Record snow drought in western U.S. raises concern for a spring of water shortages and wildfires
Except for California, most Western states are experiencing the worst snow drought in decades, not because of dry conditions but really warm temperatures that change snow to rain.

the Murdoch owned Weekly Times keeps neglecting to mention climate change in its weather stories, yet it's letter page is full of people joining the dots.

Maybe it's time for the paper's approach to science to come into this century?

I'm at the 'Across Victoria' conference in Horsham. Not a single speaker has acknowledged traditional owners, which is a nice summary of the vibes here today.

its wall to wall right wing parties. Noticeable angst about the Nats weak position on mining.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

As you would expect, this is the sort of nonsense One Nation is taking to the SA election:

- Embracing coal
- New low-emissions coal-fired power station
- Embracing nuclear
- Ending renewables subsidies
- prohibiting wind / solar on 'prime agricultural land'
- prohibiting offshore wind

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry.

The Australian newspaper continues its campaign to undermine climate action.

Science? Why should we believe it? This belongs in the comments section of conspiracy theory groups on facebook, not the national 'newspaper'.

Federal agents gas thousands of peaceful protestors.

One attendee: "You can see my cardboard sign at the edge of the gas... There was zero warning to leave or that they would be deploying anything."

Solar provided 59% of electricity in the Australian national (east coast) grid between 9am and 6pm over the past week. It was 30% of total generation.

Life moves pretty fast etc.

Australia’s grid now relies on renewable energy as much as coal. Those who doubted it look foolish
Solar met the majority of electricity demand between 9am and 6pm in the past week as much of the country cranked air conditioners

Displaying his trademark 'I will create a problem to make a point' approach to international politics, Donald Trump has put out a statement saying he will decertify “all aircraft made in Canada.”

This means grounding all these aircraft, & will have significant consequences for wildfire aviation.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social

How is Israel President Isaac Herzog signing artillery shells destined to be fired upon Gazan civilians not a form of deadly serious hate speech?

You must rescind his invitation now. This is cynical hypocrisy of the worst kind.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
