Being the US President looks like a very hard job. Trump makes it look like any idiot can do it.

70 years ago today, (Sept 22, 1955) a General Electric scientist warned about carbon dioxide build-up.

C02 “may be having a greenhouse effect on our climate” because mankind is “contaminating the earth’s atmosphere faster than nature can clean it.”

Hasn’t he been doing it for a while now??? Or did you think it was Putin?

Robert Redford died today at 89. He gave back through Sundance, fought for environmental protections, and used his fame to highlight injustices.

Instead of being just a mouthpiece for others, he actually embraced through education their plight.

The world needs more brave people like him.

One of the best things about living in a first world country is free vaccination program for children.

Australia’s National Immunisation Program covers free vaccines against at least 15 diseases.

Our kids need more 💉and no 🔫 in their lives.

The risk assessment is yet another timely reminder that even without doing anything to help emission reduction, Australia will still encounter very large remediation costs due to climate change.

Hastie and the LNP can delay, but ultimately they will pay.

And yet their commander in chief would like to have us pay for AUKUS submarines that they still control when they feel fit.

Will this finally result in some downward pressure on the average KWh price to SA consumers. With wind being so cheap it shocks me how much more SA pay compared to me in Vic.

Even the writers of Utopia couldn’t make this up.

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

Iran is the only country currently allowing it.

So he wants to Make America Like Iran #MALI?

Hmmm - I thought the USA didn’t like Iran ideals.

Didn’t Massachusetts successfully implement and successfully enforce laws to counter access and gifts by lobbyists since the 1995? Did you review your CUPA against that framework?

But which Crown authority has any facilities to enforce it?

« L'interminable numéro un de la Coalition, qui s'engage à atteindre la neutralité carbone, a fait couler beaucoup d'encre cette semaine après que le Parti libéral national du Queensland a décidé d'abandonner officiellement l'objectif d'émissions. » - ABC News

QLD LNP - 🤪 ! Pitié pour eux.

Man deciding his electorate is too stupid to follow advice from 99.2% of climate scientists

“The never-ending sideshow of the Coalition's will-they-won't-they net zero commitment bubbled over in the party room this week after the Queensland Liberal National Party resolved to formally dump the emissions target.” - ABC News

QLD LNP - simply WOW dumb. Now pity them now.

Apex creatures like Polar bears maintain the balance of the arctic. But only if they can hunt from ice.

This simple diagram helps you understand when one species reduces due to less ice, that means the imbalance reduces other species.

Every piece of the system matters.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. That means the US has more student killers than anyone other first world nation.

How is the US better identifying potential killers and treating them so they still have the right to guns but won’t use them to kill kids? 🤔

Well that’s not a hill you want to die on.

When Australia enforces similar laws at the end of the year, does that mean Bluesky will go dark down under?

I know it’s not that interesting to @foxnews but wheat actually fuels the majority of society. They seem to have forgotten farmers for mindless DC yelling/politics.

It’s called an economy and it starts with food.

Sadly everyone is stuck with US built Sikorsky Aircraft because there really isn’t a working alternative. And Australia uses the same so it helps with shared operations.

Were any of them vaccinated in the last 12 months?

Or is that now a thing we’re not allowed to ask someone? 🤷

How many months contractions of the economy before the USA is in a recession?

Or is the goal to undermine all indicators so the Whitehouse can just say it’s a “liberal media lie” when the traditional indicators confirm what people are experiencing?

Dutch courage?

Lies from anonymous accounts don’t worry me.

Go back to Twitter where your lies will find a receptive audience.

Though the reefs can distinguish, there are CO2 emissions that can be avoided, and some we can’t. 😢

It’s everyone’s responsibility to reduce their own. It’s responsible government to make it easier.

Ever notice how many negative reports seem to originate from these anonymous bot accounts?

Aussies eat a lot of meat pies, but surprisingly NZ eat more per person. Just another thing that unites us.

It may not be our national dish, but this weekend heat up 🥧 or vege 🥧 in the oven properly, and enjoy the footy on the tv. Mmmm

“Some officials may be using status credit accumulation as a booking factor, which breaches current policy.”

It’s your taxes buying these public servant tickets. And they are biasing their purchases so they can get lifetime personal benefits with Qantas instead of just buying the cheapest.

Qantas has a fair split of government travel, report says The Report of the Review of Australian Government Travel Policies, which was initiated after last year’s Aviation White Paper and completed in December, concluded that government travel bookings broad...

The body of the report acknowledges a pattern of high Qantas usage, particularly from Canberra, and admits that individual travellers may not be complying with the policy. Sadly - not in the exec summary read by the many.

Details matter.

Times are tough for beef consumers in the USA this year. So don’t give up on beef - just top up the supply with Australian Beef from your mates down under.

Put #Aussie #Beef on your fork this year. It’s actually why global food supply chains exist.
