@bennymofodavis That theme got a mention here. This article is also a great reminder of that delightful Swan interview:

@_einrib_ @AngloGenXer @RapidResponse47 WWII did not end until September 1945??

@KenKen69698 @caiomiglioli @Dill_Boss @Dan_a_rama @GarbageHuman23 Sounds like Zeno's paradox

(You'll always find a gap in the fossil record that you can point to as the missing "key")

@tescrealaccist @LabGrownNeet Depends what you mean by "crux"

@Revolucion077 @WouterHermans @MLiebreich @toyoya You would hope. Much like Kodak

@snrsnap @GrayConnolly @CroweDM I'm no lawyer, but if that's the argument then it sounds like the clauses in its employment contract might be in conflict with the ABC's charter. Anyone who knows what they're on about care to weigh in?

@tveitdal The article describes a correlation, but (unless I've missed something) it doesn't suggest a causal link. Wouldn't the increased demand for shark meat have been even worse without the policies?

@Martin_J_Miller @MarkusMannheim @ACTPedalPower Even in 1973?

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.

Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.

Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.

@MarkusMannheim @ACTPedalPower Still, not an excuse for a 50-year delay!

[Dave F @phez7]

@MarkusMannheim @ACTPedalPower Do you think there's any truth to that claim?

[Dave F @phez7]

@MarkusMannheim @ACTPedalPower The Engineer for the Garden City Cycle Route once told me that this was the first dedicated "bicycle road" anywhere in the world.

Without standards, everything from the structure of the road base to intersection designs and signage had to be developed from first principles

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

@techAU @SustainableTall This is an important point, and also a powerful feedback loop: once they are mainstream, the cost of quality windows reduces to almost that of low-performance products.

This creates a strong business case to regulate minimum performance. Why haven't we done it yet?

@sterndavidi @pittmaniacal @wheelreinvent Makes sense for a queue of cars, but I see a lot of dudes rolling to the front of every queue of cyclists they encounter

I love this so much. Planning to challenge @Daspar to a game next time I'm in town

Vale Hugh Saddler

Yesterday we said goodbye to Hugh, a giant and leading thinker in the Australian energy and climate change movement. Hugh was my first "real" employer at Energy Strategies Pty Ltd, helping set the bar for my ambition and integrity ever since

He will be missed

@NeolithicSheep @DonleMasque @Reaverbean Is this accounting for our big ol' hole in the ozone layer?

@simongerman600 @stevefaeembra Why not Antarctica?
