“Here’s the thing, Bill Gates: There’s no ‘patch’ for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels.” — @michaelemann.bsky.social
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

We cannot see powers devolved to states and territories, we need stronger environmental laws, with more oversight. To the businesses complaining that they want less regulation, tough, a healthy and biodiverse planet is far more important than your profits. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🚨The "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice was a fossil fuels-led sham.

A major ARC study finds "Advance" a was massive spreader of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the May federal election.

So, for those working in #transportpolicy #urbanmobility - what are you seeing works for #eMoto classes that helps modal shift whilst meeting need for safeguards? There are supply side, demand side factors, market regulations, rider training, licensing, registration innovations to pursue.
Aware that in UK, Police resorting to fleet use of equally powerful #eMoto models to assist pursuit. Riders with little regard for safety + getting kicks risk turning this into cat+mouse gamification of risky riding. In NSW, #SkysLaw arose from risky pursuits. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye%27...

The extra weight + speed of an #eMoto creates much higher injury risk potential in collisions, compared to lighter, slower #eBikes - which makes them super problematic for vulnerable pedestrians, kids. eg www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas.

Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas

And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil

This is not just a piss take ... it's the out and out theft of our natural resources.

⚖️ AI medical devices are only as effective as their regulations.

Set the bar too high, and innovation stalls. Too low, & patient safety is at risk. A new Nature Digital Medicine paper introduces CORE-MD, a framework to strike that balance.
