We are a top global exporter of fossil fuels for export, and Labor shows no signs of listening to the science by stopping coal and gas approvals - in fact, in the environmental reforms recently, they wanted to speed them up!

Meanwhile, the global south bears the brunt of climate disasters.

Britain becomes world’s largest economy to end new oil and gas exploration - Greenpeace UK Commenting on the government’s North Sea Future Plan, in which it has confirmed that no more licences for new oil and gas will be issued, Greenpeace UK’s co-executive director, Areeba Hamid, said:  “B...

‘Running harder to stay in the same spot’ Joshi, who has been tracking the issue globally, says datacentres are large, inflexible loads on the power grid which have two clear impacts: they increase reliance on coal and gas generation, and they siphon resources away from the energy transition. Datacentre companies often claim they run on clean energy by investing in solar or windfarms, but Joshi says there is often a mismatch between their near-constant draw on the grid and the generation profile of renewable energy. “What is the net effect on the power grid?” he asks. “Well, sometimes you’re going to have a surplus of energy, and sometimes you’re going to have not enough. “So, even though on paper it all kind of works out, there are some times when that datacentre is actually helping fossil fuels to be dispatched.” And, instead of the new renewables eating into the share of coal and gas, these generators are serving the growing needs of datacentres, Joshi says: “It’s like running harder just to stay in the same spot because the treadmill is getting quicker.” Google plans to put datacentres in space to meet demand for AI Read more The electricity demands are so great that some companies have paid to restart mothballed US nuclear power stations, and demand for gas turbines has increased. Some developers in Australia have proposed installing new gas generators to service their needs.

Really nice to chat to @petrastock.bsky.social about what data centres are doing to Australia's climate ambitions!! More on this from me coming very soon!!!

Before AI, reality and truth had a built-in advantage. That has now gone.
AI is going to be a full-on catastrophe for our shared sense of reality, and for areas in which truth utterly matters (eg climate, pandemics, AI…).

screenshot of media release from Tim Ayers with text:Large-scale renewable energy ventures awarded Major Project Status 3 July 2025 The Australian Government is backing major renewable energy projects, creating thousands of jobs and injecting billions into the local economy while supporting the path to net zero. Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science Tim Ayres announced Major Project Status has been granted to two nationally significant large-scale developments. The Northern Silica Project, located North of Cairns, will annually produce 3 to 5 million tonnes of silica sand over 25 years, supporting 120 construction jobs and 90 ongoing roles. The high-purity silica sand mining project will supply essential materials for domestic manufacturing of solar panels, silicon wafers and high-end electronics. The Bonaparte Carbon Capture and Storage Project, located offshore northwest of Darwin, will support emissions reductions in hard-to-abate sectors such as metal and chemical refining. The project will potentially enable the development of low-carbon industries in the region, creating 370 construction jobs and 40 ongoing positions

The spirit of the Coalition lives on in the Labor Government. Giving cash to a carbon capture and storage project co-owned by INPEX, Woodside and TotalEnergies & calling it a RENEWABLE ENERGY VENTURE. Angus Taylor would be so proud. 🥲

An Accuser’s Story Suggests How Trump Might Appear in the Epstein Files

“as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”
Trump replied,”I thought she was 16.”
