@DSORennie @TheEconomist Awesome work David. Hope @TheEconomist finds someone as skilled, balanced and decent and China give them the required visa and travel permissions. If not we will all be the poorer.

@DrClimate @gabriellecj All in favour of preferential voting (for birds as well as HoA). But what about the stunning performance of our most determined resident Bar-tailed Godwit 234684.

[Jack Gilding @JackAtBackroad]

Lots of scary graphs around lately, loss of sea ice, global land temperature. This is the one to focus on:

Your daily reminder: everything that's 'locked in' for climate change, as bad as it is, is basically tiny compared to what we have the collective power, the strength and the knowledge to avoid

@HughSaddler @lyrebird1 @MondayStory This is very sad. Hugh was a legend and a delight to work with.

@jonkudelka bit late notice - I'll owe you one

@RnaudBertrand Before hyperventilating about this balloon I strongly recommended reading the fascinating Wikipedia entry on the Lockheed U-2 https://t.co/rrlkCLPAxo

Japan Tried to Build a Hydrogen Society. It Backfired Spectacularly. https://t.co/Ye6fyOX7no

Guilty as charged. Also overestimating how quickly one will get around to installing said purchased Bunnings hardware.

I just heard a wonderful expression: the Bunnings-Kruger effect – when you overestimate your renovation or DIY home handy skills

@justinsmithword How does this scam even work? Money deposited to an Australian bank account (specifically CommBank, Martin Place, Sydney) should be easily trackable back to the perpetrator.

@4paulmcardle @dylanjmcconnell @allanoneilaus @WattClarity I have no idea, but looking forward to @4paulmcardle further info. Still weird at 2pm (AEDST time) price in Tas $1540 and minus $58 in Vic but power flowing north! Gas generation up to 120MW at one point.

@DrClimate Thanks @DrClimate It is indeed THE climate bill and very few of the amendments proposed in the LegCo passed. I was unaware it passed Assembly yesterday. More details and a formal Climate Tasmania response will have to wait until next week.

@MonteBovill Why does any elected body have an even number of members. Seems like a recipe for stalemate. Does the mayor have a casting vote?

[All Our Yesterdays @our_yesterdays]

On this day (November 1st) in 1989, "Greenhouse Action Australia" was launched.

@DanJCass writes brilliantly about what happened, what went wrong, what can be learnt. A must-read and a PLEASE SHARE WIDELY.

I really really hope no-one does a milkshake duck on my new hero Bar-tailed Godwit 234684 (and welcome to Tasmania)

Todd, hate to be a pedant, but since we are talking about English teachers, I think you mean "easy to underestimate" or "hard to overstate".
