We know almost nothing of the world we are swallowing whole. Yet even if we are losing we will never give up. We will do it for the Bramble Cay melomys.

“The ultimate objective is to legitimize the large-scale reliance and deployment of abatement technologies like CCS as an alternative to a full and complete phase out of fossil fuels.”
And so they fucking should.

This is a staggering statistic.
This is the sort of shit that makes you realise that capitalism really is broken and socialism really is the only solution.
The wealthiest 1% contribute more to carbon emissions than the bottom 66%, a report from Oxfam reveals.
Termed as the 'polluter elite', they are depleting the Earth's resources to a destructive extent, according to Oxfam's extensive research into climate disparity.
This 1%, numbering 77 million, encompasses billionaires, millionaires, and individuals earning over US$140,000 a year.
Remarkably, the carbon footprint of merely a dozen billionaires is comparable to the energy consumption of 2.1 million households; and in 2019, this elite group was responsible for 16% of all CO2 emissions, contributing to over a million premature deaths.

Yet another biosecurity failure
Instead of dressing all the boarder force in black uniforms & giving them automatic weapons, maybe they should have done some inspections around our ports!
Varroa & fire ants are a much larger problem than a few refugees fleeing tyranny!

Did you know that Nannas are non-party political? We annoy all politicians equally and yet we dream of a time when politicians too see the sense in a non-partisan approach to climate.
So thank you @RisingTideAus for bringing Green, Red and Brown together at last!
This is vastly more important than most Australians realise.
MASSIVE BREAKING NEWS!
3 FIRE ANT NESTS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN NSW AT MURWULLIMBAH! 🔥🐜
This + inflation means we need urgent funding review because eradication is still possible, but $592mil will not be enough. Don't wait 3yrs to find that out @AlboMP @MurrayWatt @tanya_plibersek
Fire ants are little arsonists: they torch biodiversity, fry electrical systems, and their stings burn like hell. Once they move in, they muscle out local bugs, wreak havoc on crops, and can cause allergic shock in wildlife and pets. #InvasiveSpecies #EcosystemUnderFire
Fire ants are ecological terrorists in Oz. Without extra cash to blast these invaders, we're looking at a future where our native species get bulldozed & our outdoor lifestyle gets stung. Investment now saves our biodiversity & our backyards later. #Australia #FireAntFreeFuture – at Perth, Western Australia

BREAKING: The NSW Government has ditched plans for the Narrabri Special Activation Precinct - a fossil fuel-fed industrial hub originally designed as a demand centre for Santos' Narrabri Gas Project.
It's yet another blow to Santos' NSW CSG ambitions.

We are killing species at 1000 times the natural rate
The new estimate of the global rate of extinction comes from Stuart Pimm of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina ... It updates a calculation Pimm’s team released in 1995, that human activities were driving species out of existence at 100 to 1000 times the background rate (Science, doi.org/fq2sfs).
It turns out that Pimm’s earlier calculations both underestimated the rate at which species are now disappearing, and overestimated the background rate over the past 10 to 20 million years.

Reducing pollution from aerosol particles would improve air quality. It could also increase the amount of sunlight accessible to plants—enhancing their ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and mitigate climate change. carnegiescience.edu/improved…
