I’ll just leave this here @TheTodayShow

And there we have it, a 50-degree day in Australia. Only three others recorded (on decent monitoring equipment) in history, including two of those on consecutive days in January 1960. @BOM_au

Let me rewrite the headline:

“Gas strategy puts gas lobby on front burner & planet on the back burner.”

You then don’t need to read the other 39 pages of bullshit.

(Which don’t mention climate change & instead use fear of “shortage bogeymen” to justify massive emissions jump.)

In the last 12 months in Australia 2,384 men have taken their own lives. That's seven men every day and suicide is the leading cause of death in Australian men aged 15-49. Some might still be alive today if they had felt able to speak to someone about how they were feeling...

[Mike Cannon-Brookes 👨🏼‍💻🧢🇦🇺 @mcannonbrookes]

Didn’t see us? Here.

I fixed it for you.

Next time someone says “Australia is ambitious on climate” or “Net zero by 2050 is ahead of the pack” - call out their bullshit.

#BarnabyJoyce: "any jump off a cliff now will put Australia in a perilous position". Sick & tired of pollies acting like they haven't had 30 years to prepare to transition to renewables. I've been learning about climate change since Grade 3 in 1989! Wake up. #afternoonbriefing

🤦🏻‍♂️ @JasonFalinskiMP

"In the literature this is called ‘misleading’ where you say something true but designed to distract attention."

After this, Australia is _still_ one of the highest emissions per capita countries in the world.

Add exports, we're the worst. #TellTheTruth

@JarradLawrence Best dog tweet 😝😝😝

[Michael Bachelard @mbachelard]

Some historical context: Bob Hawke invited 42,000 Chinese students to stay after Tiananmen. Malcolm Fraser welcomed 50,000 Vietnamese after the fall of Saigon. There are 4200 Afghans on temporary visas in Australia now as Kabul falls.

I'm halfway through the @IPCC_CH report.

I haven't yet reached the part about the power of "talking points" in solving the "code red for humanity".

I also can't find "technology, not taxes" in the index.

Why? Because it's just good old Australian bullshit.

[Aaron Birkby @AaronBirkby]

To all the people attacking Simone Biles, you are the problem. The narrative that she is soft, weak, “woke” or a “selfish sociopath” for prioritising her mental health is contributing to suicide being the leading cause of death for 18-49yo Australians.

[alan jones @bigyahu]

Hey @startupfiu I see you copied and reused my orginal @Medium article in whole, including graphic, without my permission. Can we talk? https://t.co/IEdgwW3yok

[Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm]

Thank you @MrKRudd for speaking to the Chairman of Pfizer to secure an earlier delivery of vaccines. Staggered the vaccination of Australians was apparently not important enough to warrant a call from @ScottMorrisonMP or @GregHuntMP to the Pfizer boss.

[Murray Galbraith @MurrayDG]

Pfizer vs AstraZeneca feels like the new Sydney vs Melbourne debate.

Seemingly important to a few very privileged Australians, superfluous to 99.99% of the planet

[zachrook @zachrook]

@SimonMonk @eytanlenko Thinking about the emissions targets being brought forward in the EU and USA this year and assuming there will be more to come in the next 10 years. I think that could be underselling it.

[zachrook @zachrook]

@bigyahu Well then it would have been a quiet place 🤭
