@Shane_Broad And you'd think that Labor would acknowledge it came about due to stopping logging natural forests when Gunns collapsed. If we logged even less of these forests we could get even better results #politas

This the original in Toronto star?

In his heyday few could hold a candle to John Spooner - his intelligence, insight, economic literacy, wit, his exquisite draughtsmanship: many of his @theage cartoons are classics. I don’t know what’s happened to him.

@Dan_Nahum @RichieMerzian What’s the go with Ireland?

Investigate Taib! https://t.co/oaRZw8YSx8

[Sarawak Report @sarawak_report]

In response to Mahathir's statement yesterday that "no formal complaint had been lodged" against Taib Mahmud, Baram PKR Chairman Roland Engan asserted that a report was lodged at #MACC in Miri on June 6.

Great innovation in hobart's war on waste! https://t.co/tHnxNflb1J

A Hobart-based barista is doing his bit on the #WarOnWasteAU meet Andrew Doube https://t.co/90E1Kjr4Zx have you adopted any sustainable practices?

@markets4change is disbanding due to pressures of maintaining a small NGO. Since 2011 we've been on the front line of markets campaigning. We've fought for forests & the people & communities that depend on them in Australia & internationally Farewell msg: https://t.co/U0Z4GcQVDW

Yes, this claim that emissions are down 43% only works when emissions from burning forest biomass are not counted, which is the case under current carbon accounting. The emissions are real and seen by the atmosphere but appear in the books as zero. Creative accounting - beware! https://t.co/5hEXRKhwlc

[Partnership for Policy Integrity @TeamPFPI]

@DrSimEvans And a decent percentage of "ditching coal" was, replacing coal with burning WOOD pellets sourced from North American forests and *just not counting the emissions*. #biomass is a giant green scam.

Bitterly disappointing. Continued rebuff to indigenous land rights from a system that refuses to acknowledge traditional lifestyles https://t.co/47gj8owCNR

Leaked draft of #Sarawak Land Code bill causes anger

Congratulations to CUB. Standing up for community and environment. Glad we don't have to mount a markets campaign on this one. #politas https://t.co/tSX3tZmHn4

The Cascade Brewery declines its land for a kunanyi/Mt Wellington cable car as it "will clearly change the mountain", adding that the company should not be making such a "momentous decision" https://t.co/hxlQkjFTew

[markets for change @markets4change]

Shonky carbon accounting ignores emissions of burning forest biomass - as if it was zero. Actually as emissive as burning coal https://t.co/p0dsVT3M3M

[Kenneth Richter @kenneth_richter]

Chatham House @CH_EERD : UK makes >8 million tonnes of CO2 "disappear" every year by importing and burning biomass from non-Kyoto countries. "These emissions will not be accounted for against any country’s greenhouse gas emission targets" https://t.co/WefmvheGpf (and yes, = Drax)

[Sarawak Report @sarawak_report]

Sarawak Report have previously highlighted similar cases of gangsterism in Sarawak, including the brutal murder of land rights activist Bill Kayong and violent attacks against Iban natives Surik Anak Muntai and Minggat Anak Nyakin for defending their land https://t.co/ER4GZ85BNr

Love australian forests and their wildlife? Be very concerned!

Fundamental disregard for science: EU passes new 2030 framework ensuring bioenergy will stay biggest source of renewable energy, with virtually no safeguards https://t.co/MXsjj6trsw, while the alliance of science academies of all member states warns this is likely to increase GHG https://t.co/IY8DxDmwuf

[markets for change @markets4change]

We see this phenomenon with 'just burning forest residues' for energy too. It actually creates a big income stream, enabling clearcutting devastation. We need to stop such logging, address waste by not creating it, and move BEYOND BURNING to end ghg emissions https://t.co/9o9NvNiRXR

[GAIA -Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives @GAIAnoburn]

Waste incineration gives polluting companies a 'get out of jail free' card. We need to stop waste, not burn it. https://t.co/1FYMb7KMKW #G7

Has Courier Mail stopped using newsprint from a Korindo subsidiary yet? Korindo illegally cleared rainforest in West Papua. As we told the Courier Mail, companies like them should source only responsible product from responsible companies https://t.co/LDyOZg6kbg

[Queensland Greens @QldGreens]

Good to see the Courier Mail keeping it low key about the Greens as usual 👀 Hands up if you're a tofu tyrant 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♂️

[markets for change @markets4change]

EU's new rules fail to ensure “renewable energy” has a positive effect on climate & doesn’t harm wildlife. By continuing to support unsustainable #biomass the RED will ultimately make it harder, not easier, to meet Europe’s climate commitments
https://t.co/uatSeBd6KO

[markets for change @markets4change]

EU has agreed very poor #biomass standards. High levels of emissive forest biomass greenwashed as 'renewable' at 46% of the renewable energy. Encourages conversion from coal to biomass burning instead of moving beyond burning
https://t.co/i8fhQvX1Db

[markets for change @markets4change]

EU conveniently ignores that burning trees is just as emissive as burning coal https://t.co/anyC8zPCjQ

[Alex Mason 🇪🇺 @1alexmason]

The EU has just agreed new #biomass rules that spell disaster for the #climate and global #forests. It's effectively given #coal plants across the continent the green light to burn trees instead. This is a disgraceful decision that will increase emissions. I predict a U-turn.

NEW investigation shows: Japanese consumers are literally walking on floors that are the product of forest destruction on #Borneo ! Read the report by @markets4change here: https://t.co/hLlD9ycRq4

#G7 leaders' inclusion of waste-burning in the plastics charter is a step in the wrong direction. We need reduction, not combustion! #breakfreefromplastic https://t.co/w0wdMLmhtx
