Not surprised that the Trump regime is “confident” Australia would join the US “in a good fight”.
The good fight is to stop AUKUS, engage in diplomacy and stand for peace not war. We need a Labor caucus that stands against warmongering and promotes peace and security.

ABC reporting Marles has said Australia wants to integrate more quickly with the US.
On what authority does Marles commit our nation to integration with the most dangerous and aggressive nation on earth? What does this mean for our economy and trade with China?
Madness!

Dear @SenatorWong
It's time to expel the Israeli Ambassador.
The Iranian one was removed for less.

The new "hate speech" code that is IHRA -- the wildly expansive definition of "anti-Semitism" that Israel invented and pressured countries to adopt into their law to outlaw criticisms of Israel -- is the greatest statuatory threat to free speech in the west. Good decision:

Nobody alive has ever experienced an El Niño event this strong.

By this fall, we are tracking a system that easily eclipses the historic events of 2015 and 1997. On its own, this El Niño could make 2027 extraordinarily hotter than normal for most of the planet—and by a massive margin.

We measure El Niño by the peak water temperature anomaly in a specific area of the equatorial Pacific. This year, the heat isn't just baking the surface; it is deeply rooted in the ocean.

Top 4 El Niños Ever Observed:
1. 1877-1878: +2.8°C (Estimated reconstructed ONI index; contributed to global famine)
2. 2015-2016: +2.6°C
3. 1997-1998: +2.4°C
4. 1982-1983: +2.3°C

The Late 2026 Projection:
Consensus models are currently averaging a +3.0°C to +3.4°C index by November and December, with extreme outliers approaching +4.0°C. If these averages hold, this system will blow every historical event out of the water.

The strongest El Niño on record likely occurred about 150 years ago in 1877, just after the end of a regional cool period known as the "Little Ice Age" and before human carbon emissions began rapidly impacted warming the planet. That event shows just how destructive these cycles can be even without the added heat trapped in today's atmosphere.

While that historical context gives us a baseline, the immediate focus is what this means for us locally as we head into winter.

I will dive deeper into the Florida forecast once summer winds down, but historically, similar years have produced multiple significant winter tornado outbreaks. For example, the winters of 1982, 1997, and 2015 all produced EF3 tornadoes (133-165 MPH)—including the deadly "Night of the Tornadoes" that devastated parts of Central Florida in February 1998.
Looking at the broader picture, this system will trigger distinct weather extremes across the globe—to name just a few impacts:

The Pacific Ocean: A dramatically higher number of hurricanes for the rest of the year.
Florida and the Southern U.S.: Potentially one of the wettest winters on record.
Europe: Extreme amounts of localized, heavy rain.

Long story short, different parts of the globe experience major El Niño impacts at different times. This is a globally significant, strengthening weather event that will have clear, undeniable consequences later this year and throughout 2027.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week.

This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison.

Share this widely and make some noise.

You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that:

Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years.
Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years.

We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem.

Do you see a trend?

Zohran Mamdani went off here 👏

🇺🇸Reporter: "So why are you against Israel?"

🇺🇸Zohran: "People in the U.S. are tired of spending tens of billions of their tax money to break international law and kill thousands of civilians by Israel 🇮🇱.

And we both know they keep calling it a ceasefire in Palestine. But over a thousand Palestinians have been killed while that 'CEASEFIRE' was on."🔥

Finally an American leader with Spine 🔥🫡

How hot is this El Nino?

Not only is the sea-surface temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region on June 13th the hottest on record since 1982, the temperature is a mind-blowing 0.72°C hotter than any previous June 13th.

This is nuts. Now even the seasonal forecast members are breaking above 4°C.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

To get a bit more signal and a bit less noise, here are the global sea-surface temperatures, averaged by decade since the decade 1980-1989.

What do you think the 2030s will look like? The 2040s?

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

The normalcy bias we're all experiencing for global sea-surface temperatures becomes apparent if we look at the graph of SSTs 1982-2026 and remove the last three years 2023, 2024, 2025 from the picture:

I don’t think I’ve ever in my life seen a more deranged, perverted, intentionally dishonest campaign than the one trying to convince people that protesting genocide puts Jews at risk.

In no universe does this make any sense.

“Don’t protest against the genocide of Palestinians because that puts Jews at risk of harm.”

I mean what the actual fuck???

2 million Palestinians are slaughtered, displaced, maimed, starved, denied care, chewed by rats as they try to exist in tents pitched in rivers of sewage & we have to shut up about it IN CASE JEWS ARE HARMED?

Get fucked. Seriously.

FUCKING GET FUCKED

With the latest set of El Niño forecasts, NOAA's CFSv2 model needs to get a larger y-axis scale 😯 https://t.co/8qwDrckPw8
