Clean coal is fraud. Fossil gas as a transition fuel is fraud. Carbon capture and storage is fraud. Carbon offsets to extend fossil fuels is fraud....

Juxtaposition of these two headlines ought to give @albomp.bsky.social pause. This existential problem will only get worse.

“If the land is excluded from Australia’s greenhouse accounts, the emissions cut since 2005 is paltry – just 1.3%. Which is a long way from the Albanese government’s legislated 43% target.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dr Ken Mulvaney thought that once people realised how important the rock art was, there would be no more industrial development at Murujuga. Instead he's seen multiple new developments built, creating acidic emissions that are slowly destroying the rock art. #auspol

Christ ABC potential benefits?? Firstly they’re revealing how it’s actually a pretty small employer statewide (especially given the revenue). Also past royalties ..so what about future ones? Yeah not so much. And also Royalties are not a tax. Like saying Woolies is great because they pay farmers

Australia's largest oil and gas project will continue until 2070, making a complete mockery of fake aspirations for "net zero emissions" by 2050. This shameful decision was postponed until after a federal election, just 3 weeks ago. Nobody voted for this. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

As “climate refuges” dwindle to pinpricks, why is the reality-check always in the LAST paragraph? “But ultimately, the best intervention for the reefs is for global climate action that would limit the frequency and severity of reefs being exposed to heat stress.” amp.abc.net.au/article/1046...

Claims that North West Shelf (NWS) extension are necessary for firming electricity are pure gaslighting. NWS is about EXPORTS It exports more of WA’s domestic gas reserves than it supplies to WA. NWS = LESS gas for WA Receipts in 🧵👇 thewest.com.au/politics/fed...

It's nice & cool now. And we got some wonderful rain. But we keep getting called to fires (85 already in 2025, not incl strike team). This fire season has lasted 8+ months. This is what climate change looks like.

Every once in a while, I'm reminded of the countless stories that we have either lost or that are so unfamiliar to us that we don't recognise them. Especially when I see episodes of such stories in medieval art. [Cathedral museum, Santiago de Compostela]

Massive congratulations to @parentsforclimate.bsky.social for launching the legal action against EnergyAustralia and securing a landmark result: an apology for greenwashing and a commitment to direct emission reduction. Well done to Equity Generation Lawyers as well. Have a read:

Quite possibly the biggest climate story of the year (especially when we look back on this in a few years' time) For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand...
