A new low in Australian excuses for fossil fuel expansion…apparently our coal and gas exports can be ‘netted out’ if we export enough green energy…can someone please call the atmosphere and tell it that burning fossil fuels wont harm it as long as we generate some renewables…FFS
I'm genuinely surprised @aunz.theconversation.com would publish such a misleading article. This is not 'journalism you can trust' it's propaganda.

Australia has a home insurance crisis and climate change is going to make it worse – @jack-thrower.bsky.social in @thenewdaily.bsky.social.

Australia has an insurance crisis. Climate change will make it worse
Climate change makes disasters more frequent and more destructive, this is leading insurance companies to charge higher prices.

If Labor approves the 50 year extension of the North West Shelf gas export plant, brace yourselves for the spin about how we need it because of a 'shortage' of gas.
WA is awash with gas. 90% of it is exported.
Approving the NWS extension will be a boon for big gas & a bust for West Australians.

You’re likely familiar with the term “carbon footprint”, which measures an individual’s environmental impact. The concept communicates to consumers that we play a significant role in limiting the impacts of climate change through small daily personal choices. The carbon footprint has merit, encouraging the use of keep cups, the offsetting of emissions for a long-haul flight, improving our recycling habits, saving the planet one Tupperware container at a time. Yes, little things do add up. We have real impact.
When you realise this globally applied term was coined by an advertising firm working for British Petroleum, the landing changes.

Hundreds of people turned out to support Save Smiths Beach rally today, including locals who fought and won protections for this coastline 20 years ago.
Now those protections are being ignored, with plans for a 100m seawall, 44 per cent more clearing and 25 per cent less national park.
