@episode2480 As far as his age goes... I dunno, to me that is important, particularly in a story like this. Because watching a tired looking middle-aged guy finally succeed is very different from watching a precocious young man conquer the world, right?

@episode2480 Have you seen Ridley's The Duelists? Probably my favourite film set in the Napoleonic era. So I'm still going, even if it is Marvel-esque (in a nerdy kind of way)

Spot the difference.

Here's a handy checklist:

- in the pockets of fossil fuel billionaires
- not doing enough to reduce emissions
- doing the bidding of political donors
- spineless coward
- prepared to sell his own soul to keep himself in office

If we get the summer that we are being warned about, this is a photo @AlboMP may come to bitterly regret.

After blowing the whistle on unethical debt collection practises at the ATO, fmr ATO officer @Richard_D_Boyle is facing the prospect of life in prison. Please write to your local MP & demand the govt step in. This cannot go on. #IStandWithRichard

We were informed about the logging of these giants on Sunday and so we protested in the forests today. The logging must end. The chainsaws are felling some of the grandest trees left on Earth. All under PM @AlboMP authority.

[Bob Brown Foundation @BobBrownFndn]

Bob Brown has made a plea to PM Albanese from deep in Tasmania’s forest destruction Zone: “You should come & see this! This forest of giants includes the most beautiful natural fernery I have ever seen. It is being turned into a sqallid pile of smashed branches and mud. @AlboMP

⁦⁦@watkinstweeting⁩ Tell No One comes out today. It’s a thoroughly compelling and compassionate memoir and an incredibly important story. I highly recommend it!

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

I don’t think many people will be pleased that Labor looks ready to vote with the Liberals to rush through a weak fossil fuel tax endorsed by the gas industry.

That’s not real climate action.

It’s the same old politics and inaction.

The climate is boiling and we’re fed up.

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

The hypocrisy here is truly staggering!

New/extended coal mines, fracking, Middle Arm, a truly meagre emissions reduction target, land clearing continues…

Stop gaslighting Australians.

[Daniel Bleakley @DanielBleakley]

With recent data appearing to show that planet earth is now experiencing runaway global warming, why isn’t every journalist in the country asking the Australian government why it continues to approve new coal and gas mines?

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Dear @AlboMP @BowenChris & @Tanya_Plibersek,
Earth is in deep trouble. The signs are terrifyingly clear, they have been for quite some time. Urgent warnings from climate scientists have been ignored.

What are you going to do? What will your legacy be?

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

Excellent story: the Australian Government is defying science by approving new coal and gas and those who say, ‘be patient, small steps, don’t make the perfect, the enemy of the good’, are enabling and excusing delay which is the new denial. #SafeguardMechanism #43% #auspol

[Edgar McGregor @edgarrmcgregor]

Honestly, It is becoming harder to be a climate optimist. What the planet is going through right now is unreal.

Even the most careful and orthodox scientists I know appear on edge.

For every $ invested in capital works for private schools, public schools get between 27 and 50cents. FFS! How long must our kids put up with this blatant inequality? https://t.co/AKIZS066QN
