U.S. coal production hit its lowest point in last 4 decades
Great news for the environment and #publichealth, but the main reason coal is dying is because it can’t compete on price, despite government attempts to prop the industry up #uspolitics #auspol)

Climate change is cause of bushfire disasters and fossil fuel industry must pay, experts say
(Why shouldn’t an industry that is destroying a safe climate & #publichealth pay💰 for the damage it causes @ScottMorrisonMP & @AlboMP?🤔 #auspol) abc.net.au/news/2020-07-30/f…

A developer in conjunction with @delwp seeks to make a virtue out of the slaughter of a population of kangaroos 🦘 who have had the misfortune of being hemmed in by “development”. What horrors await the #Anglesea community and our local wildlife @DanielAndrewsMP? 🤔 #SaveAnglesea

This is just the beginning, there is so much to do. I don’t want to leave anything on the field when my time comes in this space. I’m going to give it everything I have to ensure we leave this place to our kids better than we found it. #auspol #nsw

The Great Climate Migration Has Begun
“As their land fails them, hundreds of millions of people will be forced to choose between flight or death. The result will almost certainly be the greatest wave of global migration the world has seen.”

BUMS are appalled by this greenist, leftist critique of our beloved @dailytelegraph. 😡 Elites should be able to manipulate the opinions of the Plebian Class with impunity! How else will we be able to prop up the #fossilfuel industry to protect our effluence?🤷♀️💰 #auspol #nswpol

“What worries many scientists is that this new climate era we are entering means many places now experience weather conditions beyond anything local ecosystems - or indeed human communities - have evolved to endure”

Life is tough in lockdown - even for fossil fuel billionaires.🙁 BUMS* CEO2 Ms Coral Bleach has gained comfort from the fact that Australia is now the biggest #FossilFuel exporter, which is sure to turbocharge her effluence! #auspol #COP26

We remind @NCCCgovau, @ScottMorrisonMP, @AlboMP, @AdamBandt and @DanielAndrewsMP that the #COVID19 emergency cannot and must not be used as a fig leaf 🍃 to prop up the ecocidal earth 🌏 and health wrecking #fossilfuel industry #auspol #springst #ClimateEmergency #ecocide #COP26

You're responsible for 9,000 square km of bushfire-prone land. So where do you put the planned burn
(Responsible decision makers would also seek to avoid unnecessary developments in the line of fire @surfcoastnotes and @rwynnemp #springst) abc.net.au/news/2020-06-14/h…

Bright orange plume from mining blast heightens air quality concerns for town

The @ScottMorrisonMP government needs to understand that the Australian community wont tolerate cherry 🍒 picking when it comes to acting on science. Addressing the #ClimateEmergency must be front and centre in the post #COVID19 recovery 🌏 #auspol #springst #ClimateAction #COP26

In the next few months, the VIC gov will announce which companies have won the right to explore for oil and gas in state waters in western VIC.
Bad for climate. Bad for marine life. Bad for tourism.
Say NO to new offshore oil and gas >
