‘Between 2023 and 2035, Australia’s fossil fuel exports alone will consume 7.5% of the world’s remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C. That’s not policy.
That’s arson.’ 🔥🌏📣 Fight like your house is on fire. Take action wherever you can. urbanwronski.com/2025/11/05/n...
Net Zero, poor thing, never stood a chance
Net Zero began as a technical phrase in climate science and ended up as a punchline in Australian politics — mangled by MPs who wouldn’t know a carbon cycle from a spin cycle. Here’s what it really…

On 1/8/25 XRSA held a peaceful die-in inside the Santos lobby to protest the fossil fuel company’s complicity in the climate-induced SA algal bloom (Karenia mikimotoi) killing our sea creatures.
Oil & gas = ocean heating = marine deaths.
7 brave activists were arrested and charged with trespass.

XRSA Rebels & friends yesterday called out Westpac’s decision to bankroll more fossil fuel projects even as the climate and environmental crisis worsens around the planet… including on our doorstep 🐠☠️ Watch the action: www.facebook.com/share/v/19db... #StopFundingFossilFuels #WestpacDeathMerchants

✍️ Tell Westpac not to finance Woodside!

The horrific scale of #climate pollution from Woodside's North West Shelf project has been in the spotlight this week. It's time for #Westpac to cut ties with Australia's biggest oil and gas company. Take action ⬇️

In-short: Take action – tell Westpac it’s messed up and must fix its broken climate policy Tell Westpac it has betrayed its climate commitments and must not provide climate-wrecking Woodside any more ...

“This decade we are realising how much damage and death can be caused openly, without any shame. Genocidal countries know it, and the fossil fuel industry knows it, too.” But we will fight this fatalism with all our might. #ActNow

Forget climate denial, Labor's tactical fatalism will burn us all
The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead.

Make polluters pay. Woodside. Santos. Chevron-Caltex. BHP. Glencore. Shell. Tamboran. Empire. ConocoPhillips. Inpex. They sell lies and leave a trail of death and destruction for communities to clean up.⌛️#ClimateCriminals #JoinTheRebellion
Why should the community put funds into a ‘flood relief fund’ when the corporations causing the floods pay nothing and are afforded billions in subsidies? ‘Polluter pays’ principle must apply. Put a levy on fossil extraction and export! #auspol

Here it is, finally. The truth.

In a landmark #greenwashing legal case brought by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social, #EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels & apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its carbon #offsetting product

"The climate crisis, the billionaire capture of governments, the genocide in Gaza, the logging of native forests, the destruction of our oceans. None of these will be addressed without public pressure. They need our voices. They need our resistance." Now more than ever we must #SpeakTruthToPower

⚖️ "Climate researchers say they have come up with a method to link individual fossil fuel producers with specific climate harms in a way that would allow courts to quantify the economic loss.[...] the paper is significant for showing that accountability is possible." Time to #makepolluterspay

New research suggests a way to link oil, gas and coal companies to specific climate harms.

“A new review of 50 recent studies finds that protests tend to sway media coverage and public opinion toward the climate cause, without appearing to backfire, even when disruptive tactics are used.”https://grist.org/protest/climate-protests-effects-hands-off-trump/
What do climate protests actually achieve? More than you think.
The evidence is in: Protests can persuade people, and maybe even change how they vote, according to recent studies.

Early today 2 XRSA Rebels locked on at Santos’ Port Bonython loading facility to draw attention to its ongoing production and export of oil — in the midst of a climate crisis. They were later arrested and released on bail, court date tba. Action taken on unceded Barngala country. #endfossilfuelsnow✊

Yesterday XRSA were back at Santos HQ Adelaide for our regular #SantosWeAreWatchingYou action. We will not give up, and not stop putting pressure on this criminal fossil fuel giant that is expanding while the planet heads for a 3+ degree rise. Fabulous chalking! #EndFossilFuels #footoffthegas

XRSA was at Santos HQ again yesterday for our regular Santos We Are Watching You action. With characteristic chalking, drumming and chanting, the message for this action was again targeting shareholders ahead of the Santos AGM next month:There's no future in fossil fuels - sell your Santos shares!

Right through the period where the world has been - falteringly and much too slowly! - coming together to act on climate change, Australia has quadrupled it exported climate harm from selling coal and gas!

This is a deeply unserious country.

Today’s XRSA action outside Santos HQ warned shareholders before the AGM on 10 April: There is no future in fossil fuels. #strandedassets

Brave Rebel Anna glued onto the glass entrance. She was later arrested and will appear in court in May.

This action took place on unceded Kaurna Country.

Our planets being destroyed for money and also, where’s democracy gone?!
But together we build something better.

We’re making our own future, one based on compassion, care for our surroundings and a democracy where people are heard.
