Demand Woolworths & Coles stop selling salmon farmed in Macquarie Harbour. By removing Macquarie Harbour salmon from their shelves, Coles and Woolworths can send a clear signal: extinction is not an acceptable business practice.

Please sign if this is something that concerns you ... for all species affected by the risk of extinction for the sole purpose of higher profits ...

Keep in mind 100 companies are the drivers of most carbon emissions. Corporations & Billionaires have bribed and bullied the worldโ€™s governments and agencies into not meeting Paris Accord numbers. A Yale studies estimates with 73 Trillion dollars we could outfit every country w/ alternative energy.

Everyday billionaires wake up with the means to solve the climate crisis and CHOOSE not to. The idea that they would have to sacrifice some profits to switch to sustainably isnโ€™t something they are willing to do. Instead build survival bunkers, spend $$ planning to go to space. They are psychopaths

Please do push this into the faces of all those climate deniers! Not that it will have any dramatic effect, but it might bring a little joy into the heart of whomever is doing the pushing!

The first thing I thought when I heard petrol prices were climbing was this: thankfully, thatโ€™s not really our problem anymore, says Gregory Andrews.
Thatโ€™s not because weโ€™re rich or because inflation doesnโ€™t matter.

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isnโ€™t how much oil prices have spiked, itโ€™s that weโ€™re still burning oil for energy.

After the deluge: Australiaโ€™s wettest summer in a decade was also one of the hottest ever Some areas that recorded temperatures close to 50C in January received more rain in one week in February than all of last year
