Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot
The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Matt Canavan couldn’t give a shit about the cost to the planet of fossil fuel emissions - denies that there is a cost - but suddenly cares about koalas endangered by wind farms.

Australia’s teacher shortage is real, it’s getting worse, and it’s impacting on teaching and learning.

We need full and fair funding for public schools, a national workforce plan that tackles workload, and real support for teachers’ mental health.

Nowhere is this year’s theme for #worldteachersday
“together for teachers, together for tomorrow” more fitting than in Palestine.
A deliberate act of solidarity by @eduinternational.bsky.social to mark this day in Palestine with members of the General Union of Palestinian Teachers. 👇🏼
A very powerful #WorldTeachersDay from Palestine, where teachers are working with 50% pay in solidarity with their community.

Education International was there representing our solidarity and commitment to our colleagues, to education, to peace.

This is the same Party that supported (among other vile things) sending pig-iron to fascist Japan, the apartheid regime in South Africa, labelling Mandela a terrorist, the Vietnam War, the Pinochet regime in Chile, the Iraq war etc. Always on the wrong side of history.

It's been at the back of my mind for a few days, so I'll just put it there and then go back to nicer thoughts, and posts. There is no need to talk about a Reichstag-like false flag . As I see it, Kirk is to MAGA what murdered S.A. Horst Wessel, turned into a "martyr" by Goebbels, was to the Nazis.

And still the only person in prison for these crimes is the man who blew the whistle
It remains legally safe to refer to him as a war criminal.

I’m not an activist, but as someone who reports on people who are, I see some activists sneering at people who are late to a cause they’ve fought hard for. Surely the point of activism is pitching to the centre to make change? Not alienating or mocking those whose minds you surely wanted to change?

Another gross breach of international law from Israel as it again abducts civilians from international waters. This time it’s the crew of the Handala who were trying to bring food and medicine to the people of Gaza, to break the siege and mass starvation imposed by Israel.
