Thanks Bill. Recording this area’s recovery over the next 12 months. The under storey and its diversity is even more outstanding. The resilience of nature is a beautiful thing.

Disappointment

#ginasmouthpiece

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

YES. We need to amplify the signal and turn down the noise. True for so many issues. Aussie cartoonist Cathy Wilcox sums it up with:

If Albo wanted to show some leadership he could expand the RC terms of reference.

Single frame. TV weather man stands beside map of Australia with stick pointing to map. Colour of map with temperature scale below shows fiery reds, orange and crimson pink indicating high temps throughout. Map in actual flames in some parts, flames on weatherman’s stick, his shoulders and hair. He’s standing in brown floodwater with flaming, smoking branches, a cow and a koala clinging to a branch floating by. Rain blowing in from the left. Weather man calmly says, “On the bright side, assuming global emissions fall sharply…”

Weather outlook.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

The world is bigger than Iowa. 50C (120F) in parts of Australia today.

Sometimes good to just enjoy the moment without reaching for the camera (colour me guilty on that).

“Nobel Peace Prize” as a tangible object (concrete) vs. an institutional designation (abstract): good moment for teaching the ubiquitous linguistic phenomenon of polysemy

(enjoy your posts from the other side of the Pacific - we had 42C/109C over Christmas, not a record)

Interested to know whether a US based climate scientist has to consciously convert between “ and mm or F and C or your brain just ‘knows’ the equivalence. Like fluency in multiple languages. In Aus we went metric in the 60s when I was 10. I’m still fluent in inches but not F.

BREAKING
Day 1 programme for the 2026 Adelaide Righters Festival revealed

Difficult to judge what the general aussie attitude is - echo chambers etc. Have there been any broad population surveys ? I really want to believe you.

Just to put that in terms we can relate to, 300 zetajoules is enough to bring 380,000,000,000 olympic swimming pools to the boil. eeek.

One Percent The invisible ships of the largest coal exporting port in the world.

I live alongside the world’s largest coal export port, ~2,000 ships pa, responsible for about 1% of global emissions. Hard to conceive of any process that can put all that shit back in the ground, let alone scale it up to 10%, 20% (who knows) of our emissions. andrewstyan.com/portfolio/on...

Someone should ask him, but given his Party he may use the ‘please explain’ defence.

200 years of energy imperialism is finally coming to an end.

Africa maps a path for responsible carbon removal Scientists in southern Africa sketch a negative-emissions industry guided by local evidence, social justice and ecological limits.

"David Ho of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa in the United States warned: 'We have to cut emissions as if CDR wasn't an option at all. Emissions reduction has to do roughly 90% of the work. If we don't do that, forget CDR - nothing will save us.'"

Excellent data visualisation.

Perfect! (not)

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

perhaps get it renamed as Trump Centre for Atmospheric Research. Wouldn’t get closed then.

Quite clear which end of the retail politician to statesman scale that Howard stands on. The gun laws always seemed to be an anomaly in his legacy.

I’m so happy for you … I think

At this time of year they take over our side path. At night. My wife enjoys my 'walked into a web in the dark' dance.

More than good 👍
