"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal.

‘no matter what you do, if you want to delay the transition to renewables, you need more expensive forms of power, and higher taxes, for longer.’

Net zero opponents: Sneering elites who want higher taxes, higher prices and bigger government
Forget about carbon emissions — retreating from net zero means higher power costs and higher taxes for all Australians. It's an expensive, elitist culture war.

Hello #booksky
i have just finished a ripper of a novel- ‘A particularly nasty dose’ written by Adam Kay of ‘this is going to hurt’ fame.
Raunchy whodunnit with a sting in the tail and lots of lessons to be learnt about bigotry and unkindness.
A million ⭐️

‘The government’s target is not the ceiling for our ambition—it is just the floor on which we come together and build climate solutions at the scale and speed needed to cap warming at 1.5°C—which remains an absolutely non-negotiable goal.’
Vai Shah is a friend of mine, so I'm contractually obliged to love this, but also it's just objectively great.

Thanks @parentsforclimate.bsky.social for giving her the opportunity!

In no way should it take a UN body to issue a report for people to accept this, *but* this does clearly does help get the normies activated and aware (particularly when published on an outlet like the ABC). Send it around!

Some time ago, I began a practice of organising and recording quotes and chunks of wisdom, music and book recommendations and travel goals. Its called a commonplace book. I opened it up again today after a long break. It took me where I needed to be! Today’s guide was Aldous Huxley…

💙 Australian fiction recommendation today:
Lyrebird by Jane Caro.
A cold case murder mystery with wonderful characters and a clever plot. Subthemes of climate change, human trafficking and women’s rights.

Agreed

Training to be a doctor is necessarily long because, simply put, medicine is complex
