It’s almost as if the climate is changing. If only there were something we could do about it.

Austria hits record temps, wildfires in Greece, Albania as Europe feels heatThe world's fastest-warming continent is being ravaged by record-breaking heat, wildfires and drought this summer, as well as power and water shortages.www.abc.net.au

Something that’s been lost in the NAPLAN reporting today: the equity gap in our school system is growing. First Nations kids, kids living in poverty, and those in regional, rural and remote communities are falling further behind. Most of them attend an underfunded public school.

The head of Norway's oil fund is going to flip out when someone tells him what fossil fuels do 🧐🧐🧐🧐

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not understand this.

Last week I visited Tim Young at his farm in Norfolk. He and his family have been tracking the rainfall on their Norfolk farm since 1976, and the data shows the last six years have seen two-thirds the amount of rain compared with previous years. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmersDrought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviablewww.theguardian.com

A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

Ha'aretz: With less than 3 months until the vote, Netanyahu is using the same political trick that put him in the Prime Minister's Office: Keeping the general public in a constant state of fear and anxiety. Netanyahu needs the panic of fear, because a rational Israeli voter would never support him.

I just wrote a book about fascism and I thought this was a joke, but it’s real!

We may hit 3.5C sea surface temperature anomaly in September. The planet you were born in no longer exists

It’s genuinely insane that after only investigating 956 properties for not paying the Vacant Residential Land Tax the SRO received $38 million. They should investigate every single one of the 100,000 empties in Metro Melbourne. www.realestate.com.au/news/taxdodg...

One of the greatest ironies of modern times will be that the anti-immigration far-right, by also denying climate-change for so long, will bring about the largest mass migration in the history of our species by making large parts of our planet uninhabitable. #NetZero

We are witnessing a tipping point. Boreal forests that stored carbon for 1000s of years are now CARBON EMITTERS. Heatwaves make wildfires. Wildfires make more heat. More heat makes more fires. This feedback loop is what scientists warned you about.

This is a lovely example of a classic greenwashing tactic: the tactical snooze button. 'Don't worry, we'll do the renewables later'. Spoiler alert: they won't. The plan is 100% fossil fuels, 100% of the time. www.afr.com/companies/en...

How odd: the federal opposition, QLD gov't, the data centre lobby and a random corporate lobbyist all saying data centres shouldn't be subject to climate regulations, all within days. Must just be a coincidence :)

"Australia's system of privatised employment services is structurally broken and its prized federal contracts are being used to enrich millionaires and private equity firms, a new report argues."
