I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

If you are American and not this angry, outraged, gutted, you are (a) not paying attention or (b) a moral vacuum.
This young woman makes too much sense and gives me hope for the future of this country.

The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of global military carbon emissions are from the United States.

Working class people cooling their apartments with air conditioning is not the problem.

Not so fun fact about measles

Those who survive without immediate disability are still at risk for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (fatal progressive brain inflammation) which can occur months to even years later

Fun fact about measles

Vaccination saves lives and brains
As of July 6, the United States reported 1,281 measles cases in 2025, the highest total since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000.

"As I was filming, people came to me and said: look at your forehead. There were three green laser dots on my head: private armed U.S. contractors who were guarding the site were pointing their weapons at my head. One spoke through a loudspeaker, in English: 'No filming allowed.'"

Toxic algal blooms are killing dolphins, sharks, rays and other marine life in South Australian waters, in the same week that reversal of current flows are reported for the first time in the Southern Ocean.

But still our government approves massive polluting gas projects like the North West shelf.

I think most people (myself included) don’t have an intuition for orders of magnitude (e.g., the difference between millionaire and billionaire).

One way to appreciate this is time, since we all experience it. Here's the difference between a thousand, a million, and a billion seconds.

This is terrible news.

What AMOC reversing means, isn’t just more southern ocean ice melting, it also means possible doubling of CO2 emissions caused by unlocking deep ocean CO2

Woodside & all recent additions should be cancelled by our irresponsible stupid gov

We have the technology to prevent #COVID it’s not inevitable to get infected.

Use a Hepa air purifier or build a Corsi-Rosenthal Box

Open windows regularly every hour

Monitor co2 levels- try to keep under 800 ppm

Get vaccinated, if possible.

Wear an ffp2/3 in all indoor shared air spaces

“Unvaccinated women who contracted COVID during pregnancy were at higher risk of stillbirths. They were more likely to be admitted to ICU, give birth prematurely or die. Yet their greatest protection, the COVID vaccine, sat untouched, buried under doubt, polluted by disinformation”
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down?

Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate
The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.

And it's being slowly destroyed.

If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.
