Howard-era native forest logging exemptions must be ditched from our nature laws “We have a completely different context nearly 25 yrs later. We’re facing a climate crisis, an extinction crisis & an environment crisis. This needs to be addressed.” #auspol theguardian.com/environment/20…

The majority of earth's scientists now believe we are headed for at least 2.5°C of warming. We're in a climate emergency. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

What does it take for Australian mainstream media and political class to stop reporting #Israel neutrally. It is a rogue state. #Terrorism #warcrimes #genocide are its weapons.

How will insurance industry survive global heating and increasingly destructive, frequent extreme weather events? Fires and floods are raging across the Northern hemisphere right now on an unprecedented scale. Has any economist assessed consequences of insurance collapse? #auspol

Morning everyone. Could we possibly not do this? theguardian.com/environment/20…

Australia must condemn Israel’s mass atrocities across Lebanon which have reportedly killed 492 people including dozens of civilians: 35 children & 58 women. Israel’s indiscriminate attacks came without effective warning to civilians & clearly violate international law. No

Australia has just approved the expansion of three coal mines

Approving extensions on *thermal* coal mines. Anyone out there arguing the govt is better than the LNP on climate policy really needs to stop being footy club cheerleaders and wake up to what is being done. Emissions are rising under this govt.

If you say that you believe in global warming while also approving new coal mines until 2064, you're either lying, or you just don't care and want the world to burn.

We need climate action not selfies Minister Tanya Plibersek. Posting Bilby photos while approving 1.3 billion tonnes of extra coal mine emissions equal to the yearly emissions of 65 million Aussie families would be funny if it wasn’t so insulting, especially to our children.

Another 3 coal mine approvals should help that along nicely

Today's headlines: -Earth may have breached 7 of 9 planetary boundaries -Climate change is fueling extreme weather & chaos in the jet stream -Last coal power station in UK prepares to close Federal ALP approves 3 new coal mine extensions in NSW

The Anthony Albanese gov says its hands are tied by the law when approving new coal mines. Then delays the law reforms that could ensure climate impacts of proposed coal (and gas) mines are assessed and considered. #EPBC #NaturePositive Australian Conservation Foundation

Japan is reselling Australian LNG. For a profit. #auspol #climate According to our research, in the last 4 years, Australians gave away the gas that made $149 billion worth of LNG, royalty-free. Yasmine Wright Gittins, Anne Kantor Fellow, breaks it down.

The nerve of Senator Penny Wong to claim she cares about sea-level rises when her gov just approved 2 massive thermal coal mine extensions. What will it take for Australian Labor to listen to the science!? #NoNewFossilFuels
