"coal mining employs 38,000 people in Australia. Tourism employs 924,000. Climate-driven fires mean hotel rooms sitting empty, cafe meals not eaten, tours not taken." The coal industry is suffocating the economy. #ClimateEmergency #AustraliaFires #auspol theage.com.au/national/the-b…

Stop throwing coal onto this fire Not ScoMo Anthony Albanese theguardian.com/australia-news…

"This analysis shows that we're heading in the wrong direction." In my 1st EcoWatch post today, Environmental Integrity Project found that new oil and gas projects could emit 50-coal-plants worth of greenhouse gasses by 2025: ecowatch.com/us-oil-gas-emi…

Animal agriculture wreaks havoc on #health and the #environment. livekindly.co/animal-agricul…

Apparently wombats in fire effected areas are not only allowing other animals to take shelter in their deep, fire-resistant burrows but are actively herding fleeing animals into them. We’re seeing more leadership and empathy from these guys than the entire Federal government.

We knew #ClimateChange would cause mass migration of people. Not sure we predicted that scores of terrified #kangaroos would seek safe haven in residential streets. This is reality now. But still, let’s protect the coal industry, eh. #AustraliaBurning x.com/backt0nature/s…

This group collected 18 months of undercover footage inside dairy farms — this is the story that's hidden from you

How petty, how small, how childish do those politicians with the temerity to attack Greta Thunberg look! She speaks for science, idealism and hope; they embody an ignorance or cynicism so deep as to constitute depravity. #ActOnClimate #KeepItInTheGround theguardian.com/environment/co…

Every year, the world's five largest publicly owned oil and gas companies spend approximately $200 million on lobbying designed to control, delay or block binding climate-motivated policy. This is about the people vs. the elites. #KeepItInTheGround forbes.com/sites/niallmcc…

“We have lost the biological function of soils. We have got to reverse that,” “If we do it, we are turning the land into the big part of the solution for climate change.” #ActOnClimate #ClimateChange bit.ly/2WaEQ4M?utm_so…

“I find it hard to exaggerate the peril,” “This is the new extinction and we are half way through it. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it the worse it is going to get.” #ClimateChange #ActOnClimate vox.com/2019/4/12/1830…

A mere 100 companies are responsible for 71 percent of global climate emissions. These people are locking you and everything you love into a tomb. You have every right to be pissed all the way off. And we have to make them hear about it. #ClimateChange vox.com/first-person/2…

BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron and Total spend a combined $200 million per year(!) on lobbying “designed to control, delay, or block binding climate-motivated policy,” #KeepItInTheGround #ActOnClimate forbes.com/sites/walvanli…

“The rate of warming we are experiencing today is pretty much exactly what past climate models projected it would be,” This is both reassuring and terrifying at the same time. #ActOnClimate #KeepItInTheGround #ClimateChange theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is a campaign for students. We are going to cancel ALL student debt. We are going to make public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition- and debt-free. We are going to ensure young people have a livable planet with a Green New Deal.

Thread: Why the big fires of the past don't make the point that Craig Kelly thinks they do. Yesterday, Mr Kelly distributed this map from a book I wrote in 2006. I had mapped the 1939 NSW burnt area from witness interviews and old news reports. theaustralianalps.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bushfi…

You must watch this investigation by ⁦💧Michael West⁩ into relationship between coal, Lib Nat Parties & Murdoch. I knew there were links, but I didn’t realise they’re basically one coal organisation with different arms - politics, media and digging. youtu.be/NDtKFbXoQ6Q

For the mapped history across the Australian Alps, Ash forests have been more than eight times as likely to burn in the first 21 years following fire. Increasing fire frequency with #climatechange could create accelerating fire leading to ecosystem collapse. #Positivefeedbacks
