Rebels on Boonwurrung land. Sounding the Climate Crisis alarm. Protect nature & biodiversity. Stop using Fossil Fuels. Climate Justice. Act NOW.

"At one private logging site in the Yarra Ranges, foresters continue to clear-fell mountain ash metres from three colonies of critically endangered Leadbeater’s possums."

WHAT THE MEDIA DON'T TELL YOU

We're heading for 5°C or 6°C of heating over land, meaning goodbye to your local forest.

We've known this since the 1980s.

"The media are not doing their job properly" says leading climate scientist @rahmstorf.

The Extreme Weather Report, September 19, 2024:
This is your weather on fossil fuels.

[Punter's Politics @punterspolitix]

And the SCAM continues! We have the most expensive gas in the world... Yet export the most. You really can't make this stuff up... Because the captured polieshave already rigged the rules in favour of their gas mates and against we the punters! #australia #auspol

This is what the 30 million tonnes of ice that Greenland loses every hour looks like, if it were positioned next to the Eiffel tower before melting

Too right, it's too long! ✊🏼 National treasure Peter Garrett calls for the hounding of Aussie Dad Ben Pennings by coal loving Billionaire to stop. #DadVsAdani

[Peter Garrett @pgarrett]

This has gone on for too long. Happy to support citizens who oppose Adani, please join me. DOUBLE #DadvsAdani Donations! https://t.co/SSAErcUH8p

[Friends of the Earth @FoEAustralia]

Great to see this support for Ben from Peter Garrett.

Peter is completely correct: this has gone on for far too long.

If you can, please support Ben as he stands up against the mining giant Adani.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Fun fact

Gas exporters use more gas running their export terminals than all Australian power stations, more than all Australian manufacturing, almost 3X all Australian households

That's on top of exporting 70-80% of Australian gas

Apparently there's a gas shortage #auspol

[XRMorningtonPeninsula @PeninsulaXr]

Proving that community action works. We speak for the trees.

[Friends of the Earth @FoEAustralia]

This is huge news.

After decades of community campaigning, finally an end to native forest logging in Victoria.
Extra funds for transition of workers.

If true, it will be a historic win for community & environment.

Awesome action yesterday to oppose new anti-protest laws that could see citizen scientists & forest defenders fined over $20,000 or face jail time. We must #ProtectProtest & forests. @DanielAndrewsMP it's time to #EndNativeForestLogging now.

#Labor needs to start taking the #ClimateCrisis seriously, listen to the science, there is too much at stake to be flirting with fossil fuels, don’t fry our future @tanya_plibersek @Bowenchris

[Goongerah Environment Centre (GECO) @eastgippyforest]

98% of people at the mass mtg on the right to organise for climate and the environment voted for a mass action to protect Victoria’s forests, despite the anti-protest laws coming through in May! This is a huge feat. @IngridStitt should take note. #Proud2Protest

[Act on Climate Vic @ActOnClimateVic]

On this national day of action to #SafeguardOurClimate -

We are calling for @AlboMP to strengthen the safeguard mechanism through real emission cuts, ruling out unfettered offsets. ✊We want real emission cuts, not fake offsets! ✊ #AusPol

It’s incredibly difficult being a climate scientist in this society, at an emotional level. We can see the future, it is terrifying, and we are being ignored

[XRMorningtonPeninsula @PeninsulaXr]

@market_forces @NAB @SantosLtd Phil Chronican can’t be serious.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

This horrific climate flooding in Pakistan yesterday wasn't even mentioned in the New York Times. It is caused by burning fossil fuels. The fossil fuel industry systematically lies and blocks action. Climate damage is irreversible. The media is failing humanity and the Earth

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Remember, the reason carbon offsets are so popular with corporations is because they don't actually work - they are just cheap greenwashing.

[XRVicAus @XRVicAus]

Four more of our brave Rebels who were arrested during the Just Stop It campaign had their day in court today. No convictions were recorded for a second day running, with only small fines handed out.
