Countries above have used their resources to benefit their citizens (while continuing a high tax regime).

Australian govts hv squandered Australia's resources to enrich foreign corporations (while using tax reform as a political football).

And whilst they are there, the govt should be collecting billions for our sovereign wealth fund too (eg Norway)- but no- just giving it away!

Australia doesn't have a gas supply problem, we have a gas export problem.

Good to see the govt considering diverting export gas to the 🇦🇺 market. This should apply to existing projects. There's simply no need for new gas.

Looming east coast gas reserve could cut prices by 20pc
Labor is targeting a domestic reservation system that would ensure enough extra gas to bring down prices but not so much that producers rein in output.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Superb aerial footage of Zanskar mountains (Ladakh, India)! 🤩

The accumulation area of the mighty Drang Drung glacier (largest gl. in Zanskar with ~70 km²) is visible at foreground 🧊

Nun-Kun massif (7,135 m) in the distance! 🏔️🏔️

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

A shot from inside a cave looking out at the Mediterranean Sea. Snorkeling amongst some rocks near Damoni Beach on Crete, I saw this cave so I swam in. It was about 30 meters deep and I ended up in waist deep water. It was incredibly peaceful in there until I started thinking about snakes and freaked myself out. #landscape #greece #crete #Mediterranean #caves #snorkel Man, look at that swath of green water. Ever sea in Greece was that beautiful.

So the right wing is getting agitated by an editorial snafu in a programme aired in 2024 for statements made by Trump in 2021 which led to an insurrection (as per conviction is the US courts and findings by the US Senate)…

The only thing I have to say on this Remembrance Sunday is to quote, verbatim, what Harry Patch had to say about the First World War:
"When the war ended, I don't know if I was more relieved that we'd won or that I didn't have to go back. Passchendaele was a disastrous battle—thousands and thousands of young lives were lost. It makes me angry. Earlier this year, I went back to Ypres to shake the hand of Charles Kuentz, Germany's only surviving veteran from the war. It was emotional. He is 107. We've had 87 years to think what war is. To me, it's a licence to go out and murder. Why should the British government call me up and take me out to a battlefield to shoot a man I never knew, whose language I couldn't speak? All those lives lost for a war finished over a table. Now what is the sense in that?" Quotation from the British WWI veteran Harry Patch, in November 2004

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
