NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.

This explains so much.
People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity.
If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block.

It has basically become accepted that the Bondi terror attacks were perprated by leftist anti-genocide protestors who heard the phrase 'from the river to the sea' at the harbour bridge and were immediately activated into committing mass murder
NSW will move to ban phrase ‘globalise the intifada’ in crackdown on ‘hateful’ rhetoric. Here’s what we know so far
NSW parliament will sit next week to consider legislation to limit protests and ban hate speech in response to the Bondi attack, Chris Minns says

Never forget it took less than a day for the right-wing conservative forces in Australia politics and media to turn the Bondi massacre into their own political grandstanding in order to sew division.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that two years of weaponised genocidal mass murder in Gaza has probably made global political violence and terror *MORE* likely, not *LESS* likely

And that opposing mass death makes you anti-terrorism, not pro-terrorism

The vast majority of Australians, everyone I've spoken to, my Jewish friends, my Muslim friends, want to just be good to one another in this moment, and avoid inflaming the endless blame cycle.

A loud minority want otherwise. Unfortunately they're among the loudest in the nation
The press has an important role to play in stabilising the nation, by, eg., highlighting examples of unity and cooperation between the Jewish and Muslim communities. As it stands, they all seem to be beating the drums of racial tension. It is irresponsible and it must stop.

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.

Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

The JCPOA was one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of the 21st century. Multiple nations, several powerful blocks, a ton of oversight and the entire time diplomats were working it out domestic American media & politicians were demonizing it, lying about it, and trying to sabotage it. They won
Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible.

Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.

Because of [waves hands at the state of the world] there's been a bit of discussion about how difficult it is to sink oil tankers.

The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state.

Australia has a moral responsibility to stop approving new coalmines and gas fields, instead of exporting failed attempts to resuscitate overheating coral reefs.

Around the world, coral reefs are suffering. But scientists in high-income nations are developing new ways to build coral resilience. We have a duty to share our skills and build capacity elsewhere.
