As @doctorvive.bsky.social has pointed out a quadrillion times, it such a moment of significant and extreme alarm that fossi lfuel industry talking points are being shamelessly and bluntly repeated by people like this

Very, very, very grim
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

Energy independence is a good thing. This scares big energy producers as we need them less. Sign the Petition for a Rooftop Solar Pledge - to double rooftop solar, especially for locked out homes - by 2035 www.solarcitizens.org.au/rooftop_sola... #SolarEnergy #energy #EnergySecurity
Sign the Petition for a Rooftop Solar Pledge!

Farage is a grifter, just like Trump.

A vote for Reform is a vote against young people, climate action, transparency, ethnic minorities, the NHS, poor people & regulations (which protect us from various things).

Reform also won't solve the issue of immigration or the boats. #Democracy #UK
What's behind Nigel Farage's deregulation plans for corporations?

Follow the money 👀

He isn't a party leader. He's a CEO. And his investors have spoken.

People who feel politics isn't working for them become less engaged and apathetic. They feel the fringe parties offer them something - hope that things can be different.

It's really quite simple: We need hope, not more of the same
Politics is not complicated. And anyone who pretends it is, has the luxury of not having spent their lives beholden to it.

Misinformation is something I've been warning about for years. Govt is probably too slow to keep up. Best to educate ourselves and others where possible.
Exposed: PR firms spread climate misinformation

PR firms spread climate misinformation for fossil fuel companies
PR and advertising firms have long been paid to craft political campaigns for oil and gas companies often to block or slow climate policies.

If oil prices rise and stay elevated, consumers will seek better options. Could it accelerate the shift to electric vehicles?

You can’t stand at the podium claiming climate leadership and then greenlight a project that dumps over a decade’s worth of emissions into the atmosphere.

The Woodside extension is a test of Labor’s climate integrity, and right now, it’s failing.

Probably a whole lot of “farmers” with their “farm” in their super live in Wentworth.
The 80,000 Australians with super accounts worth more than $3 million make up a tiny, if immensely privileged and very loud, part of the Australian electorate. And a fair proportion of them live in Allegra Spender's seat of Wentworth.
Super stoush reveals teals’ leanings
The attacks on Labor’s proposed superannuation tax reform have exposed inconsistencies in the progressive agendas of the independents.
