Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

In Australia, Retired Admiral Peter Briggs was highly critical of the AUKUS Deal and calls for a more cost-effective Plan B Solution: has more knowledge and nounce in one statement than males will ever hav in his whole life. #auspol #CancelAUKUS theaimn.net/political-fu...

Teal candidate Nicolette Boele has seized the once blue-ribbon seat of Bradfield after a recount of the north shore seat, beating Liberal hopeful Gisele Kapterian by just 27 votes in one of the tightest elections in history. tinyurl.com/3crnrw68

Shhhh!! Don't tell the Nationals #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/solar-farms-...

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

Last night's @abcnews piece on the transmission cost blowout, and the need to shift the energy transition to more rooftop solar, with batteries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCjb...

The latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions figures are out, and we are nowhere near on track for the (woeful and inadequate) 43% below 2005 levels by 2030

New emissions data is out - and it’s not good news. Carbon pollution is going up, and it’s higher than under Morrison’s Libs. Labor’s approval of new coal and gas like the North West Shelf has consequences for the planet. Two climate tests so far - and Labor’s failed both.

Suggestion: check to see whether that post you just read dooming on about "population collapse is a massive crisis", really just means "white people population".

Americans work more hours, take less vacation, work longer days, & retire later. But hey, at least we're not stuck with socialized health care.

Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes? Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k! Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise. Never take time off for study, kids or illness. You will retire with $3,017,016 moneysmart.gov.au/how-super-wo...

Good news and well done the people behind this. 🧪 #nature @euanritchie.bsky.social cosmosmagazine.com/nature/anima...

How in the fuck do we live in a country where the United Nations say FOURTEEN THOUSAND babies in Palestine are at risk of dying from starvation within the next 48 hours and the Australian media aren’t screaming at @albomp.bsky.social and his government to DO SOMETHING CONCRETE TO HELP? #NewsCorpse

Holding Israel accountable is not support for Hamas it’s support for humanity and the rule of law. Without it, we are not a civilization but a collection of beasts walking upright.

Today is the UK's Earth Overshoot Day- marking the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.

I can study all my life: Denmark pays students $1,000 a month to go to universities, with no tuition fees

Your reminder of a few pertinent FACTS while Western media continues to report that there's "a war" going on between Israel and Hamas/Gaza. #StopIsrael #FuckZionism #EndTheGenocide #EndTheApartheid #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

The Trump - Putin call ended in the usual bullshit, nothing substantial was agreed or moved forward. Trump isn't looking for peace, he's looking for a trade deal. This is about US and Russian oligarchs wanting to establish businesses, grab resources, and remove sanctions.

Casting what is happening in Gaza as a ‘war’ with the attendant language of ‘ground operations’ etc is obscene, yes. It’s also a basic denial of journalism’s responsibility to truth.

The news today that EnergyAustralia had admitted that offsets are the wrong way to go is a win that has been a long time coming. In 2023 at our first #ClimateIntegrity Summit, Allan Fels, fmr Chair of the ACCC, explained that there are gas companies that are 'net-zero' certified by Climate Active.

Did you know that 100 Australian endemic species have been listed as extinct (or extinct in the wild) since colonisation? Let’s stop here! Tell your MP to fix our nature laws or these precious creatures🔻⤵️ will join the list nobody wants to be on #EndangeredSpeciesDay
