New research from @SwisRe shows the cost of climate change on the global economy without faster emission cuts would be $23 trillion every year.

The company’s new campaign trumpets that it is ‘laying the foundations for a low carbon future’ – without mentioning the nearly $1bn it spent on coal production in 2020 and 2021

Two WA state-owned coal-fired plants will close this decade and be replaced largely by #renewables.
It is crucial that as coal goes, it is not replaced (as suggested) by another #fossilfuel with dangerously high #emissions like gas.

“Solar and wind are now the cheapest bulk power sources.. the UN’s International Energy Agency expects renewables to generate 90% of all new power in the coming years. The energy revolution has happened. Sorry if you missed it.”

Coal is not going to cut it anymore @AngusTaylorMP when we have cheap, reliable renewable energy and storage that’s already powering over a third of Australia’s largest electricity grid and bringing down power prices. @RNBreakfast #auspol https://t.co/bz8RoIQ1HS

“The #IPCC #ClimateReport is set to show the scientific evidence of the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems," says Ashwini Prabha of @@CANPacificIs stressing the insufficient action to address the impacts. #ActontheScience #WorldWeWant https://t.co/uvTfFUEvgY

Low cost renewables are killing coal faster than expected.

We’ve got to make plans to get coal workers good, green jobs - and we don’t have time to waste. https://t.co/mU1OC3wAaA

Great words ⬇️“Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.” Your most powerful climate action is your vote. See through the spin. Governments will not be more ambitious on climate until voters push them. #independentsday #climate #auspol

BREAKING NEWS: 190 countries and organisations have signed onto the ‘Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement’ commits signatories to both phase out coal power and end support for new coal power stations. Australia did not sign on.

[Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm]

Cop26 has to be about keeping fossil fuels in the ground. All else is distraction https://t.co/9cRX9wjpCF

The @SantosLtd logo is splashed all over the Australian pavilion at COP26.

At least Morrison is transparent about who he’s there to represent.

Gas corporations. Not you.

“Opening coal plants shuts the door on the future of low-lying Pacific nations whether you burn it yourself or you export it to others, coal has no place in this century.”

"People are being lied to by politicians who say we can take climate action while extracting, burning and shipping off coal and gas for decades to come. We can’t."

[Helen Haines MP @helenhainesindi]

The Nationals have said that there are no jobs in renewables.
But there are thousands of good jobs in renewable energy right now.
We could grow hundreds of thousands more if we were smart enough to capture the endless, low-cost renewable energy that shines on us every day.

[🌏 Zali Steggall MP @zalisteggall]

Moderate Liberals who write a lot of opinion pieces about caring about global warming & acting on climate are missing in action while climate deniers are calling the shots. A conscience vote on climate bills will sort this out. #auspol https://t.co/cN5MTm4OSg

Fortescue Metals Group has become one of the first of Australia’s major industrial operators to commit to fully decarbonise its operations and supply chains.

“This decision is the result of the Morrison government’s refusal to have any kind of valid #climatechange policy and it'll be Australian children and rural communities that will pay the price”
