New research warns of the accelerating rate of tree death across Australia
New research warns of the accelerating rate of tree death across Australia
Across Australia, more trees are dying, and at a rate faster than they can be replaced by new growth. New research led by Western Sydney University found trees in all types of ecosystems, from tropical rainforests to eucalypt forests, are thinning as the climate warms.

Why is the Australian Government still using a site that shows CSAM on prompt? Seems like they actually don't care about kids at all. ( they don't. Not yours anyway)

That bad-faith actors like SuSSan Ley are happy to say anything, however nonsensical, b/c they believe it to be to their political advantage is one thing; but the claim -- a version of 'horseshoe theory' -- itself has Nazi origins.
Ofc, an historical ignoramus like Ley neither knows nor cares.

Pressed on why she described far-right neo-Nazis as “far-left”, Sussan Ley says these are just “political concepts” and can be framed however you like. 🤔
I don’t think so, Sussan. Left neo-Nazis?

In country after country, far-right populists offer easy solutions to often non-existent crises, fuelling xenophobia, jealousy, rage for votes. Once in power, they (ab)use their position, serve themselves, & keep people angry while solving nothing. Those who have not yet realised this don't want to.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard.
Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist.

This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.
