A man can endure the entire weight of the universe for eighty years. It is unreality that he cannot bear.

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

1/ I just read one of the most comprehensive reports I’ve ever seen on the Atlas Network www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... What shocked me most isn’t just the scale. It’s the timeline.This project traces back before World War II. This was patient, intentional planning. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue

"In north-west Victoria, Mildura experienced just six individual days above 45°C between 1946 and 2000. This month there have been four already, and today another 45°C day is expected." Welcome to The Future, kids.

"In short, Atlas Network today possesses the capacity to impose practically any narrative on the political agenda, and even to shape that intangible yet malleable terrain in which most of the cultural battle known as "common sense" is fought."

He's honestly thrilled 😁 Atlas Network Celebrates 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado

How it started, how its going. #AtlasNetwork

If we needed a reason for comprehensive tax reform, this specimen is it. Obscene wealth corrupts our democratic process…and undermines progressive policies & positive action on climate change. And it is time to review royalties on resource extraction! #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is why we run everywhere. It’s quite literally my life’s work to support underfunded dems running in Red America. They speak truth to power, organize their communities, give voters a choice and a voice - and make progress. And sometimes they show the whole country what’s possible. ✨ LFG. 💙

California seems to be building a massive amount of renewable energy and storage while not building a massive volume of new data centres. That seems to be having the effect of actual drops in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly as batteries cut deep into gas

Hilarious from Fin Review.

#AtlasNetwork org IPA 'senior fellow' (??!) Mia Schlict denouncing 'Net Zero' at CPAC and Fin Review helping IPA to import the fossil-fuel-sponsored Charlie Kirk cult by not naming the IPA as the source of the article. Coal baron Gina Rinehart a 'Life Member' & major funder of IPA.

I definitely did not know this 🫠

Clive Palmer denies Steve Bannon’s claim he was behind billionaire’s controversial 2019 Australian election ad strategy Bannon’s claim revealed in text messages in tranche of documents released by US authorities in connection with Jeffrey Epstein www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Right-wing lobby group Advance collected $655,000 from members of secretive Christian sect the Exclusive Brethren'" "Other top donors to Advance included ...businessman Rod Tunley ($246,500), David Steele ($226,500) ..."

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

“Fossil fuel firms could be forced to pay some of the price of their climate damage, and the ultra-rich subjected to a global wealth tax, if new tax rules are agreed under the UN. Negotiations will resume on Monday, with dozens of countries supporting rules to make polluters pay"

It's hard to keep up, but did we already know Bjorn Lomborg was hanging out with Epstein?

"2024 the trust invested $254m in companies that extract fossil fuels" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More extreme weather in Indonesia

You cannot regulate away the damage caused by private ownership. When profit is prioritised, customers and the environment inevitably lose out — no matter how tight the regulatory grip is meant to be. #CleanWater #PublicGood

Just to close the loop here. A cozy club of just the very worst people.

Since #BjornLomborg is back in the news...

Remember #Auspol when the Abbott/Turnbull/Gas/Coal/LNP government failed to bribe any Australian university who'd set up a 'research' centre for "campaigner for climate change trivialisation Bjorn Lomborg" with $4 million of our money?? Good times. #EpsteinFiles theconversation.com/academic-fre...

Important article by @toryshepherd.bsky.social today in The Guardian. She was unable to use my focus that it is the “Christian” identity that is being used to bind a motley crew of reactionaries & rightwing revolutionaries into a bloc. Note Farage links. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #Auspol

Less we forget who Pauline is working for

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

JPMorgan has been named in the BankTrack report as one of the largest financial lenders/underwriters of new fossil fuel projects since the UN Paris treaty. If hideous billionaires are keen to cook all the kids' futures to ashes, then why would they have moral qualms about Epstein's island?

"It is quite extraordinary for a serving government minister to advise a foreign bank to threaten the chancellor in order to reduce its UK tax bill.” Surely Lord Mandelson cannot retain the Labour whip? www.ft.com/content/91e8...

"As leader of the UK Greens, Zack Polanski, said of UK Labour, 'we are not here to be disappointed by you … we are here to replace you'. The UK Greens are now on the verge of overtaking Labour in the polls." A challenge for Australian Greens. #auspol www.deepcutnews.com/p/the-greens...

Re-upping this thread in light of the revelation that both Gates and Lomborg are in the #EpsteinFiles

I think this is representative of fossil-fuelled weather extremes reportage not just in Aus but in many countries, where (a) the cause, fossil fuels, is simply never mentioned and (b) the change is treated as essentially inevitable and un-mitigatable, all that's left is figuring out how to 'adapt'

“Industry lobby group Coal Australia donated more than $5 million to third-party campaigns that attacked Labor, the teals, and Greens under the guise of grassroots groups.” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Anti-climate policy/RE soothsayer Bjorn Lomborg is in the #EpsteinFiles?! On the #AtlasNetwork denial org circuit, he's 'advisor' to oil-funded far-RW agitprop platform Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. So is John Howard, Jacinta Price, Andrew Hastie. www.desmog.com/bjorn-lomborg/ #KidCookers

Woody Allen and climate denier Bjorn Lomborg meet up with Jeffrey Epstein... No, it's not the beginning of a joke.

Surprise, surprise 🙄 A June 8, 2010, email from Lord Mandelson encloses an email dated the previous day from Xstrata's then-boss, Mick Davis, discussing the campaign and his company's suspension of more than half a billion dollars in spending planned for two sites in Queensland:

In Sydney tomorrow 🧶👵’s will once more invite select MP’s and others to come to the the streets and tell us what steps they will take in 2026 to keep our air, land and water safe for future generations. Come join us for some #ClimateAction

Years of original research, smoking guns, cheques: 75 pages, 250ish footnotes with multiple refs, hope it helps all you folks out there trying to save our democracy and country and land and sea from those who aren't satisfied with the billions they've already made cooking our kid's future to ashes.

Coal was the focus in 2019. The new focus for the next election is wind & solar www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Follow the money. If we had mainstream political journalists worth the name, they'd focus far less on the superficial race-horse politics of One Nation v LNP. And far more on the links between Rinehart, MAGA, One Nation, Advance, IPA & other RW 'think tanks', and the global Atlas Network. #auspol

MSM is building both Farage and One Nation. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Ha ha ... #auspol #phon #legacymedia #humour #predictions

We (Climate Integrity) are about to drop our analysis of the fossil fuel industry donations to the major parties ahead of the 2025 federal election. As a small spoiler - there's still a lot of dirty money flowing in politics. transparency.aec.gov.au/ClientEntity...
