When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

From last November

I always love link-checking these pieces calling for deregulation and slashing environmental laws. Here's one example: this line claims Sierra Club chapters partner up w/ "NIMBY" howeowners to actively oppose renewable energy projects. Must link to an example of that! Let's check :)

'"People fought over five pallets. They told us to take food—then they fired from every direction. I ran 200 metres before realising I’d been shot. This isn’t aid. It’s a lie. Are we supposed to go get food for our kids and die?"' www.msf.org/dozens-pales...

US senator calls for the destruction of a civilian ship that intends to deliver humanitarian aid

Can Australians ever reconcile themselves with the reality of profound moral injury done by the nation’s inaction over the Israeli genocide in Gaza? It is time to take our indifference to the Gaza horror seriously. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Greta Thunberg is still a hero: “We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity,” she said. www.timesofisrael.com/greta-thunbe...

This regime kills people queuing for aid, after forcing them to choke points by starvation. We must end the two way arms trade and introduce sanctions. Free Palestine.

Bad enough that the Albanese government has no qualms about selling weapons components to the genocidal Israeli state. That they also try to cover it up highlights their moral depravity on Gaza and the West Bank. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine #auspol

Next Friday this is happening. Book tickets here. If you fancy it. www.waterstones.com/events/grq-s...

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles” “Only the vulnerable need to worry” “Just stay home” “Your health is not my responsibility” “How many comorbids did they have?” These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics. Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

#BREAKING The Freedom Flotilla Coalition's Madleen vessel has set sail to Gaza from Sicily with humanitarian activists and humanitarian aid on board, aiming to peacefully challenge Israel's blockade.

Editorial: Australia will pretend the emissions from the North West Shelf are not our responsibility, because the gas will be burnt elsewhere, as if the globe were not a globe, as if we are not all linked by rising seas.

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

According to Minister for Climate Change & Energy, Chris Bowen, Labor approved this (& other NEW/EXTENSIONS of Coal & Gas) cos if they didn't, Australian Coal & Gas would be replaced by fossil fuels from other countries anyway (Drug Dealer's Defence)

One of the insane facts I discovered writing this article is that WA collects more revenue from motorists in registration than it collects from fossil fuel companies in gas royalties

The TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) acronym feels like that rarest of things — a Trump criticism that will stick.

1. This is exactly why 'Redouble efforts to ensure that all people living with HIV have easy access to antiretroviral therapy (ART)' was a key recommendation of the detailed report I produced earlier in the year detailing how to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 in the future. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Need proof Big Gas is ripping Australians off? Inpex exported ~$54 billion in gas from the NT Inpex also HASN'T PAID A CENT in ❌Royalties ❌Petroleum Resource Rent Tax ❌Company Tax 🎙️ @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

"Someone’s making a killing — but it’s not us." Our president Jo Dodds has written a powerful piece calling out the Albanese Government’s devastating approval of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas expansion. 📖 Read Jo's piece here: shorturl.at/miCin #AusPol #ClimateAction

Meet Murray Watt, Aust’s new environment minister. His 1st major act? Approving one of the most polluting fossil fuel projects in the nation’s history –shattering any pretence of climate leadership from a government elected, in part, on that very promise #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/murray-watts...

Old bloke in a blue suit standing outside the gas companies’ annual shindig has a few things to get off his chest!
