@ausphysics @astrogin @ARC_DMPP @BOM_au @ScienceAU Thanks, @Virginia. It is a real honour to recognised with an AO for doing the things I love!

More is essential, but voting them in, and Morrison out, comes first. Let’s not miss this chance to reset Australia’s climate ACTION plan. View from The Hill: Albanese's 43% emissions reduction target by 2030 has some political cover https://t.co/uTPb6USYgl via @ConversationEDU

This sort of ‘he said, he said…’ escalation is never helpful, and in the past has led to wars! Surely it’s time for our PM to genuinely speak for Australians, to reach out in a sportsmanlike way and re-level the playing field. Or let a woman take over! https://t.co/WppVzQQeJ5

Australia ‘lagging at the back of the pack’ of OECD countries on climate action, analysis finds. I’m not sure what makes me despair more - reading and understanding the important messages in this report or knowing that our government won’t! https://t.co/XfkpO5tpdk

If the risk of catching COVID-19 (and getting very sick or dying) just by passing a random stranger in the street doesn’t encourage ‘hesitants’ to get vaccinated, I’m not sure what will. Do it, folks - GET VACCINATED! NOW. It IS a race! #vaccinate

Great panel session at our first stakeholder briefing on the #oceandecade discussing what success looks like after a decade of Australian action on ocean science for sustainable development @IocUnesco

[Dr Sue Barrell AO FTSE @sue_barrell]

Congratulations, Melbourne! Loving that we are opening up again, but feeling so sad for those who don’t have jobs to go back to and who will have a tougher journey out of COVID-19.

Since 1980, the number of extreme weather events have increased. How can we know that this is linked to #ClimateChange?

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

The satellite imagery loop shows how wind direction at various levels of the atmosphere affects smoke movement. The low-level winds are moving the smoke plume towards the divide in NSW whereas up higher in the atmosphere, the winds are moving it out towards the Tasman Sea.

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

"When we warm the globe by one degree, we get a really large change in the frequency and the severity of our #ExtremeWeather and our #ExtremeClimate events."

Our thoughts are with those who are and will be impacted by this week's events.

Wondering how Fire Danger Ratings are calculated, and what the different ratings actually mean? Bureau fire weather expert Claire Yeo explains. For the latest fire weather warnings check https://t.co/6R4IV6vqAH and always follow advice from emergency services. @nswrfs @QldFES
