- What we knew in 1953: “The large increase in industrial activity during the present century is discharging so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that the average temperature is rising at the rate of 1.5 degrees per century.” Plass, 1953
- Replying to @RonniSaltI think you are raising a profound point here. For those who have a passing knowledge of the rise of authoritarian and anti-democratic movements in the 20th century, control over the visual imagery of leaders was really critical to their rise. Very, very disturbing
- California sues five of the world's largest oil companies — ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips and Chevron. It alleges the firms caused billions of dollars in damages and misled the public by minimising the risks from fossil fuels.
- This is so, so richly deserved - Morrison's climate denial outed in massive Times Square billboard.
- Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she had “never seen so many natural disasters” and acknowledged - “let’s face it, it is (the floods) climate change”. The death toll nationwide has risen to 16.
- I am really concerned that the @abcnews does not mention the main driver for the warmest winter recorded in Australia. Human induced global warming, principally through the emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels is well established as causing this.
- Richard Flanagan has written another brilliant, excoriating piece on the Morrison Government, its denial of climate action and its complete failure of leadership in responding to the wildfires, heatwaves and drought
- Unbelievable statement by NSW Premier @Dom_Perrottet - one of most regressive, anti-democratic statements I can recall in Australia for a long time. It is hard not to see this as a direct attempt to intimidate, shutdown legitimate protest over lack of action on climate change.Unbelievable @Dom_Perrottet finds it “pleasing” a peaceful climate activist was given 8 months prison time The nerve to claim it’s people like Violet putting “our way of life at risk.” If that’s who you want to jail Premier, you’ll have to start arresting fossil fuel executives
- Tim Winton lashes oil and gas industry as ‘a crime against humanity’
- Murujuga's rock art is being destroyed – where is the outrage #auspol? The art of Murujuga includes extinct animals and some of the earliest known images of the human face.
- There is so much wrong with this - Gina Rinehart slams climate change ‘propaganda’ in talk recorded for St Hilda’s Anglican School students. This talk is factually incorrect on every single point on climate change. It is pure climate denialism.
- Tesla big 100 MW battery recoups cost of construction in little over two years...Neoen plans bigger battery 600 MW – the Victoria big battery – as part of its tender to deliver an upgrade of capacity of the main transmission link between NSW and Victoria.
