A secret report – which the WA government itself commissioned – has challenged gas industry and government claims that WA gas will help the world shift from fossil fuels to clean energy.
It's almost like the gas industry has a vested interest. #climate #auspol

Sorry those projections use the “cold models” that have lost all credibility.
The “hot models” that have been far more accurate show warming closer to 0.4C per decade *at the moment*. That rate is accelerating and could reach 0.5C per decade by 2030.
2C is likely to be crossed between 2034-39.

How does Israel get a free pass to conduct a public genocide?
I know they have lobbyists. Whatevs. Lots of companies/countries do
How do they (ONLY them) get a free pass to commit abhorrent barbarity and murder for nearly two years, unchecked? Literal war crimes
Does anyone actually know how?
