News & info on clean energy and low carbon transport, methane mitigation plus changes we need for a habitable Planet Earth #GoRenewable #GoEVs #MethaneMatters

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The Coalition wants to gut vehicle efficiency standards & hand out a 12-month fuel excise sugar hit - a short-term bribe over a long-term fix.

Standards deliver more efficient cars to cut emissions, reduce fuel imports, and save Aussies thousands.

John "Kojak" Karrasch's QLD farm is sinking due to subsidence from coal seam gas.

His farm doesn't host a single well - all the damage is from drilling on surrounding properties.

Now he's demanding urgent government action before it's too late.

What Happens to Ecosystems When Bees Disappear?
You might just starve
90% of the crops consumed worldwide are pollinated by bees, including most fruit and vegetables.

Faced with declining use of their assets, the firms that own Australia's gas pipelines are trying to shield themselves from risks of networks becoming stranded. But instead of wearing the costs themselves, they are seeking to make consumers pick up the tab https://t.co/3GVGxiSbwv

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Growth in global oil demand slowed markedly in 2024

This was driven by lower consumption from global road transport, in part due to the rising impact of EVs

As a result, oil’s share of total energy demand fell below 30% for the first time ➡️ https://t.co/4igSIUyj0K

“I want to prescribe clean air.”

47 million health workers and advocates are calling for urgent action to #BeatAirPollution—because no one should get sick from the air they breathe.

“Today, we face an even greater challenge. We must advance research into climate repair urgently, transparently & with utmost scientific & ethical rigour. We must use our voices, collectively & courageously, before the choices are no longer ours to make.”

"If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along." - Carl Sagan

With the 1.5C climate target behind us, we must urgently explore nature-based climate repair. I've written today in @guardian https://t.co/VgWjFiF3EF

Mark Carney: “I have seen this movie before. I know exactly what’s going to happen.”

[Saganism @Saganismm]

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?

Finnish energy company shutters its last coal-fired power plant, ending coal use in the capital Helsinki and putting Finland on the brink of eliminating coal entirely

[The Hon. Matt Kean @honmattkean]

Australia just posted its hottest March on record by a large margin. Mean temperatures were 2.41C warmer than the 1961-90 baseline used by the @BoM_au, almost 0.4 degrees warmer than the previous hottest March, in 2019.

[Ember @ember_energy]

Australia’s coal mines could be releasing far more methane than they report 🚨

With steel producers importing coal from Australia’s mines, this undercounting affects importers’ ability to say what their TRUE emissions are, says Ember’s Chris Wright

Atmospheric Carbon is burning us up. CO₂ is the big culprit but what about methane produced by livestock? Sam Elsom talks us through the science behind a solution – Australian seaweed. #shirtloadsofscience
