Two reasons why market forces can’t save the climate and environment. Firstly, climate and environmental damage are costs not captured by the market. Secondly, the fossil carbon (and now also tech) oligarchy has enough wealth and power to reshape the political economy away from the free market 1/

For what it's worth, Resolve is not even a member of the Australian Polling Council 🤷🏼♀️
Badly worded poll published by the SMH, which implies that it’s more costly overall/less affordable to reach net zero. Verging on a push poll.
Despite this, a majority of Australians still support net zero.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

If the Liberals ever want to be in government again they need to stop listening to the goblins at Advance and listen to ordinary people.

The right-wing lobby group Advance has launched a last-minute lobbying campaign to pressure Liberal MPs to dump a net zero emissions target at a special meeting in Canberra on Wednesday.
The campaign group emailed supporters on Tuesday afternoon urging them to flood the inboxes of Liberal MPs with a generic anti-net zero message in the hours leading up to the crunch talks. Continue reading...

Hot take: the Coalition doesn't really care about net zero or climate, it's just their current proxy culture war. What do you reckon?

Is going to prison the most necessary thing though? 1000s have been arrested. Would them going to prison make that much difference?
I’ve spent eight years trying to get people to take part in civil disobedience.
Only 300 have gone to prison in that time. It’s not enough. Real change needs 500, maybe 1,000, willing to act — and to do it together, in a single month.
That’s how policy shifts. That’s how history turns.

We underestimate 63-year-old white male know-it-alls at our peril. He's the reason EV sales are slow in Australia. He's the reason we don't have transmission lines or large scale renewable developments. And it's not because he fundamentally opposes them.
He *just hates* being wrong.

I cannot tell you much I needed to read this today. *Cries in very defeated climate campaigner*
Something this book really drilled home (scuse the pun) is that we're not stalled out on climate because scientists didn't model hard enough or campaigners didn't come up with the perfect message, but because the world's most powerful spent gazillions to sabotage action.

Hey #abc730 why a profile of the sad dorks of the young Liberal Party of NSW? Why not a profile of the young greens or young socialists. Also why talk up Freya Leach as one half of a ‘power couple’ (sqwawk), and not mention her hosting a Zionist wearing bacon on SkyNews and getting cancelled?
