It’s actually #DisasterDisinformation , which is much, much worse.

Last year, @michaelfwehner.bsky.social and Jim Kossin made the scientific case for a Cat6 cyclone. This week, Hurricane Melissa became the 6th storm in recorded history to smash through that threshold, with max winds of 216mph. And conditions leading to these storms are on the rise.

Every flood is followed by an outcry over building on flood prone land. And every subsequent flood shows that more homes have been built on flood prone land. Now that more land than ever before is flood prone, we really need to not put houses on flood prone land. Crisafulli is reckless.

And where are they evacuating to? No mention of safer places…

Yikes. That's a 242 mph wind gust just measured inside Hurricane Melissa.

Flood risk put on residents as flood measures relaxed in housing push Experts say changes by the Queensland government could ease construction costs by removing what the property industry describe as "unnecessary" restrictions, while residents could be left wearing the ...

So…let me get this straight…rules aimed at preventing billion dollar disasters (ie ‘red tape’) are “unecessary restrictions”.

I mean it's not like when presented with facts from experts (the ones not sanitised by government) that Murray approved a climate bomb that'll also erase ancient culture, oh, actually, wait a minute... www.acf.org.au/news/challen...

I love independent media and journalists with long memories, especially when they call out NewsCorpse!

Crikey, on how we came to be trailing China in rare earths, and manufacturing in Australia.

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of October in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest along the Eurasian coast.

Changes in October temperatures across the #Arctic by decade... Parts of this area (e.g., the Kara Sea) are warming more than 5x faster than the globally-averaged temperature trend! #ArcticAmplication

Welcome to the disaster industrial complex.

Disasters contribute growth to economies - is that why FEMA is being dismantled?

The No Kings news over the last few days has loaded the depression index toward optimism for the first time in a long time.

This good news from Australia might just tip the balance!

Agents snatching up a young protester off the floe today. Resist! Flippers up!

YOUKNOW ITS BAD IF NEW YORKERS ARE WALKING THIS SLOW

No Kings NYC

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Also non zero chance they’re looking for people who post about going to the no kings rally. I am the type of person that thinks a rally needs more vocal support and visibility to be viable but you should also be careful in that there will be people who use your posts against you.

The funniest thing is that they don’t know about block lists that we all subscribe to 😜

AND farmers do NOT buy these vehicles.

Sea snakes are usually overlooked in the lists of things in Australia that can kill you…
