🚨The @climatecouncil have slammed Environment Minister @tanya_plibersek's decision to approve a new coal mine & refuse to reconsider the approvals of 3 others

Labelling her actions ‘reckless’ and ‘out of line with the science’ #NoNewFossilFuels🚨

@ian_g_brennan And I also have a file with all the custom fonts I've used before so I can find something good.

@ian_g_brennan I used to try and do *everything* in R, including positioning text etc. But to maintain my sanity I now often just resort to adding the text in Photoshop after the fact.

(Finally) getting back into plotting for 2023 with #TidyTuesday Week 18. Tagging individual animals allows us to estimate how old they are. Some rodents retrapped by researchers near Portal, Arizona have lived for at least 6 years!

I think this statement sums up modern conservation very neatly. We need to decarbonise, but any species at lose along the way won’t come back.

@Nrg8000 One of the two 'experts' that rated the sightings lists the thylacine as "extant" on his website. Doesn't leave much faith in the quality of the ratings. Total peer review failure.

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

Cool, that's two megatonnes of planned new coal extraction down, 457 to go :)

[Environs Kimberley @EnviroKimberley]

Distressing scenes from Fitzroy Crossing. As well as huge impact on people, animals suffering too. @MarkMcGowanMP needs to start saying these are extreme events due to ‘climate change’ and not trying to hide it by saying 1 in 100 year flood.

The carbon footprint of a single Bitcoin transaction was 969 kilograms of CO2.

This is equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of a one-way flight from New York to Sydney or the total footprint of around two million credit card transactions.

I don't think most people know just how terrible meat is for the planet.

[Phoebe Weston @phoeb0]

Getting pretty sick of this. I’m at a UN biodiversity conference, ten sandwich/bagel/wrap options at cafe here. Only one that doesn’t contain meat.

How is this message not getting through. #Cop15 Also hardly any mention of dietary changes in the text. (1/2)

Australia has already generated more energy from wind and solar from Jan - Nov 2022 than for all of 2021

On the same day Labor have confirmed they want to “compensate” (hand over public money) to multinational coal corps. they have also announced they are cutting the 10 extra Medicare funded psychologist sessions. Cutting Medicare & giving $$$ to coal corps. That’s modern Labor
