[Farmers for Climate Action @farmingforever]

As yesterday's IPCC report shows, we need to take action to stop digging up and burning fossil fuels.

The Federal Government is pushing ahead with its key climate policy, the Safeguard Mechanism. We want to see emission's stopped at the source, not just 'offset'.

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

Instinctively this feels like the wrong path for many reasons, but I’d be interested in considered views on whether this kind of highly intensive food production could complement regenerative land management https://t.co/7lemnzBOnC

Bit late notice, but I'll be appearing on RRR radio with two of @SoilsforLife incredible farmers David Marsh and Harriet Finlayson at 9.45am (AEST) talking about soil and regenerative agriculture. Tune in! https://t.co/qRiLCIL9h2

“We don’t just need a planet roughly the same size and temperature as Earth; we need a planet that spent billions of years evolving with us. We depend completely on the billions of organisms that make up Earth’s biosphere. Without them, we cannot survive.” https://t.co/aLiN9oCZiZ

The background to everything we do, it’s scary and yet we must accept what’s happening and do what we can to maintain functioning planetary systems

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

@DavidPocock Look forward to meeting you in the new year @DavidPocock to talk about how we're working with farmers to regenerate soils and landscapes

Don’t suppose anyone knows what this is? On mulch under a peach tree. I wonder if it is related to the curly leaf…? Definitely some sort of fungus. Welcome ideas! @BiodiversityGuy you’re always my go to!

The amount of trash washing up on our local beaches in Melbourne’s south after recent rain is pretty confronting

@benraue Yes, although I’d argue the main story is not country vs city either, when you look below the seat count.

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

@benraue Heard you on @7ampodcast today, great episode but I would take issue with your assessment that ‘the country seats stood still’. This plays into a very unhelpful narrative of a city/country divide on climate that appears to be evaporating.

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

@benraue Plus even if the sitting member didn’t change, their priorities can change based on how their electorate voted.

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

See analysis from Farmers for Climate action https://t.co/tFIkb08y4X and good article from Gab Chan in the Guardian https://t.co/pUzTqj1gn4

[Eli Court @EliRCourt]

While few country seats changed hands, there was a widespread swing against the Coalition that can quite plausibly be connected to voter concern about climate change.
