"Big mistake" - Treasurer Jim Chalmers says of the Coalition's nuclear policy, calling it the major reason why Dutton loses seat in #Dickson. #AusVotes25

[Solutions Australia @solutions_au]

Looks like #Dickson voters aren't going to let Dutton press the button. Incredible work by anti-nuke campaigners talking to voters across the electorate about the risks of nuclear. #AusVotes2025 @AusConservation @GreenpeaceAP @FoEAustralia @QLDConservation

The attack on the synagogue in Melbourne appalling. All Australians deserve safety & not to be subject to racist violence. We must be united in standing this against whenever it occurs.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

How about we make the multinational coal and gas corporates causing it pay?… instead of us!

My dear friend organises Elwood Beach Clean. She’s sent me pictures of the huge pile of supplement rubbish washed up after Melbourne Marathon from runners tossing them on the go. Irresponsible & damaging to environment! @Nike will you donate to Beach Clean & support their work?

HUGE UPDATE: we fully shut down a keynote address by Saudi Aramco CFO Ziad Al-Murshed. As hundreds of lobster-eating MIT sheeple looked on in shock, we chased him off the stage. He never returned.

Saudi Aramco is the largest polluter on the planet. We must stop them. We will.🧵

Just do something.

170 ordinary people arrested, with a successful victory: Blockading the world’s largest coal port! ✊

We thank all the arrestee support volunteers for making sure all arrestees and youth felt safe, supported before and after the arrests ☀️

Today, everyday Australians stepped up in defence of our climate - because if our government won't protect us, we will. ✊

Our brave protesters, including a local doctor, a 16-year-old student, and an 84-year-old great-grandmother, took peaceful action in Newcastle.

WE WON! 🏆 The Supreme Court of NSW has ruled the NSW Minns’ government’s draconian exclusion zone over Newcastle harbour is invalid.

The zone had been established in an attempt to stop Rising Tide’s People’s Blockade of the world’s largest coal port.

Climate Change:

It's real.

It's us.

It's serious - and already dangerous.

But there are solutions.

The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

[Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 @rahmstorf]

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1

The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought.

No time to waste. Stopfossifuels. #ActOnClimate

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

So called “Carbon Capture and Storage” (CCS) is a giant scam

Chevron used it to get their Gorgon gas export terminal approved despite 50 million tonnes (Mt)/year emissions

Even if it worked, which it doesn’t, it would capture about 4 Mt/y

It’s a joke

But this does show that resistance works. Direct action works. Disruption works. This is a bleak time but the flame of our resistance will not die - it will only burn brighter. Onwards. (5/5)

(📢) ABANDON SHIP: THE X-ODUS IS HERE

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Doubling down on fossil fuels is absurd.

The clean energy revolution is here.

No group, no business, and no government can stop it.

Leaders at #COP29 can and must ensure it is fair and fast enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

"Now we have a climate change denier entering the White House, our actions are going to be even more critical" - Booker Prize finalist Charlotte Wood encourages us all to take climate action together at the People's Blockade in Newcastle 22-24 November.@Craig_Foster @David_Ritter

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.
