@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret What should Australia do with its AUKUS deal? Relying on nuclear subs that might be delivered in ten years, and are reportedly essential to our defense. Do they wait it out in the hope of a new administration in 4 years that honours the deal and/or start working on a plan B?

@SciNate that was the best explanation of a heat dome I've ever heard. Flawless! #abcnews #climatechange

[Phil Ireland @Phil_Ireland]

@SabraLane @EarthquakesGA Yep, all good. Just a mild tremmor. Hanging plants were moving tho! Lots of tremmor reports up on GA now.

@SabraLane @EarthquakesGA And Newcastle!

@carolduncan This really is terrifying and upsetting 😱

The cascading impacts of what is happening in the #USA will quickly become the major #coronavirus story. #auspol

@eytanlenko Turns out living is dangerous...

This is one of the best regularly updated graphs of #coronavirus numbers I've seen. Interpret it for yourself #auspol.

#MAGA indeed.
"we're number one!"

[Phil Ireland @Phil_Ireland]

Wait. All we had to do was watch this #Netflix series!? #coronavirusaus #auspol

[Phil Ireland @Phil_Ireland]

@RDNS_TAI And for the life of me, I can't understand why two consecutive church services with 250 people at each, is inherently less risky than one service of 500 people? #auspol #coronavirusaus

@jack_milroy Not sure Biden changed anyones mind there.... Pointing at the probably didn't help. Did you watch Bernie's fox news town hall?

The U.S. shale sector is getting completely killed. A complete bloodbath. Billions of dollars in equity wiped out.

Occidental Petroleum is down 44%. EOG is down 35%. Continental Resources down 40%. Smaller players like Parsley down more than 50%. #OOTT $OXY

First time in human history
Our planet's atmosphere CO2 baseline >415ppm
Not just recorded history
Not just prehistory
Not just 200k year of Homo sapiens
Not just 2m year evolution
Before Australopithecus emerged 8m yrs ago
Humans have no experience on a planet like this

2019 was Australia's hottest year on record. When were we supposed to hit 1.5 degrees of warming? #ClimateChange

[@timinclimate.bsky.social @timinclimate]

And there we have it. 2019 was officially the warmest year on record:

Meanwhile here in Australia the Oz WA edition didn’t have a single bushfire pic until page 4. They went with a pictorial coverage of the picnic races at hanging rock in vic.

[Phil Ireland @Phil_Ireland]

Australia continues to burn. Whole regions, thousands of people, are now being evacuated. #AustraliaBurns #SouthCoastFires #ClimateCrisis

[Zack Labe @ZLabe]

End of 2019 reminder - 5 warmest years on record are in the last 5 years.

Plot shows global climate variability (bumps) and climate change (long-term upward trend). The 12-month running mean is >1.2°C above pre-industrial levels.

[Eytan Lenko @eytanlenko]

Over 5 million hectares of Australia has been burnt in these fires. That’s over 12 million acres. The 1939 Black Friday bushfire in Victoria, considered one of the worst in human history, burnt under 5 million acres. We have never seen anything like this. https://t.co/tbx9dWHQc9

@jennymcallister @RTechAus And there is an increasing amount of evidence to back this up. In the EU there is research that shows there is a strong correlation between Facebook penitration and voting for extreme right parties.
