Miners exaggerating tax. Again.

What's new is that this is so demonstrably false.

Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know.

The IPA has a new report which finds, it's not climate breakdown that is causing anxiety in children, but the evil of sustainability lessons. 🤔

Thanks to every news outlet that has ignored this nonsense (not News Corp).

UPDATE!

Queensland Museum has removed some of its Shell-sponsored education materials from its website following our report into systemic bias.

Unfortunately the Shell logo remains ⛽😷

⛽Shell's Queensland gas business is funding science lessons for hundreds of thousands of students and teachers, via the Queensland Museum.

Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

We're thrilled to report that Victorian public schools must now consider climate change when choosing sponsors.

We've seen shocking cases of coal, petrol and gas companies push misinformation through school programs.

The United Nations climate talks in Brazil was the first to formally recognise that 'information integrity' is a vital part of phasing out fossil fuels.

Here's three steps COP organisers and leaders nations should take now to put that into action.

COP30 TEXT ANALYSIS: One way to read dense COP text is to focus on the verbs. These are helpfully italicised – and for good reason.

MOSTLY INACTIVE: Carbon Brief analysis of the “global mutirão” text finds 69 inactive verbs, requiring no action, against 32 active verbs.

Fossil-fuel phaseout is the only true solution — and the only message that industry will never (indeed *can* never) appropriate and weaponize.

Comms Declare has written to the National Press Club #NPC asking that tomorrow’s talk by Future Coal Chief Executive, Michelle Manook be cancelled.

They declined, so we produced this handy bingo card to help viewers spot the climate obstruction and #greenwashing

Massive congratulations to @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social for kicking Woodside out of their university. Thanks to @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social for taking up the cause of clean sponsorships!
Announced by us yesterday, and confirmed today thanks to the work of Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social, Monash will end its partnership with #WoodsideEnergy.

When they discuss changes in community expectations, we know what they mean; it’s all of you who joined us on this journey.

Thanks to all!

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC

Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers.

It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

As COP30 begins today, Clean Creatives is releasing an open letter from influencers and creators with a combined audience of over 24 million, urging the UN and COP30 to pause new work with Edelman due to conflicts of interest. What’s the conflict?

The National’s new coal-sponsored anti-climate platform is a masterclass in cherry picking, half truths and distraction dressed up as an environment policy.

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published.

Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom
Bari Weiss vs. climate change
At The Free Press, Weiss consistently rebrands tired fossil fuel talking points as courageous, rebellious dissent.

A big thanks to those that dug into the Nationals decision to drop net zero and discovered it was based on “research” from the Coal Australia lobby group.
