Me, reminding people again that continuing to burn fossil fuels will unequivocally increase global temperatures, resulting in increased extreme weather and higher insurance premiums (as well as a lot of other problems)

I took a look at where things are at in the insurance market post-Cyclone Gabrielle.
Story includes some interesting comments from an actuary, who helps price premiums, EQC, the insurance council and a HB property owner.

It’s almost as though public broadcasters are too scared to report facts. I wonder why 🤷🏽♀️

If Australia wants to move away from relying on income taxes it can copy Norway and start taxing oil and gas export profits at 78%
This year the Norwegian Ministry of Finance estimates gov revenue from oil and gas will be $A121B or $A89,000 for every family of four.

imagine losing a loved one because they caught covid in hospital, a place they should’ve been safe.
is it ok for kids to catch covid in ICU? cancer patients? nurses?
as hospitals roll back precautions, too many are catching the virus and dying, doctors say

Australians keep buying huge cars in huge numbers. If we want to cut emissions, this can’t go on writes Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI
We subsidise the purchase of twin-cab utes and charge GST on bikes and public transport. It’s absurd #insiders #auspol

This must be stopped.
Civilians were herded to Rafah &now this giant refugee camp set to be invaded.
They’ve got nowhere left to go.
Aid agencies warn of a ‘bloodbath’.
Labor must immediately call on Israel gov to stop the invasion.
Where are you, PM? abc.net.au/news/2024-02-10/n…

Australians are sick of politicians giving jobs to their mates.
After criticising the 85 dodgy Coalition appointments to the AAT, Labor has included a back door for more political appointments in their legislation.
This needs to be fixed.

Two things we keep getting consistently wrong:
1⃣ Vastly overestimating future coal demand
2⃣ Massively underestimating future generation of solar PV

Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies: I said I would not protect our NATO allies. In fact, I would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want

When #Netanyahu invaded #Gaza he asked civilians to flee south to avoid death. More than 1 million did. Now he has asked them to move again as his army is attacking the south. They have nowhere to go. It's time for people of #Israel to remove this irresponsible maniac from power,

Excellent opportunity here👇to ask @PaulFletcherMP about Peter Dutton’s lies and scare campaign against a strong New Vehicles Efficiency Standard.
Ask Paul Fletcher why the Liberal and National Parties are so opposed to slashing fuel bills and car pollution.

Bluescope, BHP and Rio working on direct reduction and melter techs to enable clean steel production using most common Australian ores (which are trickier than high quality magnetite used in other early projects). Aim for pilot operating in 2027.
