Climate colonialism = @AlboMP's 🇦🇺 govt passing Sea Dumping Bill to enable CO2 dumping by a single company—@SantosLtd—in the depleted Bayu-Undan gas reservoir in Timor-Leste's maritime territory using utterly unproven CCS tech

Methane pollution “pouring out” of Australian gas infrastructure, study finds

Remember this next time @APPEALtd @WoodsideEnergy @SantosLtd @Chevron try to claim they’re part of the climate solution https://t.co/6uVaYiIaqB

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Climate-fueled extremes are endangering people everywhere. Why aren't we seeing an immediate response? Because they're only dismantling 1 barrier to action, psychological distance. Lack of efficacy and solution aversion remain; here's how to tackle them: https://t.co/RqEia8DRpK

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

If you're worried about climate and want to make a difference,

🎙️ start a conversation
🤲 join a climate action group
💰 make your $ count
💡spark ideas at work & school
🗳️ hold politicians accountable
🏡 reduce your 👣 AND amplify by talking about it

A very moving talk at #MMM6 by @DrMelvaTrevino where she shared quotes from conchera communities in Ecuador about their relationship to mangroves and livelihood.
So grateful for the diversity of perspectives represented at this incredible conference

[Sophie McNeill @Sophiemcneill]

Brilliant move: Senator @DavidPocock seeks a 'duty of care' in Australian law that would require governments to consider the impact of climate harm on young people in their decision-making.

How could the @AlboMP government possibly vote against that?

Fantastic data-driven plenary by @AndreRovai at #mmm6:
1. We need to fill data gaps with climate variation in mind
2. Sea-level rise transitions have implications for carbon

[Alex Pearse @AlexPearse7]

What mangrove genus has the most potential to stabilize sediment? @TwomeyAlice conducted a global review of #mangrove geometry and modeled bed shear stress due to vegetation #mmm6 #coastalprotection

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

1/ You’ve seen the fires
You seen the floods
You’ve read the news reports
You’re scared
And now you want to do something about it

But what? And how?

A (longish) thread

[Sue Higginson 🌳 Greens MP @SueHigginson_]

SHAME NSW LABOR SHAME. They’re about to destroy Newry Forest. They’ve put up locked gates & 24/7 security. It’s one of the most amazing forests of the promised Great Koala National Park. We’re in a climate crisis & NSW Labor is taking away our defence and survival path! #nswpol

[Sophie McNeill @Sophiemcneill]

Absolutely outrageous.

Fossil fuel giant @WoodsideEnergy is trying to intimidate & silence climate activists by threatening to sue protesters for 'financial damages' & bankrupt them

This won't work Woodside. You're the ones on the wrong side of history!

Standing room only @mmm6 as @BrookeConroy13 demonstrates why we need to dig deeper to understand #mangrove root growth contributions to #BlueCarbon sequestration
