Introducing the Near-Zero Steel 2030 Challenge 🏭

We’re partnering with the @wef’s First Movers Coalition(FMC) to launch the Near-Zero Steel 2030 initiative during New York Climate Week.

Here’s what it is and why it’s more needed than you think 👇(1/6)

@citowicki bit harsh there Phil

Our tax system needs to be overhauled as the Australian population ages and fewer people work—we need to broaden ↔️ and raise ⬆️ the GST.

This is genuinely good 👍 @ajamesbragg

After today's releases from @JoshFrydenberg & @SenatorHume, Australia has more detailed policy on crypto than most nations. Here's how it happened: last April, the @AuSenate decided to establish a focused inquiry into cryptocurrency and digital assets.

@MichaelM_ACT This is genuinely astounding

Happy St Patrick's Day. Good day for a Guinness, if I say so myself ☘️☘️☘️

Australia captures only 0.5% of our lithium exports' value. We have been shipping a huge opportunity offshore, primarily to China. Blueprint has recommended the govt further support local critical minerals projects—the PM's announcement is a start. (1/3)

US Department of Defense: *Burns 4.6B gallons of fuel annually*

Media: "Bitcoin's carbon footprint is a major issue"

[Mike Bird @Birdyword]

There's a joke that's been revived in a bunch of countries along these lines.

Man stands on a street in Hamburg, 1918, with a sign that says "the king is an idiot". Police arrest him. He says he meant the British king. "You can't fool us," they reply, "we know who the idiot is"

Belarus is at a breaking point. It will either enter the war on the side of Russia or the Belarus army will mutiny.

Putin pressures Lukashenka to invade Ukraine in Volyn region. Russian officers command key Belarus military units. But Belarus soldiers disobey orders to attack.

@citowicki God forbid Australia is ever drawn into actual ‘warfighting’ in space. It doesn’t sound like something that would end well.

First Putin came for the Chechens & I didn't speak out—because I was not a Chechen.
Then Putin came for the Syrians & I didn't speak out—I was not a Syrian.
Then Putin came for the Ukrainians, & I didn't speak out...
Then Putin came for me—& there was no one left to speak for me.

The Brookfield-Grok consortium looking to take private & transform AGL is putting our pens down - with great sadness.

This weekend, the board rejected our raised offer of $8.25. 46% more than the price of $5.55 about 90 days ago 🧵 (1/3)

@susanengel_oz Cost of clean up ‘is the carbon tax’ 👍

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Crazy how people freak over an 11-cent increase on a gallon of gas, but yawn over climate breakdown
