The anti-renewable group Rainforest Reserves Aust (RRA) faced intense scrutiny the inquiry into climate integrity on climate & energy. Senators probing whether the self-described conservation charity has been misleading communities & spreading inaccurate claims.

Anyone remember that famous image of Liberal MPs celebrating the passage of the carbon tax repeal bill? 2014.
Today's pre meeting 'power walk' by the conservatives had the same vibes.

Andrew Bolt continues his ridiculous campaign against the technology of the 21st century. Thankfully its behind the pay wall.
He clearly prefers a coal mine open cut to some turbines.

Research shows that ‘Long-unburnt snow gum forests (now) comprise ~1% of snow gum forests in the Alps’. The forests that our parents knew are now largely gone.
It’s strange how quickly this calamitous state of affairs has become ‘normal’.

No, its not the PM in a Joy Division tshirt.
Its way more important: historic snow pack data from Spencers Ck in the Snowy Mountains (1954 - 2025). The ridgeline chart shows the distribution of snow depth each year.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Liberals got themselves worked up over something real.

We had an excellent pre-fire season group exercise today: 60 people, variety of trucks, off track driving, asset protection, spot fires, control lines. Good refresher!

FOREST FIREFIGHTERS: IT'S TIME TO RALLY
From the AWU: Forest firefighters have been fighting for fair pay for months. They've voted. They've shown restraint. They've given the Depart every chance to do the right thing.
DEECA is still stalling. The time for patience is over.

A huge part of the problem is 'shifting baseline syndrome'. People look at what the land looks like now & assume its how its always been. We forget what it used to be like.

Apart from boring 'soy latte' jokes & suggesting that 'there are no greens' in the CFA, he claims that 'the Greens say that if we get rid of climate change, we don't need the CFA'.
Nah mate. NO ONE has ever claimed that.

This article is spectacular. From Spectator Aust.
Ian Plimer: 'Climate change politics is not about science, climate, environment, employment or cheap reliable energy. It is a step towards totalitarianism comprising a political scare campaign underpinned by demonstrably fake science & corruption'.

Isn't it sweet how The Australian is suddenly really worried about nature and biodiversity.
I'm sure the chance to kick renewables and The Greens has nothing to do with it.

I signed on as a vol to fight bushfires.
But being in a regional town, winter means car accidents, structural fires, gas leaks, patient lifts, etc.
Fire season prep (burn over, hazardous trees, etc) always feels like we're getting ready for the main game.

This is from yesterday's protest against the emergency services levy. At this point it is a completely partisan campaign, aligned with the Coalition. Not sure how they plan to get the ALP on board with this sort of messaging.

I have to admit this photo annoys me every time I see it.
Why are people able to leave their fire gear out in protest? Because the state gov gave us all a 2nd set of gear, which is way better to work in than the old heavier clothing. That neatly gets left out of the narrative every time.
