We were talking about how the oil industry in California will never be its former self today. How production is just not coming back no matter what the regulatory climate. And I found this image from the OC register from back in 2014. Says it all.

We have a brand new paper, again by a team of crack undergrads, about the networks of these anti-wind lawyers. The Marcella case happened to be first. 10/n www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/post/legal-e...

Ridiculous - I hope Brown stands up to this like Harvard has. This lab produces leading work on climate obstruction - it's helped me understand the organized, global, network of anti-renewables astroturfing - across the US, Australia, etc. It's importance is exactly why they're being targeted.

Sam Altman is just blurting out words now www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

The chair of the Climate Change Authority is advising the govt on policy that affects the demand and supply of carbon credits WHILE ALSO employed by a firm that describes itself as "Generating high-integrity carbon credits". www.afr.com/policy/energ...

From a story about a new species of pseudoscorpion, this sort of highlighted the management of Australia in a nutshell au.news.yahoo.com/incredible-p...

lol

Very satisfying seeing Chris Minns totally humiliated www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

📣 Offsetting 📣 doesn't 📣 work ‼️

Ooo climate obstruction on home turf 🧢⚾💥 Stellar reporting from @tomgrundy.hongkongfp.com Let's break Exxon's reply down ⤵️

Researchers in Darwin added First Nations seasonal calendars to solar irradiance forecasting and came up with some vastly improved results.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Incredible work from @timinclimate.bsky.social on the massive amount of emissions produced from Australia's fossil fuel exports

the boeing 737 sized elephant in the room is that airlines cannot decarbonize with "sustainable aviation fuels" all major airline CEOs that are parroting that SAF technology is somehow innovative or new need to lock eyes with the ethanol industry that has been alive and failing since the 80s

whenever i feel deflated i just google old cartoons of the standard oil company and remember if big oil could be taken down once they can be taken down again (see - standard oil co. of new jersey v. united states)

The Monash Woodside partnership poisons the well for academic research. This association enables bad faith actor Woodside to steer time and funding into false solutions like carbon capture, hydrogen - even directing research back into carbon footprints (!) Shame @monashuniversity.bsky.social

“This is not the leadership we want to see from Australia, if they are to be the host of COP at the same time,” said Vanuatu’s minister for climate adaptation Ralph Regenvanu. Vanuatu criticises Australia for extending gas project while making Cop31 bid - @australia.theguardian.com #climate

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱 Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated". #climate #arresteddevelopment #climatescience

Sussan Ley..... Australia's newest doublespeak right wing party leader 😍

Awful journalism from legacy outlets BBC + SCMP reporting on info they couldn't verify on Yurong Jiang, Harvard's commencement speaker 1.) Verify it? 2.) She volunteered for a gov backed environmental agency? Outlets will call themselves impartial and then espouse the most xenophobic takes 🙄

Please share in your networks. Goldsmiths, UoL are offering 5 scholarships in Undergrad & MA courses for Palestinian students. The scholarships include: tuition fee waiver, £19,550 allowance, return trip to & from the UK. Eligibility details & further info at link👇🏽 www.gold.ac.uk/fees-funding...

seeing plastic products being replaced by cornstarch “bioplastics” makes me take a long sigh because we’re just funnelling money from one evil (plastics industry) to another (corn industry)

A PSA to federal employees working on climate and environmental science/policy If you're witnessing political and/or industry interference in your work now that Big Oil has effectively captured the government, you don't have to let it slide. Contact me securely: heated.world/p/a-tipline-...

Anyone else suspicious of the fossil fuel industry’s advocacy for methane regulations? OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative) is run by 12 fossil fuel CEOs, and has position papers advocating for more CCUS and tougher regulations on methane emissions. #methane #energysky

Australia’s most popular carbon offsets don’t work - and they’re being backed by our Government. Large gas and oil projects will be buying and relying on these offsets as part of their emissions reductions 🔗 www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ... 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Ok @adammorton.bsky.social says it even more plainly! "Australia’s forest regeneration method is the world’s fifth biggest nature-based offsets program" And it doesn't work Carbon offset schemes are effectively crediting "abatement that is non-existent, non-additional and potentially impermanent”

anti-wind opposition has hit australia and reading the posts in these fb groups makes me 😵‍💫‼️💀 its hard bc they’re well-meaning (whale-protecting) but i seriously have no idea how you dismantle this kind of misinformation do we have learnings from US wind opposition (nantucket, east coast etc)??
