Pakistan’s solar and wind boom just got a boost—cheap Chinese batteries are making clean power reliable day and night. Factories like Lucky Cement are ditching fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and keeping the power flowing. When tech gets affordable, the energy transition speeds up.

Wildfires across Canada are causing smoke to spread across North America, as far as Florida. A reminder that particulates in wildfire smoke can cause short- and long-term health issues. An excellent way to protect yourself is to wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

Opinion | Anyone working to increase the supply or use of fossil fuels in 2025 is one of two things. The first is a climate denier. The second might be even worse, @ketanjoshi.co writes.

CO₂ at Mauna Loa just reached a monthly average of >430 ppm for the first time. That's possibly higher than in over 3.3 million years. The global RATE of increase is off the chart. It's hard to exaggerate how unprecedented this is!

Hawke was a US intelligence 'asset' in the 70s, while still at the ACTU, as we know thanks to Assange: www.news.com.au/technology/w.... Why would senior Labor political figures not also be, now? It may be naive to assume otherwise.

I think about this every day. We are ruled by people who if they were children, we’d be so appalled by their behaviour we would discipline them and send them to their room.

FWIW, Australia's gas export to Asia displaces more renewable generation in the importing country at a rate of about 2:1.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Vast areas of Australia will be uninsurable. theconversation.com/nsw-is-again... #Auspol Even if you're in a safe area, premiums will rise because the Insurers need to stay solvent. Insurers used to make they money back during 'mild' years between bad years. We don't have mild years any more.
