"Help me" - Liberal Senator Andrew McLachlan. Senator Andrew McLachlan asked if all this disinformation on climate change is occurring, why isn't my party in government? Ironically acknowledging that his party represents an anti-scientific policy agenda on climate change & often on energy.

We’d love for you to join us this Saturday for our 2025 conference in Sydney. We believe humanity can thrive while leaving space for nature. Together we can build the food & energy systems that serve everyone & protect our shared environment. RSVP: www.weplanetaustralia.org/event-detail...

Veteran financial journalist Alan Kohler captures the reality: if Australia is serious about growing the economy, protecting our standard of living, and tackling the climate crisis, the Albanese government must put dogma and politics aside and finally accept nuclear energy as part of the solution.

Olkilouto could power roughly 5 million Aussie homes each day - emissions free. The first 2 reactors began operating in 1979 & 1982. For over 40 years they've been providing clean energy. Planned to operate until 2038, with plans to extend that further. Nuclear offers decades of clean energy.

This week we are wrapping up season one of our 'Saving the World from Bad Ideas' podcast. @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by producer @robdeschutter.bsky.social to explore the concept of bad ideas: are we only challenging others' bad ideas, or also our own? This seasons episodes🧵

Can Greens support nuclear power? ⚛️💚 Finnish environmentalist and WePlaneteer Tea Törmänen joins @marklynas.bsky.social to dismantle Bad Idea #19: “greens are anti-science.” Tea shares her journey of helping make the Finnish Green Party officially pro-nuclear.

Here's @andrealeong.bsky.social report back on tasting the future of food. Cultivated meat allows us to enjoy the foods we love without needing to slaughter animals - reducing animal suffering, environmental impacts, and threats to public health such as animal borne diseases like bird flu.

The future is here and our President @andrealeong.bsky.social is on her way to taste it! Australia has just approved its first cell-cultured meat product for sale. This is incredible news for animals, people and the environment!

Exciting episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas releasing tomorrow, all about Rewilding. Is rewilding just about wolves & wilderness vs farmers &rural communities, or something much more hopeful @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive of @rewildingbritain.org.uk.

Is industrial agriculture the villain it's made out to be? @marklynas.bsky.social sits down with award-winning journalist and author @mikegrunwald.bsky.social Grunwald to explore Bad Idea #16: "We need to ditch intensive agriculture." Watch or listen now: www.weplanet.org/podcast

While the Global North expands fossil fuels for its citizens, it pressures development banks to block financing for LPG, a fossil fuel that could provide clean cooking for millions of the world’s poorest people who lack electricity. This is an injustice! youtu.be/mq87IM2pib0

Why is the National Party attacking Aussie innovation and people's right to choose what they eat? David Littleproud MP is targeting cultivated meat – a safe, science-backed way to produce real meat without harming animals or the planet. It’s a step forward, not a threat.

A great injustice is being committed against the world’s poorest people. It is disguised as climate action, but in truth, it is a new chapter in the Global North’s long history of colonial domination. youtu.be/mq87IM2pib0

This injustice needs to end!

Five reasons why the threat of nuclear war should be at the top of everyone's agenda: bookoftheday.nextbigideaclub.com/p/six-minute...

Data centres are power hungry, requiring firm, reliable 24/7 power. That’s why major tech companies, including Microsoft, Apple & Amazon, are investing in nuclear energy to power their data centres. Tell @albomp.bsky.social to lift the ban. Sign the petition: act.weplanet.org/overturn-aus...

Countries in the Global North, such as the US, UK and Germany, are driving a massive injustice against people in the Global South. We're here to push back. Stay tuned for the launch of our latest campaign!

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, this is what a progressive, socially just energy transition looks like. UK Labour have made a major commitmentment to fund a 3.2GW nuclear plant to provide clean, affordable energy to millions of households. Call on albo to lift the ban: act.weplanet.org/overturn-aus...

I don't think we should ban deep sea mining, as there may be circumstances where it does prove to be less environmentally impactful, however there should be proper global governance &safeguards to ensure we don't see unregulated exploitation & destruction of our oceans.

The NEM last night was 75% fossil fuels, even with >1GW of battery discharge (Dark Blue). I won't pretend nuclear will solve our problems this side of 2040, but the variability of wind & solar puts our climate goals at risk, especially as demand for electricity rises as we electrify our economy.

