Australian gas not keeping the lights on in Japan. What's the scam? - Michael West In 2024, Japan exported 40% of the gas it imported from Australia, keeping prices high here. What's the scam?

Australia, you are being scammed! #IEEFA shows Japanese export 40% of Aussie gas exports. Yep, they on-sell our gas for a profit while the corporations cry poor about tax and royalties and gas shortages @kimwingerei.bsky.social

AI expert warns Australia is unprepared for 'supercharged' harms Renowned AI expert Toby Walsh has used a National Press Club address to warn the Australian government about what he argues are inadequate approaches to regulating the technology.

“I could give you many more examples where my anger with the tech companies..has turned into outrage," “AI companions that undermine our ability to connect with each other, AI doctors that offer dangerous.. advice, AI nudes software that weaponise the abuse of women”

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

“A 7.2% decline for every tenth of a degree per decade might sound small. But compounded over time, across entire ocean basins, it represents a staggering and deeply concerning loss of marine life.”

We have all witnessed the planned enshittification of the grocery sector. Shrinkflation chiefly. Ridiculous pricing.

Woolworths shares surge as food sales and profit beat expectations Woolworths shareholders will receive an interim dividend of 45 cents per shares, up from the same time a year ago.

It would be fun to compare inflation with supermarket profits.

Housing, bills and food are what poorer people spend nearly all their money on. There’s no choice, that’s what their money has to be spent on.

Originally the property of Gina's Dad, before he sold a majority stake to CSR in 1943, though his companies apparently retained some interests until as late as 1994. Some (not much) of her wealth came from here.

Yeah I had to stop and vomit.

Morons. That grass is nowhere near the road. So lazy just randomly spraying glysophate everywhere

#amerikkka doesn't care where your brown husband comes from.

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

It's standard practice for legislation to be updated.

I imagine the adults will eventually be left to clean the mess and re establish some kind of democracy? But not sure if #amerikkka has reached rock bottom yet.

The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia. Crossing critical temperature thresholds may trigger self-reinforcing feedbacks and tipping...

"a hothouse trajectory with long-lasting and potentially irreversible consequences."

Lithium Plume in Our Atmosphere Traced Back to Returning SpaceX Rocket Space junk returning to the Earth is introducing metal pollution to the pristine upper atmosphere as it burns up on re-entry, a new study has found.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.

It's. A. Projection.
