This article lists the damage that Trump and Musk are doing to science - cutting research and attempting to erase data on climate (or anything that analyses society in sections - gender, race, sexual orientation). This is affecting us in Australia. #auspol theconversation.com/trumps-war-o...

Dave Sweeney, ACF's nuclear-free campaigner sets us straight on the LNP's seven reactor #nuclear proposal. Find out what's really behind this, and what it might cost us. The good news? We're nearly half way to 100% affordable clean energy from the sun and wind. #auspol youtu.be/8K2cS78wiio?...

It's important to consider whether Australia can survive more coal and gas. If you use the metrics used by nearly every other country in the world, our emissions have hardly reduced at all. Check this out! australiainstitute.org.au/post/lulucf-... #VoteClimate in #AusVotes2025 #auspol

US climate scientists - Work for the no 1 science institute in the world - and act fast to save globally important data sets from right wing vandalism. Continuity of data is critical in creating the best possible pathways forward. #GlobalCollaborations #RespectScience #ScientificIntegrity #auspol

Every year around 200,000 ha of forests & other ecosystems are burned in South West WA. Whilst the program is intended to reduce the risk of wildfire - it is increasing flammability in some ecosystems. We need an overhaul of the DBCA prescribed burns management plans.

Jarrah forest is irreplaceable - mining removes the very bauxitic substrate on which the Jarrah forest ecosystem has evolved. Take this away and a Jarrah forest cannot be returned.

Let's give the gas industry the future they deserve! Going electric benefits your health and lowers your energy bills. Electric appliances are 3-4x more efficient. Household gas causes 12% of childhood asthma, impacts respiratory/cardiac health. Make the switch! lighterfootprints.org/making-the-s...
