Climate colonialism = @AlboMP's 🇦🇺 govt passing Sea Dumping Bill to enable CO2 dumping by a single company—@SantosLtd—in the depleted Bayu-Undan gas reservoir in Timor-Leste's maritime territory using utterly unproven CCS tech thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news… @BenAbbatangelo for @SatPaper

Climate-fueled extremes are endangering people everywhere. Why aren't we seeing an immediate response? Because they're only dismantling 1 barrier to action, psychological distance. Lack of efficacy and solution aversion remain; here's how to tackle them: youtube.com/watch?v=nkMIjbDt…

A very moving talk at #MMM6 by @DrMelvaTrevino where she shared quotes from conchera communities in Ecuador about their relationship to mangroves and livelihood. So grateful for the diversity of perspectives represented at this incredible conference – at Cartagena, Colombia

Brilliant move: Senator @DavidPocock seeks a 'duty of care' in Australian law that would require governments to consider the impact of climate harm on young people in their decision-making. How could the @AlboMP government possibly vote against that? theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Fantastic data-driven plenary by @AndreRovai at #mmm6: 1. We need to fill data gaps with climate variation in mind 2. Sea-level rise transitions have implications for carbon

SHAME NSW LABOR SHAME. They’re about to destroy Newry Forest. They’ve put up locked gates & 24/7 security. It’s one of the most amazing forests of the promised Great Koala National Park. We’re in a climate crisis & NSW Labor is taking away our defence and survival path! #nswpol

Absolutely outrageous. Fossil fuel giant @WoodsideEnergy is trying to intimidate & silence climate activists by threatening to sue protesters for 'financial damages' & bankrupt them This won't work Woodside. You're the ones on the wrong side of history! abc.net.au/news/2023-07-27/w…

Standing room only @mmm6 as @BrookeConroy13 demonstrates why we need to dig deeper to understand #mangrove root growth contributions to #BlueCarbon sequestration
