#HSBC suspends head of responsible investing who called the #ClimateCrisis ‘shrill’ “Who cares if #Miami is six metres underwater in 100 years? #Amsterdam has been six metres underwater for ages and that’s a really nice place,” Stuart Kirk had said theguardian.com/business/2022/…

Extreme heat is on the rise with significant increases in the length, intensity and frequency of #HeatWaves in many regions. The best way to protect Australians from worsening heat is to contribute to efforts to deeply and rapidly reduce #greenhouse gas emissions this decade.

Ditch gas! I'm (finally) having gas disconnected from my house this week, shifting to all-electric. Making good use of the increasing % of renewable energy in the grid (including 10kw generated on my roof) and saving money. #EnergyTransition gaining momentum! #ClimateAction

The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to a healthy democracy. This has been a heavy-handed and punitive response to Blockade Australia #ClimateCrisis actions, intended to discourage non-violent protest.
