Feeling sick to my stomach about Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaching SE QLD. Around 4 million people live in this area. Buildings this far south are not built to withstand cyclones. How much do we need to lose before we take climate change seriously?

"If protest didn't work, they wouldn't try to ban it."

"If information weren't so valuable, they wouldn't try to hide it."

"Don't think for a minute you don't have power."

Fmr Senator Doug Cameron: fossils are only considered a 'cheap' energy source because they have never paid for their externalities - their waste, their environmental impacts or their social cost.

Health workers must find the courage to stand up against attacks on public health and science

The way things are going in the US, I have grave fears that PubMed/Medline won’t survive 2025. All you need is Trump/Kennedy/Musk insisting that studies they don’t like are pulled from PubMed, the database guardians refusing to do it and the funding gets pulled. Looking like mid year

Great, but the people of Canberra probably aren't the ones needing convincing

Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised but I'm still shocked by how few media commentators are calling out Trump and his actions for what they are. He's truly malevolent and unhinged and his regime's agenda will pose a serious threat to society.

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

Fossil fuels are back with a vengeance! And the world is cooking The fossil fuel industry is fighting back harder than ever against those who would seek to curtail it to protect the climate. Profits are up, political pressure for change is down. Meanwhile, the plan...

We’re seeing the state capture of political parties by fossil fuel companies. They’re putting short term profits ahead of protecting the people and places we love.

We need the moral courage to end this and legislate a duty of care to young people.

The New Rasputins Anti-science mysticism is enabling autocracy around the globe.

Forget the division of Left and Right. We are entering the age of the New Obscurantism: politics fused with magical solutions, superstition, an aura of spirituality and the cultivation of fear

Using the term ‘rotator cuff related shoulder pain’ to describe non specific shoulder pain makes zero sense!

Its like calling non specific low back pain… disc related back pain!

Why use a specific tissue to describe a non specific issue?
