The NSW gov is considering extending Tahmoor coal mine’s 1 million tonnes of CO2-e per year But who would they even be extending it for? If ever there was a time to hit pause, this would be it! #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/who-will-tak...

Global thermal coal markets are moving - and Australia could be in for a rude awakening if we don’t prepare for big shifts in years to come www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/science...

So interesting how scary a built-in fossil fuel decline can be for a government seeking to manage debt repayments And how much simpler the climate challenge would be without further expansionary spending

We passed ‘peak aid’ in 2022 and won’t be going back under Trump. The same is probably true for #climatefinance Question is, what do we push for now? www.independent.co.uk/voices/usaid...

Dear America, THIS 👇 is what you should've done. #DonaldTrump #USPolitics

So stranded fossil fuel sponsorship risk is now a thing?

Is this maybe even too Australian?

NSW coal has a bigger global climate impact than…France! The numbers shocked me too #auspol #nsw reneweconomy.com.au/nsw-has-coal...

If unchecked, crypto could be used to trade away national sovereignty, undermine energy security and destabilise the climate – all at the same time www.independent.co.uk/voices/crypt...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

Australia could be poised to reap the benefits of $billions in stranded clean energy capital looking for the most fertile soil to invest in #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/australias-m...

The British stole stuff from all around the world and they wont give it back. But they also left statues of colonisers everywhere too… Can we give those back now too? #auspol

Blake shelton keeping receipts!! What an awesome push back on lazy journalists at the #ausopen Just became my new favourite (non Aussie) tennis player www.foxsports.com.au/tennis/austr...

Labor is sitting on the edge of a historic opportunity: No New Coal Mines Stop whispering it and lets do it! www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/science...

Big Oil corporations have tested the waters and abandoned their climate resolutions in the last 12 months, and suffered very little push-back. Now they plan drill for more oil than anyone wants – or any of us afford www.independent.co.uk/voices/bp-sh...

There is a unique finance opportunity in 2025, especially in Asia - with a few key elections and long term finance plans due to be renewed eastasiaforum.org/2024/12/24/a...

Last week, four new coal mine expansions were approved, adding to a shocking total of seven coal mine approvals in just 90 days www.independent.co.uk/voices/austr...

Labor has approved 7 coal mines in 90 days, including thermal coal mine extensions and a new super-emitting underground mine - that could be one of the biggest emitters in the country. Before any of their coal gets burned, they are a big methane problem reneweconomy.com.au/new-coal-min...

“On the one hand, we’re racing to build out renewables faster than any other country per capita. On the other, we’re racing to approve more coal mines faster than any other.” www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan... by @stuti.bsky.social #auspol

I feel like Rotary International can pick a side on this one amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

So the Libs announced an energy policy in 2024, that basically doesn’t actually generate energy till 2040?

Good to see young people still inspired by Isaac Asimov these days

A great retrospective on the hopes and transitional tactics over the last decade of oil sands expansion. But I am genuinely left wondering…what the next step for Canada and Alberta’s oil sands?
