He’s so close to his target of $15,000. Can some of you good folk help the very tired birthday boy get there before bed, which is rapidly approaching! Thanks for everyone’s support.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 8h

He's done it! And, in a time of 8:58:12!

He battled nasty asthma from a cold he's had all week, heat, & of course * 100 km * of running!

@scidocmartin.bsky.social & I couldn't be prouder parents.

Happy 18th, Rohan!

If you're able to donate to his mental health fundraiser, please do! Thanks :)

He’s super wheezy due to a cold, alas, but he’s sticking it out. He’s so tough.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 14h

He did his first 50km in 3:50:46!
It’s not an official time, but the under 20 record was 5:28:07.

I'm sure they know, they just don't give a flying duck. But nevertheless, whoever proposed this nonsense and whoever approved it, should be embarrassed; it's genuinely moronic. Greenwashing at its most existential worst.

Just another industry-captured career politician, happy to support ecocide to maintain his power and privilege.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 1d

The absolutely moronic notions of 'offsets', 'no net loss' & 'like for like', on a finite planet with ecosystems that typically vary substantially across space, & take hundreds, sometimes thousands of years, to form. The sheer arrogance & ignorance of it all. Appalling, embarrassing & deceitful.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 1d

It is truly moronic. The people proposing this bs should be embarrassed.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 2d

They get it. They just don't give a flying duck!

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social style!

Steve Baty (He/him) @docbaty.bsky.social · 2d

We could, and I know this will sound controversial, just… not… destroy the environment in order to extract more coal.

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 2d

They won't find ALL the hollows.
They won't be able to extract ALL the hollows.
Many hollows will break, while attempting to extract and relocate them.
Gliders won't use many of the relocated hollows.
Greater gliders WILL die.
This is a disgrace!

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 2d

The utter sham of offsets, yet again...

“Destroying the equivalent of 40 MCGs worth of greater glider habitat and then attempting to relocate all hollows and claim this somehow offsets the harm to greater gliders is genuinely deluded, and contemptuous.” - me

Qld coalmine expansion approved by Albanese government will clear habitat and fuel climate crisis, scientists say
