. australianfirefightersclimatealliance.org/2025/09/30/r...

Excellent thread on the global attack on renewable energy and campaign to entrench fossil fuels

Tony Blair’s only role in the Middle East should be as a defendant, on trial for commencing the illegal and disastrous Iraq war that destroyed millions of lives.

A UN body has confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Now we know Australia is profiting from it, absolutely shameful. Cut ties with Elbit, sanction Israel now. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The world was given ample warning that failure to hold Israel to account would lead to inevitable violence. Palestinians could not be held in perpetual occupation, apartheid and blockade. If they wanted to isolate Hamas they needed to undercut its raison d'être. We told you this.

A pleasure to appear before the Senate Committee on Information Integrity on Climate Change and Energy this afternoon, which is investigating the scale of climate misinformation and its impacts on Australian politics. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar... I made 3 key points🧵
