This bill is better than the laws we have now, and it is far better than what would have been delivered if the government had done a deal with the climate-deniers in the Coalition.

The EPBC Act changes are nowhere near perfect, but there have been some important improvements to the pretty shite original bill.

Good on the govt for negotiating with the Greens to deliver something not completely shit.

Maybe think on doing a bit more of that?

More than 20 years ago I wrote "The Dying Darling"
Our #DarlingBaaka was sick then. #BlindFreddy could see it.
The #indigenous people I spoke with had been saying that for decades.
It's much worse now.
Overall, the project found that the poor river condition in most indexes was due to the alteration of natural flow by water extraction and river regulation.
Yep.
#WaterIsLife
For months, people in remote Indigenous communities have been reporting skin rashes after going in the water, and a report confirms something is wrong with the river.

Seriously, who would do this? No one who understands how plants work or where food comes from!
FFS, stop burning fossil fuels!
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

I found myself tooting the gist of this quote in the last 24 hours. However, @amyremeikis.bsky.social has managed to say this far more eloquently than I managed.

Why hasn't the House of Representatives and the Senate censured "rotten to the core" Donald Trump since he demanded the execution of some of the greatest patriots in our country?

Please repost if you want both branches of government to censure this demented psychopath!

Said this on the #BBCWorldService this morning. We all - scientists and public - know what the issue is, but the politicians waste time arguing over words.

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.
