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

Chronic ocean heating fuels βstaggeringβ 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
βA 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.β

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. Thereβs no choice, thatβs what their money has to be spent on.

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.

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.
