Do you remember the deal @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social did with the LNP remnants to establish a # NACC

Not hard to forecast the effect of a duopoly βdealβ on environmental protections (a political oxymoron)

Nothing started on Oct 7.
Global CO2 emissions plateau Global CO2 emissions from the power sector fell marginally by 12 MtCO2 (-0.2%) to 6,963 MtCO2 in the first half of 2025. The decline was possible because solar and wind power exceeded demand growth and led to a slight fall in fossil fuel use. Without solar and wind growth, emissions would have risen by an estimated 236 MtCO2 (+3.9%) globally, which is equivalent to almost all emissions (251 MtCO2) from Africa in H1-2025. At the country level, there was significant variation. Among the four economies that account for the majority of global emissions (64%), emissions fell in China (-46 MtCO2, -1.7%) and India (-24 MtCO2, -3.6%), as clean electricity outpaced growth in demand in those countries. In contrast, emissions rose in the EU (+13 MtCO2, +4.8%), where strong growth in solar was outweighed by shortfalls in wind, hydro and bioenergy, leading to higher gas and coal generation. Emissions also rose in the US (+33 MtCO2, +4.3%), as clean electricity growth was smaller than demand growth, leading to an increase in coal generation, which was exacerbated by gas-to-coal switching.
A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased.....

So sick of hearing the much parroted
"Hamas killed around 1,200 people on October 7."
NO, THEY DIDN'T.
Israel killed at least half and the damage to cars (burnt out) and kibbutz buildings was from Israeli helicopter gunships.
Hamas has no such capability.

@australianlabor.bsky.social you have failed to stand up against genocide and do the bare minimum. Your complicity will never be forgotten.

But to pretend that's all the story is, ignoring 67,000 minimum people killed by Isreal, missing that this situation is more than 50 years old, or that Netanyahu is an extremist right wing fascist is to not tell the whole story.

He's a blinkered autocrat. I no longer think he's cautious. I think he actively backs the wrong side.
The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend.
The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldnβt protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day.
Some of us can condemn both.
The utter arrogance and ego of @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social trying to justify Labor's smoke and mirrors fossil fuel support policies is appalling. Excellent attempt by @climatecouncil.org.au to hold a conversation. But with this spin we're sunk. Not that we didn't already know that! #auspol

I count myself amongst the inactive. But the more I look at our situation I know there's no comfortable way out. If we want a better world we have to find courage,get off our arses, take to the streets, strike, protest and reorganise. Knowing the empire will strike back. Who's got the mettle?
