Journos need to challenge Dutton on his plan to address climate given this extreme weather.
NSW + QLD have experienced a cataclysmic storm and some of the wettest weather in 15 years. SA is in severe drought.
Climate destruction is hurting Australians now.

Great piece on power concentration in electricity markets leading to big players controlling prices and screwing consumers.
We need a conversation about how to design effective, fair electricity markets.

No 2035 NDC submitted 2024/2025 Argentina Australia Canada Chile China Colombia Costa Rica Egypt Ethiopia EU India Indonesia Iran (Islamic Republic of) Japan Kenya Mexico Morocco Nigeria Norway Peru Philippines Russian Federation Saudi Arabia South Africa South Korea Thailand Türkiye Viet Nam
I've seen a bunch of people in Aus defending the Labor party failing to submit an NDC because they "need more time" to assess Trump's election impact.
Explain to me what changes about the physical realities of climate change? Besides "the urgency of moving fast only increased even further"
Look that mass tree burn through the South East of Gariwerd/Grampians, with fire burning through some of the remaining unburnt areas right now. 😥😥😥
John, Jacklyn & other Barbudans are fighting the construction of an airport, which would serve as a gateway to an even larger development, that began as islanders were dealing with the impact of Hurricane Irma. #ElTurismoMata

"Australia’s enthusiasm for fuel-guzzling SUVs and utes is continuing to flourish – with large cars dominating the list of the top 10 most purchased cars of 2024"

This insanely passive language for a car bludgeoning into a group of cyclists is appalling.
The use of 'collision' is recklessly passive. Dangerous driving costs lives.
'NSW driver dies having killed and injured cyclists' would be more accurate.

This coal mine near us in #NewSouthWales has demolished sacred cultural heritage.
The only answer is to close the mines and stop the destruction. Coal threatens Aboriginal culture, water supply and our safe climate; NSW & the Federal Govts must commit to end it.
