Kayakers vs coal ship. Just look at the size of this thing! The coal that is shipped out from Newcastle accounts for almost 1% of global emissions. Our coal is driving climate breakdown.

2. I won’t delete this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive. But I won’t post anything here after then. Will you join me in setting January 20th (a significant date) for the Xodus?

WA Government’s solution to Woodside’s Burrup hub gas export expansion emissions being so high (over 6 BILLION tonnes) is to stop the EPA assessing its emissions. energynewsbulletin.net/polic…

My first tango with Peter Dutton. Sadly didn’t get a whole lot of time for questions. Costing/timeline for costing for nuclear still TBC
Peter Dutton questioned how he can claim the “the vast majority of the public in Collie” support Nuclear after he avoided the public during his visit. Peter Dutton accuses ABC journalist of being an “advocate” & attacks the ABC. Great fight back by journo, Dutton smashed💥

It's very exciting because Caz Heise is now launching her federal election campaign for #Cowper at the Jetty Beach House, Coffs Harbour. She's a genuine Teal, and an amazing candidate to challenge the incumbent Nationals member. Last election Caz came close. This one she'll win!

There’s also the freedom to not listen to your free speech & you’re denying me that 🙄
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a real Elon post. Searching Elon's X profile yields no results for this post, although Elon has stated in the past that X will soon remove the block feature in favor of a "stronger form of mute", though it is unclear when it will be implemented. x.com/search?q=from%… bbc.com/news/business-…

Where is the hairy chested National Farmers Federation and affiliated organisations on this after their rally in Canberra …stick on hairs don’t last long.
Farmers on the Western Downs have taken matters into their own hands in their fight against mining companies. Producers say properties are still 'sinking' due to the effects of gas extraction. 7NEWS.com.au @joshvanstaden #7NEWS

In Victoria, feral deer are protected and dingoes aren't. Hmm
Vic Gov has announced the continuation and expansion of a policy that allows the killing of native dingoes in Victoria, ignoring the wishes and lore of Traditional Custodians and advice from scientists. Taungurung Traditional Custodian Matthew Shanks said: “Yirrangan (dingoes) are important to maintain balance on Country through their role as an apex predator and cultural entity, providing overall management of other plant and animal species across landscapes.”

"It's one of the highest polluting mines in Australia. These are really bad projects for the climate." "It's quite frankly shocking that they're being approved in 2024." @R_o_d_C joins @10NewsFirst to discuss the Government's 3 new coal mine approvals. #auspol

#Breaking @ANZ_AU, @NAB and @Westpac have betrayed shareholders, customers and staff – and broken their own #climate promises – by providing oil and gas producer Santos a $1.24 billion loan.

Peter Dutton insults Australians by not releasing costings on nuclear & glossing over timing-we would rely on fossil fuels & expensive ageing power plants for decades. Even if SMRs have a small role past 2040, this debate is a disingenuous & unhelpful distraction in 2024. #auspol

It is absolute insanity to put a coal mine in a food bowl #Bundaberg Just as it's absolute insanity to turn the #DarlingDowns food bowl into a toxic #gasfield, wrecking our groundwater and causing our land to sink (Arrow Energy's Surat Gas Project). Qld has failed to enact & enforce laws to protect our most prized food growing regions from the damaging impacts of the extractive resources industry. The Regional Planning Interests Act must be strengthened to ensure these areas and our ongoing #foodsecurity are protected once and for all. @StevenJMiles @DavidCrisafulli abc.net.au/news/2024-09-24/b…

When you’re an environment minister like @tanya_plibersek, it’s all about getting the balance right between saying the right thing and doing the wrong thing for the environment. #auspol #climatechange

SHAME @tanya_plibersek @AlboMP ‼️‼️ Today 100 people turned out to snap actions at both Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s office - calling out their governments approval of three new climate wrecking coal projects ❌. 📸 Aman Kapur
