Anything less than leave it in the ground, stop burning fossil fuels will never be enough and that is the crux of the matter.

Burning more fossil fuels brings higher electricity price
The more wind and solar we build, the cheaper electricity gets

Imagine a government had legislated for

this is a great piece and it absolutely sucks that the outlet went for the ambiguous headline rather.

The idea that you can remain on X and "influence opinion" is equally true for creating a new Stormfront account, or a 4Chan account, or a TruthSocial account.

Rescued koala hailed as conservation success story killed by car Koala deaths on Appin Road are not unusual this time of year, but the fatality of rescued koala Gage is cause for more than the usual frustration and despair.

Another individual tragedy. #Koalas are a high profile species but it’s reflective of what little regard we have for our biodiversity in general 🧪

Time to change rules and strip honours from child abusers who’ve died, victims and advocates say Survivor John Jolley says issue has been in ‘too-hard basket’ for too long and Australian government should posthumously rescind awards

"The federal government should listen to the concerns of child sexual abuse survivors and allow Australian honours to be rescinded after perpetrators and enablers have died, campaigners say."

Cover of IPCC report on CCS

Happy 20th birthday to the IPCC's special report on CCS

Any day now, CCS is going to start making a serious dent in the 40bn tonnes of human emissions that go up annually, trapping more and more heat.

Surprise outperformer in Australia’s emissions cuts Treasury projections are sharply at odds with the outlooks of coal and gas majors

Gas demand forecast to plummet by the Treasury of the Australian government.

"Treasury sees output from the gas industry falling by 27-29 per cent between now and 2035, and by 67-68 per cent to 2050"

The Treasury is, as usual, very conservative.

Climate risk report is old news. Australia needs transition ... to reality - Michael West The National Climate Risk Assessment, released this week, has made headlines, but adds little to all the other such reports of recent decades

Good read from David McEwen in @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

Australia risks "becoming a washed-up petrostate with no customers and dwindling financial resources to grapple with mounting adaptation costs to the physical climate risks, simply because we bungled the transition"

Australia’s 2035 target of 62–70% isn’t strong enough. If every country did this, we’d exceed 2.4°C of warming.

That would bring more frequent and dangerous bushfires, more deaths from heat and smoke, and 5 times the damage bill.

There is no organisation called antifa, it's an idea. What Trump is doing is trying to criminalise *anyone* who opposes fascist regimes, like his.
