Well this is just fucking great

How could all these fires, floods and heatwaves possibly be connected?!

“Heat is our biggest environmental killer, according to Professor Watkins, who said more people had died as a result of heat than all other natural disasters combined.”

If you can't see why this is bad and why it's coming to Australia soon... then I can't help you. #auspol

Why are we not seeing national outrage with OneNation collaborating with the ‘former’ National Socialist Network to conduct the March for Australia rallies? OneNation leaders have a long association with White Supremacists. #AusPol www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

The ATLAS & billionaire funded, divisive IPA with their own version of Project2025. Thinking Australians are are stupid as America.

That spounds pretty bad, ay. I wonder what is the cause of this cock-up?

My point is he wasn't just attacking blakfullas. He attacked YOUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY

When attacks have occurred against other communities, the government has spoken out strongly and acted quickly. First Peoples are asking why this attack against us is being treated so differently. Here's what they should do: nit.com.au/30-01-2026/2...

Bloke throws a bomb into families gathered in a capital cities busiest shopping and transit precinct and gets less charges than a protester saying naughty words. Wtaf? If you Australians let this slip by you are setting yourselves up.

Better to stop #fossilfuel production & use, lower emissions, & slow #climate disasters, so we can keep #Earth liveable! That means fighting for #Democracy & changing a few Neoliberal far-right #AtlasNetwork governments! #uspol #nzpol apnews.com/article/clim...

Literally no-one from the One Nation party has been elected to the Australian House of Representatives. Ever.

The Albanese Government has overseen a massive increase in investment in Palantir by the Future Fund since the genocide in Gaza began (and was facilitated by companies like Palantir)

The US oil lobby will target the EU's landmark climate regs in 2026, per its new policy agenda. But US oil cos have already been leveraging Trump and trade tensions to tear apart the law behind the scenes, documents show. My latest with @desmog.com www.exxonknews.org/p/top-us-oil...

For the record, I am not “pro-climate change” 🤣

I'm always surprised when there's a surge of stories on X and everyone talks like it's organic? A thinktank or Important Person paid for a press release-- Topic X is not suddenly of vital interest to the American people! But it's in news outlets' best interest to behave as though it is.

This article on the Atlas Network by @garethhutchens.bsky.social is epic, epic reporting. Interesting that my criticism of Swiss media rebroadcasting of Atlas Network climate denial made it into Australian media - but not Swiss. Thanks @jeremywalker.bsky.social for your leadership on this. 🙏🙏🙏

Well done to Gareth Hutchens & the Economics/Finance section of the ABC for this work & publishing it. The Economics/Finance area is one of the few that has always maintained integrity & independent, fact based journalism at the ABC, not partisan or propaganda. Much respect & thanks to you all.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C? Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-shrink...

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

It'd be genuinely interesting, but probably disappointing, to know how the EPA understands 'Protection' (or 'Environment' - or 'Authority') 😕

On #AustraliaDay, remember @jeremywalker.bsky.social’s efforts to alert us to Atlas Network affiliated outfits’ work to drum up hate for the Voice (thus First Peoples) to prevent inconveniences for the resource sector: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/ind... #auspol

Note that this is a decades old strategy in the neoliberal thinktank space. One of their earliest concerns was to fight postcolonial efforts at justice for First Peoples (and workers) around former imperial possessions, crushed by global mining/corporate operations. www.desmog.com/2023/10/10/a...

A searingly good piece (drawing on work by @jeremywalker.bsky.social & @desmog.com) to remind us of what the fourth estate can do when it does its job 🔥

Uruguay has made a successful transition to renewables, by focussing on the economics. Remove all the subsidies and support for fossil fuels, and the superior option becomes obvious, apparently. forbes.com/sites/kensil...

Historian Alfred McCoy says the United States is "an empire in decline," exhibiting the same "irrationality" as previous declining powers. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/13/alfred_mccoy_cold_war_on_five
