The Federal Minister for the Environment has determined that approving more coal mines in Australia, in 2021, constitutes taking reasonable steps to prevent harm to Australian children from climate change. https://t.co/P3jSNwPU3z

Today is #ThreatenedSpeciesDay. Victoria's threatened species list is growing, & many animals listed are in rapid decline from logging, bushfires & climate change.

These cuties are Yellow-bellied Gliders. They're not listed yet, but are set to go straight to endangered.

Climate denial never really left us. It just temporally split into a million shards of daily denial, where decision makers act like emissions do no harm.

New piece by me, for @canberratimes, on the deep denial of climate harm in Aus -->>

Huge day for climate activism - 4 BIG wins!
1. Dutch court orders oil giant Shell to cut emissions
2. Investor led coup replaces board seats at Exxon
3. Chevron shareholders vote to cut emissions
4. Aust court finds the Oz Govt has a legal duty to protect kids from climate change

This is actually bloody huge

[Goongerah Environment Centre (GECO) @eastgippyforest]

BREAKING! Environment East Gippsland (@denticulata) have stopped imminent logging of precious forests near Errinundra! It's Greater Glider galore but the government are bending over backwards to log it. Thanks to all the folks who've taken action to stop logging in this area! 💚

Australia's govt continues its grand "gas-fired" COVID19 recovery. A huge swathe of new subsidies, benefits, loans and incentives for fossil fuel burning and mining, and nearly nothing to reduce emissions.

Renewables are stronger than ever as they power through the pandemic, driven by huge additions of solar & wind.

@IEA's new market update shows that last year's increase in renewable capacity accounted for 90% of the entire global power sector’s expansion: https://t.co/KnqClZOFUc

Great thread 👇

G'day folks. I have a new @AustCCR, and it's a big one.

Shell's climate plans are a multi-purpose, armour-plated fossil-fuelled juggernaut of greenwashing, and a key vote is coming soon.

So: let's look under the hood - let me show you how it works. A 🧵
