Hugely important story from Queensland where Indigenous people are being dropped from any positions of influence. This is just the start. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

To @paulinehansonoz.bsky.social Reminder: YOUR mate, mentor & major financial backer, Gina Rinehart, has made billions & billions of dollars selling crown (the people’s) mineral resources to Chinese companies & Chinese state-owned entities. You hypocrisy is exceeded only by your stupidity #auspol👇

Today's Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature update, data care of OISST v2.1. The records continue, now at 19 consecutive new record daily highs, with the temperature on June 17th more than 0.58°C above the previous record daily high. The Climate 8-Ball has gone into its bunker.

Breaking News! y-axis alert! Nino 3.4 sea surface temperatures are now more than 3 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean, forcing an extension of the y-axis up to 3.5σ. And that line way at the bottom? That's 1988.

this is great, how did they even get the banner there www.instagram.com/p/DZrG9m2DE0j/

How did Pickering see this poseur photoshoot working out for him right now? 😬 And the framing that we should be able to disagree politely *over genocide* 🤯 PEPs are 🤬 Thanks to “Australians for Honesty in Journalism” for drawing attention to his pose/face 😏

Re the SpaceX IPO. Commsec sending us retail investors an opportunity to be bagholders and exit liquidity for this cash incinerator is perhaps a more concerning attempt at 'phishing' than those highlighted below...

China passes its agricultural machinery electrification target China near 43% terminal electrification across rural and agricultural sectors so far 2026 14th 5-Year Plan benchmark was 10% by 2025 For China, targets are not a destination, they're a trajectory 200HP e-tractors driven & autonomous

Social cohesion at its very best in Australia

Why did WA EPA recommend approval of Black Mountain Energy fracking plans when an independent expert scientific comm found BME made a “limited & disjointed assessment” & reached “largely unsupported” conclusions" abt potential impacts to surface water, groundwater & groundwater dependent ecosystems❓

An ABC report reveals Anthropic has hopes for 20 GW of data centre capacity in Australia About 33x the existing consumption of data centres in the country today This is why @greenpeaceap.bsky.social called for a moratorium: they won't build wind/solar to match this www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

I just want to point out that temperatures over land (where we all live) have warmed over twice as fast as ocean surface temperatures. The latest update through 2025 is... not great 🥴 Graphic created by www.columbia.edu/~mhs119/Temp...

Why do we bow and scrape to Israel? Why are we walking on egg shells with the genocidal, abusive, international law breaking parish nation?

The Finocchiaro Northern Territory govt has approved Santos' fracking plans & they are about to get fracking in the NT Write Federal Enviro Minister Murray to call in this project for assessment under Federal environmental laws www.ecnt.org.au/santosfracki...

Read it at @deepcutnews.bsky.social cos the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion is deliberately excluding witness testimony & evidence of Zionist & far-right antisemitism

Commissioner Brereton has resigned from the NACC the day before he was due to appear at Senate Estimates for the first time ever following a successful Greens motion in the Senate. Incredible timing.

WA premier Roger Cook says "could be forced to allow fracking" in the Kimberley if Woodside's $30B offshore Browse is not developed Unbelievably crass, thuggish coercion—a display of the ugly mentality of a colonial extractivist hellbent on getting their way Utterly inappropriate & unacceptable

My people you are allowed to link to the articles and you SHOULD do that because outlets like @motherjones.com and @wired.com and journalists like @mollytaft.com who wrote it all benefit from those visit Don't be like the techbros! www.motherjones.com/politics/202... www.wired.com/story/chevro...

Une commission d'art où siègent des alliés du président américain Donald Trump a approuvé jeudi l'architecture de l'arche colossale que ce dernier veut faire construire à Washington. Elle fait l'objet de plusieurs poursuites judiciaires.

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

@sarahinscience.bsky.social on undermining CSIRO's ACCESS(AustralianCommunity Climate& Earth System Simulator) model "To put it as bluntly as I can, this is serious shit. If we don't hv an Australian climate model, we are shooting ourselves in the foot when it comes to adapting to climate change."

😬😂

A timely reminder that vaccines actually work. Those unvaccinated people put everyone else at risk. Especially the young and elderly.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

As a migrant with permanent residency who has lived, studied, worked, paid taxes, & contributed to Australia for ~30 years, I say fuck you very much, Angus Taylor (long-time PRs have reasons for not being able to take up citizenship—painting PRs as somehow lesser or 2nd class is odious)

Having lost PIOMAS Arctic volume/thickness updates, I'm now looking to Denmark. The issue here is that they don't include the record low year of 2017, giving the false impression that this year is a record low, which it may or may not be. I don't know. polarportal.dk/en/sea-ice-a...

BREAKING: Minister for Environment finally secures budget funding for Environment portfolio Unfortunately for the environment it's $500M for "unlocking major projects and helping proponents get a faster yes or a faster no" Recall, NONE of the 6 National Environmental Standards have been finalised

I reckon if you'd asked 2016-Ketan whether California's grid profile will look like this in 2026, he would've said something like "that'd be excellent, but it's pretty unlikely as batteries can't really perform load shifting at that scale" www.caiso.com/todays-outlo...
