The impacts of global warming have been forecast and we are now seeing the reality of a continuing increase in global greenhouse emissions

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

The ocean continued to warm in 2025, reaching record high levels.

It is expected that the ocean will continue to warm well into the future – a change which is irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years.

The sea level reconstruction curve (brown) is relatively new, the measured sea level (black) obviously not. CO2 and temperature are established beyond reasonable doubt, see IPCC reports.
(In case you’re wondering: the medieval warm period was not global but regional in Europe.)

China now biggest player as electric cars surge and ICE-only sales slump in Australia

Australia’s centre of gravity is shifting away from internal combustion and towards electric cars

BEVs jump to nearly 17% of monthly sales

@DavidPocock Why oh why is Albo such a continual disappointment as leader? Always folds and wriggles out of everything.

David Pocock shreds the idea that gas giants choosing to invest in pipes should mean they avoid tax
"No other sector in our economy gets the raw material for free"🔥
Tax breaks for big corps who get our resources for $0 doesn’t make us the lucky country—but the stupid country.🙄

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

"Japan collects more tax from Aussie gas than Australia does. That's not a joke."

"So as the budget approaches, the question becomes almost unavoidable."

[Charles Harvey @CJHarvey56]

It is a diabolical failure of the @AlboMP Gov to not have a resource tax on our gas. Do they actually believe climate change is real, that the need to transition has been far too slow. Instead of begging for fuel supplies, use the taxes to encourage and speed the transition.

3 hours later still nothing in The Israelian or the Australian Fossil Review on Ken Henry's "just do it and stop the crap" testimony to Parliament.

but they both covering Kyle and Jackie O!

@ABCmediawatch time to call it Linton, it's all over comrade

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

I'm a bit out of my depth on this, but tend to agree.
The miners are drawing on the common wealth of the nation, and should pay a fair chunk to the Commonwealth of Australia.

@MichaelWestBiz I'm in two (2) minds about this, performance by Shell Exec:

1. Exceptionally poor performance for an executive. There should be questions about them holding their position.

2. Exceptionally crafty performance. Claim a different purpose, disclosure not on camera.

[Sandy Horne @SandyHorne61]

A lot of people are laughing about the idea of electric trucks. However ... whether you like it or not ... it's happening ...

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

As the AFR reported years ago, gas companies are 'systemic non-payers of tax'.

Now they're stumbling over themselves at a Senate inquiry looking into a 25% tax on gas exports.

[stranger @strangerous10]

“Just do it, and stop the crap.” 💥🔥
You can see why gas giants are worried. When the guy who wrote the book on Australian tax reform calls for a 25% gas export tax this bluntly, it would be gross negligence for the government to ignore it.

Thank you, Ken Henry. #auspol

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

The Australia Institute suggests a flat 25 per cent export tax would raise $17 billion and bring domestic prices down.

"An export tax solves all those problems," co-CEO Dr Richard Denniss told the inquiry.

[Ben Pennings @BenPennings]

“While the gas is extracted from beneath Australian soils, the profits go almost entirely to large multinational companies. Research suggests gas companies have made roughly $A149 billion from exports in just four years. Only a small percentage of this profit has been taxed.”
