July has already seen:
The hottest three-week period ever recorded.
The three hottest days on record.
The highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.
It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change, but only with dramatic, immediate #ClimateAction.
The only significant difference between Labor and Coalition climate policy is the rhetoric. i.e. Labor pretends it’s doing something. https://t.co/KZP2yqEEXF
‘For too long governments have made policies FOR Indigenous Australians, not WITH Indigenous Australians’.
When people are consulted on policy impacting them, outcomes on the ground improve. It's time to give Indigenous Australians a real Voice in matters affecting them. #npc
This week the world sweltered through the hottest day on record, says the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction.
Scientists say heat records will continue to be broken this year as increasing emissions combine with a growing El Niño event. https://t.co/2I0iJRhMj6
In September of 1992, Pearl Jam celebrated their seemingly overnight success by staging a free show in Seattle's Magnusson Park, drawing a crowd of over 70,000 people. During the show, Eddie Vedder, the lead singer, embarked on a death-defying feat. He climbed the stage scaffolding with 100 feet of microphone cable trailing behind him, looped it over the top, rappelled down, and swung out over the audience.
"I was channeling something different," Eddie once reflected on his onstage escapades. "I reached that place you hear about where a mother lifts a car off her two-year-old child. It was that kind of adventure. At that point in my life, finally having the opportunity to perform for larger crowds, I genuinely felt like I had nothing to lose. I wasn't thinking about what might await me in the future. It was all about the present moment. This mindset aligned with the message we, as a group, wanted to convey to the audience at that particular time. Risking my safety to evoke such emotions became part of the performance."
These photographs captured the intense rage and fury embodied by Eddie and the band during that period. In retrospect, it was a reckless act, as his career and life could have ended tragically. The anxiety of the 70,000 fans in attendance was palpable in the air. Nevertheless, it turned out to be a glorious rock and roll moment, contributing to their long and illustrious career.

Our 🌎 has already warmed by about 1.2°C.
On today's #WorldMetDay, let's remember that every bit of additional global warming worsens climate impacts.
The actions we take this decade will influence life on Earth for thousands of years.
While neither have a Senate majority, the Greens – as people who care about climate action – are apparently expected to take what they can get in this space, while Labor is seemingly not expected to give at all.

So how much government investment will it actually take to help electrify Australian homes?
There have been some pretty wild reports from deeply vested interests so why don't we see what the experts say ⚡ 💡
At Safeguard @AuSenate hearing today.
"The best way to do it is to rule out new fossil fuel projects that have 1 & only 1 objective"
"The whole point of building a new fossil fuel project is to cause the problem that this legislation says it's trying to solve" @RDNS_TAI #auspol
I defy any thinking person to read this and conclude that the safeguard mechanism is good policy, or should be passed without major amendments.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Safeguard Mechanism, and it is surprisingly honest and informative.

🖊️ The Politics with @rachelrwithers: Far from striving for perfection, the Greens are seeking a policy that is necessary for the world to stay within safe levels of warming, not to mention necessary for the safeguard mechanism to meet its goals. #AusPol https://t.co/3SMRtKeB4R
Since 1950 each decade has been warmer than the last. We must get emissions plummeting this decade to keep warming at manageable levels and avoid catastrophic impacts. Every fraction of a degree counts.
