Madeline King has launched a new report on the "economic potential" of carbon capture and storage - the rhetoric is polished; the facts are not.

“Every dollar spent on CCS is a dollar not spent on proven climate solutions or on needed services or infrastructure.”

"Fossil fuel companies have used their wealth to slow things down… They're much better at capturing politicians than emissions… You can tell when they've captured one"

All particulates do damage
Particulates can be deadly to those of us that breathe air

🙌👐🖐️Hands up if you breathe air🖐️👐🙌

Are indoor air purifiers effective against wood heater and bushfire smoke?

Even more effective if we banned wood heaters in the places we live

“If you’d had a citizens’ jury sitting over the [fossil fuel companies] when they discovered how much damage and death their products would cause, do you think they would have said: ‘Yes, go ahead, bury the information and run disinformation campaigns’? Of course not,”

The whales have stopped singing?

Listen to the science.

"The Centre for Safe Air at [UTas] estimates long-term exposure to wood-heater smoke causes 729 premature deaths every year in Australia, which is more than the deaths attributable to emissions from the national fleet of 20 million vehicles, or from energy generation, or even bushfires."

Map reveals where 'silent killer' wood heater smoke is worst Wood heaters are estimated to be responsible for more pollution-related deaths than all the cars on our roads. This national map shows which areas are affected the most.

‘Historic’ ruling on climate change by World Court: What to expect The ICJ is set to decide the future course of climate accountability in a landmark legal case brought by Vanuatu.

Not sure how this will go but either way it’s a big deal for climate accountability

Vanuatu’s Ralph Regenvanu should also probably get more recognition for the work he’s done on climate at the global level, including backing the law students on this case
