Amid squabbles, bombast and competing interests, what can Cop30 achieve? - by @fionaharvey.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Me (no byline) with one of my favourite, albeit saddest Queensland stories. Would really love an extra few thousand words to do full justice to it while the main players are still around to tell the tale. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Bob Brown on Graham Richardson. Probably pointless to say given some stuff in my feed, but a reminder that people are invariably more complicated than described in skeets/posts/whatever.

Bob Brown at 80: a walk to a waterfall, a pulmonary embolism, a book, some chat about what's coming. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Environment minister could approve projects at odds with nature laws under Labor overhaul www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The clear air column ran in the Saturday politics slot this week. It’s partly on politics and partly on what we know about whether the new environment protection bill will, you know, protect the environment www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I could be proven wrong, but my hopeful view remains that voters don't like being told crap. And Tasmanian Labor's ongoing claim that the state has a Liberal-Greens government is transparently not true, and I reckon most people know it.

Unauthorised earthworks and land clearing by a cement company in northern Tasmania has damaged the known habitat of endangered freshwater crayfish and snails, smothering creek beds with silt. #politas tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/cement-...

‘So tiny and so vulnerable’: what chance will one of Australia’s smallest birds have against a rocket launchpad? by @lisacox.bsky.social #birdoftheyear #birds www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Change is coming, question is how fast. Value of Australia’s coal and gas exports could plunge 50% in five years, treasury modelling forecasts www.theguardian.com/business/202...

amid the noise and news, this piece was beautiful today www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thought before a busy arvo - 2035 target matters (frames policy ambition, is an investment signal) but will mean little to most people - and doesn't ultimately decide what emissions will be. There is no ETS. What matters most are the policies/steps/etc needed to deliver transformational change.

This is a direct result of EU's carbon tariffs. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good Media Watch @lintonbesser.bsky.social

Amazing chutzpah in TheOz media diary today, calling the Guardian a “niche news site”. Guardian @australia.theguardian.com has an audience more than 2x TheOz & that’s been the case for pretty much the entirety of the last 10yrs. Not to mention the Guardian's the 5th biggest news website in the world

‘Tip of the methane iceberg’: 130,000 coal boreholes must be audited after toxic leaks in Queensland, experts say

Top 5 stories on Guardian Aus this morn are environment and climate related. To mark this occasion, a thread.

Decision to close Meanjin criticised as act of ‘utter cultural vandalism’ www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

ABC news angle: The Business Council warns a 2035 emissions reduction target of 70+% could lead to loss of $100+m in exports. But... they're fossil fuel exports. A problem. We're committed to losing - and replacing - them. BCA supports this, right? Q is when. Benefits of action? Not modelled.

A column on a target www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Genuinely shocked to read this paragraph in The Australian today, as a take on yesterday's racist, anti-immigrant marches.

Writing about national climate targets and views on what’s possible and what’s necessary and reading this at the same time and the two are connected but not connected and… anyway, read this www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More cormorants and a fur seal have died in #salmon pens that were meant to prevent the entry of wildlife. The deaths have sparked calls to cancel Tassal's 'green tick' for salmon from its West of Wedge lease. Bob Burton has the details. #politas #auspol ▶️ tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/adult-s...
