Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why did Keir Starmer really block Andy Burnham from running in Gorton and Denton?

Extreme heat is blasting eastern Australia. It’s driven by fossil fuels, development of which the Albanese government continues to support. The Guardian Australia’s climate/environment journalist calls it out @adammorton.bsky.social @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spoiler: it is very hard to remove GHGs from the atmosphere and impossible to do so sustainably at scale. This means that stopping catastrophic climate change requires the fastest possible wind down of fossil carbon mining and burning.

Please reskeet every post you see that links climate change to fossil fuels (not just mine 😉) 🙏

It seems you do not go to SBS News, either on air or on line, for any immediate news of the fires in Victoria. Maybe at the back of the bulletin?

Speaking tomorrow evening (Thursday 22nd January) in Shrewsbury. Details here: greenshropshire.org.uk/news/shrewsb...

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Help! Sign & share the petition to save the State Library of Victoria from rolling crises, gallery closures, harassment/jettisoning of staff & new cuts to destroy services for children & adults. c.org/Hj9G9WSg2f. (Or change.org, search Save The State Library of Victoria.) #StateLibrary #librarians

Inspiring article. I learned a lot from this and I thought I knew surrealism well. Worth your time.

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities. #COP30

“There is no moment in the human story when safe and prosperous living conditions have coexisted with above replacement-level fertility.” !

More disturbing reporting from The Nerve. How can a scrappy startup in 3 weeks leave BBC trailing in its coverage of Russian interference in our politics?

@therestpolitics.bsky.social As a regular listener, quite concerned by your extended plugs for Google and AI. Are you folllowing the news? Apart from copyright issues, hallucinations, and tech-bro lunacy, if the AI bubble bursts, as looks very possible, there will be massive economic consequences.

Climate denial and the defence of modernity www.resilience.org/stories/2025...

"Peter Mandelson lost his job for being friends with a paedophile. Donald Trump, who was friends with the same paedophile, was given a state banquet hosted by a King whose brother lost his job because he was friends with the same paedophile.“

You 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 unreasonable 👏🏻

A taster for my future work on the safeguard mechanism. Have you heard our Climate Minister say that the reformed safeguard mechanism delivered on-site abatement equivalent to two-thirds of Australia's annual aviation emissions? Who cares and somehow also I do and no it didn't.

China’s new-build solar additions in the last six months are more than the US has installed in total. In the first half of 2025 China’s new additions were more than twice the new capacity installed by the entire rest of the world this year. via @adamtooze.bsky.social

The world is changing.

"Anthony Albanese's claim that more fossil gas is needed for the energy transition is unscientific nonsense - it is gas industry propaganda raised to the level of state policy – and reflects a stampede toward more fossil fuels rather than a transition away."

@australia.theguardian.com Please shift the Charlie Kirk story down the page. It is NOT and never has been the most important story of the day in Australia, the US or the World.

Here's @boganintel. 'From maniacal to outright insane'

Et tu @aunz.theconversation.com ? “Today marked the loss of a unique leader in the US conservative movement.” Seriously Jared Mondschein? By your own account, today marked the death of a harmful, deceitful, divisive, polarising voice.

Nails it again. Brilliant as always.

This piece is so good that I feel weird and kind of gross for both discovering it four days after the fact and sharing it after midnight. But anyway this is an exceptionally affecting piece of writing and @roycerk2.bsky.social is a very good journalist. But you all already knew that. Didn't you?

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social The Handala has just been illegally intercepted by Israel while carrying baby formula to starving children in Gaza. Will the Australian Govt condemn this illegal action at sea by Israel? #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

An absolutely damning insider account of what has just gone down in Paris. Murujuga traditional custodians took the fight to protect their Country to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Paris. They lost. @unesco.org www.lastplaceonearth.com.au/inside-unesco/ Inside UNESCO

@australia.theguardian.com Why, day after day, do you think the most important story in the world is what is happening inside the Liberal Party? Your US and European editions lead today, far more appropriately, with Gaza.

If like me you worried about what had happened to the Guardian Gaza Diarist….

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide. It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International. No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

Read Ronan Bennet's brilliant deconstruction of Keir Starmer, also an inspiring reconstruction of what ought to be our moral compass on all matters related to defending Peace and the cause of ending the genocide of Palestinians www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/fre...

An observation: Threads seems designed to encourage outrage in a very similar way to X. This just doesn’t seem to be the case here. There’s plenty of concern, argument and rebuttal here, but the temperature definitely seems lower, thank goodness.

Perfectly expressed.

“And yet they still carry on amid the wreckage. Their pronouncements about the importance of diplomacy sound like echoes from an era that has long passed – one before a livestreamed genocide demolished any semblance of a coherent system of international law.”

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen. Pressure the foreign ministries and help us keep Greta safe! Web: government.se/contacts/ X : @SweMFA FB : @SweMFA IG : swedishmfa #AllEyesOnMadleen

This is amazing 🤯🤯

How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down? Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate

We have less than 10 days to stop this. I've just signed the petition calling on the new Environment Minister to reject Australia's biggest fossil fuel project. SIGN NOW! nb.australiainstitute.org.au/reject_north... #rejectnorthwestshelf #nonewcoalandgas

I hope everyone has the chance to read and digest this extremely important Naomi Klein (Shock Doctrine author) interview. She "breaks down the dark logic of Trump and Musk’s path of destruction — and what the world’s richest people really want." Outtake below. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Maltese authorities must permit the 'Conscience' immediate safe passage into Maltese waters, and provide all needed assistance as well as protection for the ship and all those on board. #BreakTheSiege freedomflotilla.org/2025/05/03/p...

The Maltese government has not yet responded to the #SOS signal from this civilian humanitarian vessel. Under international maritime law, #Malta has an obligation to act & ensure the safety of a civilian ship in distress within its proximity. @maltatoday.bsky.social
