Good presentations at #WaWF2023 about collecting data to inform climate change adaptation needed now, never mind what will be needed under 2,3 or 4 degrees expected due to the inaction of governments and continued approval of more fossil fuels inc in Australia
@WASHFutures@PatConroy1 Good to see the ministers speech. I find it interesting to put it in context. Australia’s Aid budget is around $5b. I wonder how much more security we’d get if we cancelled even one of the $10b submarines the same minister was talking about last week and tripled the aid budget!
@EBourgeois I'm much more concerned about the #ReFi space having fallen in the blockchain mess. ReFi is essential to scaling Regeneration, but with most of the discussion stuck in crypto-fantasy I'm not holding my breath.
@realNoniH Everything Albo has achieved will, and should be, overshadowed by his approval of more fossil fuel projects, even after we've lost towns to fires and floods.
I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
@PatConroy1@SprepChannel@dfat@SenatorWong Being responsible for over 4% of world emissions disqualifies Australia from hosting COP31? Especially since even under Labor we are still approving more coal and gas! Just because we ship it overseas and the magic of carbon accounting counts them elsewhere doesn't absolve us.
@DavidShoebridge Tony Abbott showing his irrelevance. And anyway - since when is training to kill other people being of "service" to the country or the planet.
@US_Stormwatch Hard to comprehend that in Australia we still have a federal and state governments from both ALP and LNP that are approving MORE fossil fuel projects in the face of current, not future climate change. This is not just elsewhere, we lost Lismore to the floods, and others to fires
@AnnieKia @parambulator101 @energylocal@originenergy It was a delightful conversation since after I switched Origin called to offer me a better deal. After she'd based the whole pitch on the numbers I told her I couldn't care less about the numbers and was leaving because of ethics, i.e a care for the next generation.
@DrCameronMurray The electricity transmission lines is the worst example I can think of - they are a natural monopoly and so should be owned by the people, and their operations contracted out.
@victorklineTNL Which is why, if called for a jury, you need to consider the access to funds of the two sides - that one side might not have had the funds to properly counter the other sides arguments, and may also get bankrupted by the bill if costs are awarded against them.
@abcnews Given that facebook's data goes to the US, and that Australia has even more draconian laws around giving data to authorities, why should we be worried about data going to China ? https://t.co/4tiK4vlIUG
