the “Queensland Environmental Protection Agency” – an agency that has not existed since 2009. It also refers to the “Australian Regional Planning Commission” and the “Queensland Planning Authority” – neither of which exists. The other submission, which does not name an author, claimed “case studies from the Oakey Wind Farm in Queensland” had reported “widespread contamination” at the site. But there is no windfarm in Oakey and the cited “Oakey Wind Farm Contamination Report” does not exist. Some properties in the town were contaminated by Pfas chemicals used in firefighting foam at a defence base. Dr Aaron Snoswell, a senior research fellow in AI accountability at the Queensland University of Technology’s GenAI Lab, put a small sample of the submissions through checking platforms – which also run on AI.

This week:

-Three more universities rejected Trump's extortion compact

Shipping emissions levy shelved as countries bow to US pressure Long-planned charge on greenhouse gas emissions postponed as Trump officials accused of intimidation tactics

Wow, this is disappointing. This meeting was supposed to be a final confirmation of a deal agreed six months ago, and it would have been the first serious step in making the slow-to-change shipping industry cleaner & greener & ready for the future. The delay only hurts everyone in the long run. 🌊

Ja, een vrouw haar betekenis wordt bepaald op grond van haar relaties tot mannen. Een man zijn betekenis wordt bepaald op basis van zijn eigen verdienste.

Auch erstaunlich, wie wenig inzwischen noch über das dramatische Abschmieren der Schülerinnen und Schüler in Deutschland berichtet wird.

Die Union hat alle angelogen, weil sie von Milliardeneinsparungen beim Bürgergeld sprach.

Die SPD hat ihre Würde komplett verloren, weil sie diese menschenverachtende Reform mitträgt.

Und über Monate wurde auf die Ärmsten eingekloppt, während Millionäre & Milliardäre lachend daneben stehen.
