Some people claim that reducing oil/gas production won't help the climate because demand is fixed and other countries will increase production to compensate. A 2024 paper shows this is false: Reducing production reduces emissions by ~half the lifecycle emissions of the oil/gas left in the ground.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Crikey Moses. It's not like Suzanne Moore - a Brit - approached the SMH to publish some worthless drivel and they were morally obliged to publish it under freedom of speech. Someone on the SMH editorial team read this in The Telegraph (UK), decided it was worth the money, and paid to republish it.

This piece raises a lot of questions, and not many answers, but I reckon that they are important questions and if you intend to do national climate advocacy - or have opinions on it - they are questions that you should have an answer to.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Jesus fuck this map alone is enough. Then consider the Great Barrier Reef bleaching on the east coast the Gnoorea Beach fish kill and the toxic algae bloom in At Vincents Bay off Adelaide. And so far I've only seen the extent of this marine disaster reported by one team of journalists.

It’s not ‘uneconomic’ to build houses in Australia. Builders & developers are doing very nicely. High income earners are spending a fortune on extensions & holiday homes What’s ‘uneconomic’ is thinking builders will ever build small houses for the poor instead of big ones for the rich

Check out this cool and totally random book on climate change I found on the shelf while out and about today that I've never ever seen before. You should buy it for your primary school aged children! (Genuinely. It's great, and @constababble.bsky.social did an incredible job. Buy it twice!)
