Yeah. But doesn’t mean that newer is better. Equip nowhere to be seen!

Yes. Will be interesting to see the details of the assessment method. Most punters won’t get that far. The ‘Gold Medal’ system works for Dan Murphy choices, so why not super? 😀 Retention teams will click into gear no doubt, often minus tangible product solutions.

Yes. Will be interesting to see more detail on the assessment method, but most punters won’t drill down beyond the ‘Gold Medal’. After all, it works for Dan Murphy selections! 😀

Yes. I thought it better than Sapiens, but that’s me coming from a Comms background.

I think we need a social media
channel dedicated to discussing everywhere except the US. For non-US types, the American focus is a bit eye glazing.

Love China’s immediate response to Trump’s climate denial. The US is leaving a vacuum for China to step in and assume global leadership by taking the scientific and moral high ground on multiple issues. America First looking more like a lone runner in a race no one else wants to compete in.

Delusional.

Would Trump's domestic agenda going global trigger a pandemic declaration? I'd certainly be happy to go back into lock down to stop it.

The US health department is an evidence-free zone at the moment.

Australia's target climate range illustrates the lack of conviction associated with appealing to the so-called 'sensible centre' of voters.
open.substack.com/pub/geoffbro...

It pleases no one when politicians opt for the sensible centre

Australia's emissions target of 62-70% below 2005 levels is merely a defensible political solution that satisfies nobody

A local debate set to replicate globally - a virality driven by climate change.

A local debate that is a microcosm of things to come

A verbal skirmish among residents and local authorities about protecting boatsheds is a pointer to bigger climate change contests to come

Lost the case, but no regrets and pleased that Doctors for the Environment has exposed fundamental shortcomings in our environmental regulations. Support us in covering our costs incurred in achieving this:
