It's always great to sit down with The Australian for informed, balanced reporting on current events that is free from misinformation, disinformation or rabbit hole obsessions and cannot be found on social media.

Inside Meta's fight to change climate reality... all so it can frantically expand a risky AI program

Everyone is ignoring the science on what Meta’s generative AI investment really costs, even though there's no evidence of a single, significant societal benefit.

When people say climate change isn’t an issue because we have air conditioning

I always try to keep scale in mind with political action. This is about 3% of Italy's population. A U.S. equivalent would be ~10 million people.

Furkan Dogan Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Furkan Dogan (20 October 1991 - 31 May 2010) was a Turkish American who was residing in Turkey permanently, 21 He was shot to death by the Israeli Defense Forces on the MV Mavi Marmara, in the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid. Dogan was the youngest person killed in the raid, and became a political symbol after his death. 131 [4] Early life Furkan Dogan was born to ethnic Turkish parents in Troy, New York 516 in the United States and moved to Turkey at the age of two." He was a high school student at Kayseri Özel Hisarcikloglu Fen Lisesi in Kayseri, Turkey [8119[101 H wanted to study medicine.''! He had planned to visit New York in the summer of 2010.112) His father, Ahmet Dogan, who graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with an MBA in accounting, is an assistant professor of accounting at Erciyes University. 51

Today I learned (on the Nazi site) that the first attempt to break Israel's siege on Gaza via a flotilla took place 15 yrs ago, in 2010. Israeli forces boarded the Mavi Marmara & killed 10 people. The youngest, 19 yr old Furkan Dogan, was shot five times from close range. He was an American citizen.

Russia has lost over a million troops since the start of the war. I wonder what % of fighting aged men that is.

Financial analysts cast doubt on mega Woodside gas project The Browse gas project is staring down the full weight of Australia's climate movement. Analysts say that is the least of its worries.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Woodside collapsed.

Fuck Israel.

When was the last time you read an article on how Ukraine has fended off Russia for 4 years? Now they are destroying the Russian economy by bombing refineries.

The media is so off on this. Nearly as off as their climate reporting. The global military machine likes a powerful Russia.

Our mega rich are inflaming selves & their tools to make us hate each other. They depict anyone not in their chosen identity (“Christian” “White” rightwing) as a subversive, violent Other. That’s a path to bloodshed.
How are we going to limit the hate?

The rich must eat less meat Scientists say rich countries need to eat a lot less meat. Will the environmental movement finally listen?

“For the past 2 decades, scientists have…landed on the same takeaways—esp. that rich countries must shift their diets to be more plant-based. But that message has, with few exceptions, failed to incite action by governments and food companies, or even the environmental movement itself.” #EatLancet

Food causes 22-34% of climate change.
But it only gets 4% of the media coverage.

Why? Neglect. Misunderstanding. And a hell of a lot of greenwashing.

At midnight in Gaza City, a young Palestinian girl cried as she walked the streets with no safe place to go, forced from her home as Israeli airstrikes intensified.

On the one hand, the Australian media is stupefying and actively harmful & obstructionist in their focus & framing

On the other hand, as @amywestervelt.bsky.social points out most of the public is still getting their info from mainstream media so we have to figure out how to fix this

News Corp and Advance called to misinformation inquiry The Senate inquiry into climate misinformation invited both News Corp and Advance to its hearings. So far the only response has been 5000 emails from Advance supporters, telling senators to back off.

Want to eat more plant-based meals? Maggie Baird, Billie Eilish's mom, has some ideas Have you heard replacing meat with plant-based foods is better for the planet and can be better for your health too, but you don’t know where to start?

Here’s my take on why beef matters for climate change:

“Nothing else on a pound for pound basis, except maybe refrigerants, comes close to the polluting power of beef.”

That “doesn’t mean everyone has to be vegan tomorrow,” but the goal should be to trim back…

Given the increasing number of reports on declining oil forecasts, how much longer can our society remain energy-blind?

Exxon to Cut 2,000 Workers as Oil Sector Job Losses Mount Exxon Mobil Corp. plans to cut about 2,000 jobs globally as the Texas oil company consolidates smaller offices into regional hubs as part of its long-term restructuring plan.

Whether or not we’ve hit Peak Oil, we’re well past the point of Peak Oil Employment in the West.

And even with automation to support exploration, drilling, and operations, that dwindling workforce spells secular decline.
