A back swan

Thinking about black swans and feeling a tad relieved that we jumped on a second hand ev about 3 weeks ago after studying the market for about a year 😬

Maybe decisions would be evidenced based🤷‍♀️

Alas, I expected madness on the 2026 dance card 😔

Why am I not surprised.

And don’t forget the feed lots of AAC

This is an obscene crime against humanity and the environment. When are sensible governments going to stand up against this ?
This does not deliver regime change, does not free the people of Iran, does not bring peace

Budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten Arctic science For decades, ECCC research scientists have been integral to the work of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme.

Another blow to climate science: budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten long-running Arctic monitoring programs, some with >50-year datasets.

The Arctic is warming ~4× faster than the global average. Cutting the science that tracks is…

Not one mention in the ABC advertorial that there is a strong, well- know indie candidate 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️

#HardTruth: While feigning concern, it’s actually Govt policy to let fuel prices rise (early). It reduces fuel demand (up to 10%) which is important when you’ve gifted billions to the US & UK for #AUKUS and not spent a dime on addressing low fuel stocks #25DaysDiesel #FOI #auspol

Interesting commentary out of the US. The $$ are mind blowing 🤯

Albanese’s policy on Iran makes us complicit in the collapse of international rules The Albanese government has stood by as the foundations of the international order were destroyed

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”

But you do improve future outcomes

Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes after the Israeli military issued evacuation orders in southern Lebanon, the Beirut suburbs and the Bekaa Valley. 

Forced displacement of civilians in armed conflict is a war crime, and it’s becoming a serious risk in Lebanon.

So did the Australian Foreign Minister mislead parliament?
She said the submarine was under imminent attack.

Or was she lied to by an ally?

The Ultimate Trump Card I take no pleasure in writing this, and you should take none in reading it

For some, the words unconditional surrender lead to one vivid historical fact. We cannot continue to discount the risks of nuclear use by the President.

Absolutely shocking, this isn't the major discussion point for every government 🤷‍♀️

Yes, it is mutiny - a type of mutiny that is far more common than most realize. And there will only be more. Again, Trump looks at the military & sees only a perfect, unstoppable machine that has no flaws.

If you understand the implications of this, I don’t know how you’re not terrified for our kids.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

Sea level much higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments - Nature Meta-analyses on a global scale show that the measured coastal mean sea level is higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments.

The closer we look, the more we see how much worse our predicament actually is.

Millions of coastal dwelling humans will be on the move soon.

We are absolutely NOT prepared.

It's also worth pointing out that fossil fuel dependency is the ultimate cause for why the United States is lighting up the Middle East. Again. 9/11

Because if we cannot accept that we failed to stop burning fossil fuels in time, failed to stop the annihilation of the natural world, then we will be doomed to continue to fail. This failure means 3 things that are very rarely publicly discussed: 3/11
