Ritual human sacrifice - quite apt really www.counterpunch.org/2025/09/23/h...

Hello there PM. You talk about Palestinians teaching their children to hate. But what teaches children to hate - brutal violence/ random murders - terrifying daily humiliation and starvation - unmitigated/brutal abuse -thirst, starvation - extreme injustice …. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

It was a privilege to meet with leaders from Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Brazil during the first day of #ClimateWeekNYC. Together, we can cut pollution, protect our ecosystems, and keep building economies that work for both people and our planet.

Guido Crosetto, Italy's Minister of Defence: "In a democracy, demonstrations and protests must be protected if they are consistent with international law and without resorting to violence." #Gaza #Flotilla

We’ve lost the info wars. Not that they were ever truly the main struggle… Time to take the prefigurative turn and build the new world we need.

Oh FFS

This is an excellent article on the idiocy of Australia continuing to be the third biggest petrostate and how this is not even a positive in bald economic terms. A great myth buster michaelwest.com.au/climate-risk...

Rising tide notes that every day, an average of 1M tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions are exported out of Newcastle (Aust) Coal Port. Emissions that lock in devastation and catastrophe for future generations. We need to take action to ensure that FF companies have no social licence to continue.

Great turn of phrase Greg

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views. In Australia it isn't just private companies that cave to pressure, it's the public broadcaster www.smh.com.au/national/why...

Julian Cribb: “Twelve kg topsoil, 950 litres water, 1.6 litres fuel, 0.3g pesticides, 4.9 kg carbon emissions are what it takes to feed an average human every day. Soil loss and resulting food scarcity is fast becoming the biggest unseen threat to human future.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Rare good news

"Australia will not hit the targets of 62-70 per cent reduction by 2035 and net zero by 2050 because the logistics of doing so require new forests the size of half of Victoria to be grown in 10 years, followed by further forests the size of two Tasmanias" Alan Kohler.

Some of us do.

And just to be 100% clear: being trans and/or being autistic is awesome. Discrimination against both is crap though, so let’s deal with that.

A major report from the European Council on Foreign Relations & the European Cultural Foundation argues that while the Trump regime is seeking to push Europe to the right, Europeans have the will and the capacity to resist. 1/6 ecfr.eu/publication/...

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

They've known it for years.

The cheek of the coal lobby as reported here is breathtaking. They must have had so many laughs drafting it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dear Americans I am so sorry for you.

Thank You Ross Gittins for posting this to a free-to-access site. This exposes just how shitty Albanese’s crew is re climate. The new net zero targets are a mere fig leaf. 🧵 johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Having pondered it all morning, I'm still incredulous that all that Today programme coverage of migrant hotels at no point (unless I missed it) mentioned why people were here, what they might be fleeing from etc.

"Under the slogan of Let's Block Everything, those taking part in the general strike called on the government to suspend commercial and military cooperation with Israel and expressed support for the Global Sumud Flotilla ... seeking to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid."

Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to slow climate heating. Our new report explains how methane abatement can deliver cooling within years -- and why solutions are affordable, available, and urgent. Read: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

The new #ProductionGap report is required reading on the planned expansion of fossil fuels around the world and how it squares with climate goals. Happy to have contributed a small piece to the report, on Norway's oil & gas policy.

Economic damages from carbon emissions of five major oil and gas corporations since the Paris agreement are projected to amount to over $5 trillion... www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

This is a war. Against humanity. There is nothing 'social' or 'transition' about it.

Society and civilisation are the cause of autism. Neurodivergence is natural.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

‘Banned public food sharing’ Those are some of the most dystopian words I’ve ever seen. What a neoliberal hellscape.

Despite the energy transition offering a huge opportunity for financial institutions, many banks are still investing more than x2 as much in fossil fuels as in clean power like wind & solar!

Yes yes yes.

So Australians are supposed to be disappointed that our PM won’t be meeting a lunatic who believes Paracetamol causes Autism. Spare me! Ian

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

I have identified a clear causal link between water and autism. All autistic children were born to women who drank water in some form during pregnancy Put health warnings on water

WA could readily transition to 100% #renewables if the premier wasn’t so anxious to keep gas going. #capturedstate #fossilcriminals #auspol #wapol

At least we don’t have to have any investigation into what happens when you combine years of heroin addiction with brain worms

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

society when only the autists remain after the rapture

Shame on Australia! #whistleblowers #warcrimes #auspol
