Anyone with a charcoal BBQ has some sense of the challenge facing coal as a power source. Coal takes a while to heat up and you need to keep adding more to keep it hot.

What aussie investors can be looking out for at #COP26: coal out, Australia being excluded, huge investment opportunities

@terencewoodnz Because there's no upcoming election in NZ, obviously

Very clear directive by @rimohib about what #auspol can be doing right now for #Afghanistan

@nomadiclucie Has anyone studied how many more spam calls there has been since we've had to write our phone number every time we enter a venue? I'm up to at least once a day.

My uncle's dingo gets a write-up in the @smh https://t.co/wWp81SAtpJ

We can argue whether #NedKelly was a hero or villain. But in one thing there is no argument: he looked much fiercer with a great big bushy beard!

My Joe Biden interactions:

1) made everyone wait 3 hours for a speech in Sydney
2) I left his speech during the Munich Security Conference and went to a bar instead

You can't fault Biden on is his desire to lose a crowd. I guess that's what people really want right now

[Murray Ackman @MurrayAckman]

Looks like the @smh is using the Ben Harper school of journalism - take an adjective and use it's antonym

So do masks work then?

I think #ESG is 'mainstream' - with 72% of global institutional investors conduct formal reviews of ESG disclosures (up from 32% two years ago).

Relying on someone else to break the Chatham House rule seems a bit like buying stolen goods.

"She was speaking under Chatham House Rules; The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age did not attend but sources who dialled in relayed some of her comments."

ESG research report by @USGAO includes a pretty succint table of the relevant ESG disclosures for public companies: https://t.co/wIBDvqFGY5

@Omar_Dehen just FYI, rodney king was beaten by police, not killed like you said in your report

As a follow up to those who are thinking about gas as a "recovery" fuel... be aware the latest research shows it's pretty much as bad as coal.

@FlorenceGaub I'd ask "what are these numbers being used for" and "what would be different if these numbers didn't exist." I suspect for many countries, 'accurate' numbers wouldn't mean different policies anyway. International comparisons are more for bragging rights, rather than policy

[Murray Ackman @MurrayAckman]

I'd take bad data over no data any day of the week. Bad data can at least tell you something (eg. that someone feels compelled to lie about something). I think the problem you're addressing is the 'sanctity' of numbers in a spreadsheet (particularly for country-level data)

[Murray Ackman @MurrayAckman]

@FlorenceGaub

Data is information. Just as you can learn something from studying propaganda, you can also learn something from studying cooked/incomplete/flawed numbers. Most numbers we use are still entered by humans

VE celebrations 8 May 1945 at Trafalgar Square - noticed 'Kia-Ora' written on a bus. @NZDefenceForce do you know what's behind this?
