A climate election? The Coalition wants to take Australia backwards, while Labor is standing still | Clear Air
Depending on where things end up after Saturday, the biggest climate push may come from the crossbench

Can climate science attribute economic damage to major polluters?
Climate researchers argue their science has advanced enough to directly link emissions from particular companies to damages from specific extreme weather events
Can fossil fuel companies be held legally accountable for climate-related damages? Researchers have a new method they say links the emissions from specific companies to trillions of dollars in economic harm.

How has fascism in Britain got this far? Neoliberalism has opened the door for it | George Monbiot

Monbiot: "I feel thereโs great potential in building a new โpolitics of belongingโ, in which political power and control of local resources are returned to communities."

Walesโs 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority
"Walesโs 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?" - really nice to see our motonormativity research being used to explain this. Cheers, @peterwalker99.bsky.social
