MEDIA RELEASE: Labor’s 62 to 70% climate target does not align with the science, but can be met by phasing out fossil fuels “A cut of at least 75% cut by 2035 is what was required & it’s a missed opportunity for the govt to show it is serious about climate change," said @richarddenniss.bsky.social.

#JustWait.... it wont be long util the deniers, the destructors and distractors, the fossil-fuel devotees and disinformationist start their campaigns.... but the future is bleak if we continue down the fossilfuel path and don't change now... www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

They know the climate chaos coming, they know their decision will make it worse, and kill any hope of mitigation, but they did it anyway - for their own benefit. Not a principle among them.

In 2022, with a two seat majority, the Albanese government legislated our first climate targets. In 2025, with a supermajority, it’s claiming it lacks political support to update those targets. It’s time for transparency about climate risk and our climate targets. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

More reporting that top insurers say the #ClimateCrisis “could soon outpace industry solutions, effectively threatening to make entire regions around the world uninsurable.” Typically required for getting a mortgage. Tell me again how smart climate solutions “cost too much.” We’re bad at math.

“At the moment Australia literally gives half the gas we export away for free. Zero royalties, no PRRT paid on half the gas we export.” Executive Director Richard Denniss chats with 3AW about how Australia is giving away most of our gas for free. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Plastics are a great example of uncosted externalities. The Lancet has put an estimate on the cost of that policy and economic gap - $1.5tn per year. The US is representing the interests of fossil fuel companies, against the planet. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

SA’s algal bloom marine disaster...Murray Watt's contribution... "Analysis by The Australia Institute has shown that the greenhouse gas emissions from this single project would almost equal those of Australia’s coal plants combined, helping to lock in future warming."

Another reason Trump is a dangerous idiot… Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This article summarises Trump's America....vacuous, ignorant, self-absorbed, destructive and uncaring...

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

How do we describe Trump …. stupidly smart, intelligently idiotic, intellectually incompetent, dangerously determined, professorially pathological, evilly entrepreneurial. Whatever it is, he is a villain who has brilliantly manipulated the press, the public, the banks and the people. He is dangerous

"If the Albanese government is genuinely worried about the costs of insurance, it needs to rapidly introduce a ban on new gas and coal mines, abolish expensive fossil-fuel subsidies and stop giving away export gas for free" Denying the costs of climate change is no different to denying the science.

Hearing state officials talk about how unexpected these floods were & it’s infuriating. This was completely predictable to anyone even vaguely aware of the climate crisis. Same thing with LA fires. The Mayor cut the fire fighting budget as global temps soared. Climate ignorance = needless deaths

It’s absolutely critical that the Albanese govt holds firm against the attacks on the PBS by US pharma. That includes protecting generics. Affordable medicines are key to our universal health system.

“Almost 600 people are expected to die early in the heatwave roasting England and Wales… The surge in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, the scientists said, with temperatures boosted by 2C-4C by the pollution from fossil fuels.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Billions of dollars in renewables investment once destined for the US could soon be looking for a new home. The Albanese government must capitalise.

A harmful algal bloom has reached SA’s Coorong, killing fish, crabs & worms in a Ramsar-listed wetland. Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity and geographic spread of algal blooms across Australia. We need climate action now to protect our precious marine life and coastlines.

‘Gut punch’: top shark expert quits Queensland advisory panel after LNP expands cull program
