🌳Have your say on the future of biodiversity in NSW! The Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Biodiversity Offsets Scheme) Bill 2024 is under review, and our Upper House committee is calling for your input!

[💧Michael West @MichaelWestBiz]

In their haste to bash Adam Bandt, the media and #auspol political establishment has lost the plot.

#whatsthescam with brushing off half a trillion dollars in favour of foreign multinationals?

A deep dive on the dangers of overshoot and slippery net zero promises: 'The situation demands immediate action, not promises of balancing carbon budgets decades into the future'. These topics are not well understood by most people – read if you have time! https://t.co/ILz2AJ48Eb

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Humanity risks losing the beautiful, complex reefs that have existed on Earth for millennia. Governments and officials have now acknowledged this devastating fact, writes Ove Hoegh-Guldberg @UQ_News

243 Records in so far for our Seashore Splash! for #HeritageWeek2024. Wexford tops the leader board by a country mile, with Louth and Cork next down the list. Have a Splash! at https://t.co/yLxiUzth8O

Winter heat records will be challenged in central Australia later this week. Some places could see maximums more than 15°C above average for this time of year. Oodnadatta in SA is forecast to reach 38°C, which would beat the state winter record of 36.5°C from 1946.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.

Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, and record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

[Dr Robbi Bishop-Taylor 🦋 @SatelliteSci]

Here's a mind-blowing open data portal that I think should be far better known than it is: @GeoscienceAus's Historical Aerial Photography archive, containing 1.2 million aerial photos from the 1920s on! 🛩 🗺 🤯

Yellow dots = scanned downloadable photos!

The NSW Auditor General’s report into the Government’s management of threatened species has just dropped - and it’s another damning picture for our precious threatened species. 🧵

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

The Australian government collects more money from HECS than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax

And more than half of the gas we export overseas collects zero royalties #qanda #auspol

[The Mandarin @TheMandarinAU]

Solid evidence shows requiring people to return to the office does not work and that economic growth can survive without public servants buying their sandwiches in the CBD. https://t.co/y6RgHsEfd3

"If you made them pay for the value of the resources & their fair share of taxes, you wouldn't have the problems that you have today." #auspol

@JosephEStiglitz, Nobel Prize-winning economist, on #QandA says the fact Australia gives away its natural resources is 'mind-boggling'.

[Elaine Johnson @Elaine_EnvLaw]

A privilege to be representing @EnviroCentreNT in the first merits appeal challenging fracking in the Northern Territory.

This is a critical test case on protection of our precious water systems and environmental risks associated with fracking gas in the Beetaloo Basin.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I must call out the flood of fossil fuel expansion we are seeing in some of the world’s wealthiest countries.

In signing such a surge of new oil and gas licenses, they are signing away our future.

Countries must phase-out fossil fuels – fast and fairly.

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

One of Israel’s most watched news channel:

“people in Gaza deserve death. A hard, agonizing death. There are no innocent people there”

“We should have seen a lot more revenge, a lot more rivers of Gazans' blood"

[Ron Avery @ron_avery]

@GuardianAus @david_papps55 About time. I've seen dugong and pilot whale killed in these nets off Sydney. Disgusting impact to make a few swimmers 'feel' safe.
