Breaking my twitter silence. My letter in yesterday’s (30/5/2025) The Age, re: the immoral NW Shelf gas extraction approval. The private profit and tax generated by the expansion of NW shelf gas project will be swamped by the future costs. Our children will live with its impacts.

Our article out today that I wrote  (with some colleagues from Monash and BoM) on the current ‘green’ drought across southern Australia, and how it relates to climate change. Feedback welcome!