The world is going nuclear and Australia risks being left behind! Sign the petition calling on @albomp.bsky.social to lift the ban on nuclear energy: act.weplanet.org/overturn-aus...

Bad Idea #11 "No such as planetary boundaries" with Johan Rockström On this week's episode, @marklynas.bsky.social sits down with Johan Rockström, one of the world’s leading Earth system scientists & co-architect of the planetary boundaries framework. Watch or listen now: www.weplanet.org/podcast

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Labor have repeatedly told us they don’t support nuclear energy, and that they instead support the continued use of climate-wrecking gas until 2050 and beyond. Here's Minister @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social in 2023. 🧵

The nature of agriculture has always left it vulnerable to the weather. As our climate changes, we are seeing an increase in severe weather events, such as droughts and floods, that are impacting farmers and our food security.

As the world hurtles towards 3 degrees of warming, should we be seriously considering solar geoengineering? And if we don’t, is there a risk that governments or corporations will act independently, without proper consideration of the consequences? youtu.be/9WeTgNTjxPg

I'm alive today thanks to the life support provided to me as a premature baby. In a just society, faced by a changing climate, we must strengthen our civilisational life support system & ensure all people have equal access. Publicly owned nuclear contributes to this goal.

It may not have been obvious in the documentary, but I fundementally align with the left at my core. The modern welfare state is why I am even alive today & helps deliver the most socially just society. Nuclear's steadfast clean, reliable energy is emblematic of this society.

I'm part of the climate anxiety generation, but I found hope in science. Championing science has resulted in me being attacked by the left for defending the science on nuclear energy, & the right for defending climate science. Science, not dogma, will lead to a better future.

Greens for nuclear energy ⚛️💚

Wonderful and expansive review of my book Six Minutes to Winter by @jamesrobins.bsky.social in the @washingtonpost.com. "Two options remain: deterrence or annihilation. How long do we have before the former gives way to the latter?" washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

The anti-nuclear movement’s post-election “victory” isn’t for the environment — it’s a win for confusion and delay. Fear and political point scoring won't power the future or reduce emissions. Aussies deserve better from politicians and civil society. www.weplanetaustralia.org/post/end-of-...

It's not just coal & gas causing the climate crisis - it’s also the food we eat. Food technology innovations mean we can produce the foods we love with a fraction of the environmental impact. Sign the petition urging our leaders to invest in sustainable proteins: act.weplanet.org/sustainable-...

The elephant in the climate space is the cow - @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Innovations in food technologies mean we can now produce the foods we love with a fraction of the environmental impact. But for farmers, producers & consumers to benefit, we need our government to act. shorturl.at/JMy71

There is no ne-zero without action to fix our food system. Join me in calling on @albomp.bsky.social to act now - act.weplanet.org/sustainable-...

Now that the election is over, it's time to get on with rolling out clean energy as fast as possible and to stop pouring time and money into fossil fuels. Join us in calling on the re-elected Labor government to lift the ban on nuclear energy. act.weplanet.org/overturn-aus...

Whether it was Labor or the Coalition, it was always going to be a win for fossil fuels. Hundreds of thousands of $$ have been spent on social media ads alone demonising clean nuclear energy — while fossil fuels continue to fly under the radar. Read more www.weplanetaustralia.org/post/press-r...

No matter the outcome of today’s election, the real winner is the fossil fuel industry.

Should we bring wolves back to the United Kingdom? I say yes, wolf expert Luigi Boitani says... to find out, listen to my latest 'Saving the World from Bad Ideas' podcast out today. This week's 'bad idea' - we can't co-exist with wolves (hint!) www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

This election wasn’t a victory for climate action. It was a win for the fossil fuel industry. EXCLUSIVE polling, commissioned by WePlanet Australia, shows that resources spent attacking nuclear should have been put toward fighting fossil fuels. www.weplanetaustralia.org/post/press-r...

This week, former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel spoke to Crikey about Australia’s energy future. He explained that wind and solar will play a critical role in ensuring energy security through to 2040, but that nuclear could also contribute to our long-term energy security and climate goals.

This episode definitely left me feeling a bit doomey. It also made it clear to me that we are going to need to do solar geoengineering if we are to avoid some of these serious climate tipping points.
