The former Government 'hid' this report, but to some extent, most Australians are hiding from the truths it reveals. It's difficult to confront, but that difficulty pales beside the implications of continuing to pretend it is not so.

What a lovely surprise!

In case we thought Emanuel was cute. pattrice jones gives a larger story of who the fools are.

What I imagine all writers who take on climate issues hope to do - inspire others to fight climate change; and for me, to have folks see the harms we are causing and responsibilities we have to beings other than humans.

“If there is one thing consistent about the oil and gas majors’ position on climate, it’s their utter inability to tell the truth” - A powerful illustration of the intersection of the crises of truth, climate and democracy. theguardian.com/environment/20…

With Arendt, Christoff asks: "given what we know about climate change, at what point does enabling the exploitation of coal, oil and gas resources – through exploration, mining, direct use or export – embody culpable moral complacency?" NOW. theconversation.com/the-book-that-…

Not only is 💧🔥🐨 Prof Susan Park's work critical, but she is a scholar who models ethics and generosity. Wonderful to see her work funded.

Shimmer is the most extraordinarily gift, act of care, ethics of generosity and love. It will be a blessing to celebrate it and the one who created it together.

The amazing #GroundedImaginaries team across India/Australia created this podcast - stories of communities grappling with climate change. We'd love folks to listen and contribute their own stories of creative and courageous ways of facing the future. #polycrisis

The bunker and the blossoms. What late winter looks like now.

Climate driven disasters are devastating animals directly and indirectly. As bears' habitats burn in British Columbia, and they search for 'safe spaces' - i.e. those protected because they are human habitations - they face the new danger of being shot. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

The astonishing Alexis Pauline Gumbs again insists that the stories other earth beings tell about climate catastrophe get 'read': "I wanted to write a poem about how the extreme heat of the ocean is breaking my heart, but the whales beat me to it." harpersbazaar.com/culture/featur…

For anyone who will be in NYC on 9/26, I will be in conversation with the brilliant Mel Challenger about my book Summertime, reflecting on how the climate catastrophe is falling upon and experienced by beings other than humans. McNally Jackson mcnallyjackson.com/event/danielle…

Friday night brought 320mm + of rain overnight up where we live. Even the old time locals who are hardly climate activists are in shock. Roads washed away and water inundated buildings previously on higher ground. How to convey the rate of intensification of climate change?
