Just watched Strong Female Lead. The sexist behaviour towards our first female PM, from the Coalition, the media led by Alan Jones & anti-carbon tax lobbyists was truly disgusting. Congrats to @JuliaGillard for holding her ground & achieving so much. We still have so far to go.
@mcannonbrookes There is a stalemate in our government, the changes we need will be led by community and business. The more those two genuinely work together to meet ours and the planets collective needs, the better off we'll be. We can't wait for govt to catch up or we'll burn waiting.
"Things are worse than we predicted just a decade ago." Climatologist @MichaelEMann says we are witnessing a once unimaginable crisis โ and climate inaction is only adding fuel to the fire. #60Mins
Two things we must do: mitigate the inputs and adapt to the impacts.
Simultaneously, we must slash our fossil fuel emmissions as well as prepare for more extreme weather events driven by climate change.
Climatologist @MichaelEMann describes Australia as a โtinderboxโ and tells #60Mins the fires and weather conditions he has witnessed here are unprecedented and a frightening reality of climate change.
Here's a good pulse on Australians thoughts and feelings on climate change, action and how willing we are to change. #climateemergency https://t.co/k6CcPkrEhy
Are there no penalties for knowingly pedalling dangerous misinformation in the media in order to support a specific political party's view? Any legal eagles out there know?
Sigh. And on and on they go, Newscorp ostriches. Head in the sand. While the infernos of inexorable climate change descend upon them, and upon us all....
@TimWilsonMP@AdamBandt I'm interested to know Tim, what are your counter offers to help build our society into fairer and more resilient communities who will actually still have a planet and safe climate to live in? I'll wait...
Disrespectful that โฆโฆ@JimMolanโฉ is allowed to deny the science on #qanda on behalf of Govt after watching Australians fight for their survival on #BlackSummer Effective climate policy needs to be a moral question for every MP. #auspol https://t.co/BLSSbFC8Lq
@NyadolNyuon I work specifically in climate adaptation after spending the past 10 years on mitigation and now because of inaction, we must adapt as well or we'll all burn. To be clear, we must do both and we must do more. Inaction is not an option. Net zero emissions must be achieved.
@MichaelEMann I finally joined the Twitter world because of #qanda last night... maybe I'll regret it, but I'm hoping hearing from more folks like you Professor Mann as well as Kristy McBain, Victor Steffanson & Cheryl McCarthy, will help me get through my existential fear on what lies ahead.
