Feels like it might be time to say this again…

Time for your regular reminder that

A) the Coaltion’s feelings about climate are irrelevant for the next 3-6 yrs

B) how much you worry about the Coalition is up to you

C) the more you worry about the Coaltion’s irrelevant opinions the less pressure is on the ALP to stop approving new gas & coal

A metaphore for what Chump is doing to his country? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
Satellite images show the White House's East Wing has been demolished
The demolition has sparked angry backlash from Democrats and raised questions about whether the Trump administration followed proper protocols.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

Millions of Americans are marching against Trump today. I sure hope no leader from Australia is about to pop over and bend the knee to him, offer him tribute and fawning adoration, maybe some of our resources and real estate for US military bases. Surely that won’t happen.

Now with alt-text:
Classic meme of Chris Pratt trying to fend off three raptors in Jurassic World (2015) by just holding his palms out in the "hold up/stop" motion and by speaking to them. The raptor to the far left has the text "Late Stage Capitalism" on it. The raptor in the middle has the text "Fascism" on it. The raptor to the far right has the text "Climate Change" on it.

✍️ I'm currently working on a new Help Hub article for our government agency content managers, exploring how people use the search on nsw.gov.au based on our research— and how they can optimise their content to align with real user behavior and search patterns.

We talk about CO2 emissions, but we really care about CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.
If the land & oceans no longer soak up half of the carbon humans emit--and the land sink disappeared in 2023--we are in a whole new ballgame.
2024 saw the biggest increase ever.

Every single day - & twice on Tuesdays - our government is sitting down & listening to people whose only objective is to maximize shareholder profit while deliberately killing billions of people.

This political system is a death machine.
Labour ministers met fossil fuel lobbyists 500 times in first year of power, analysis shows
Lobbyists attended 48% more meetings than Tories, as Labour accused of giving them ‘backstage pass’
