Feeling sick to my stomach about Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaching SE QLD. Around 4 million people live in this area. Buildings this far south are not built to withstand cyclones. How much do we need to lose before we take climate change seriously?

Fmr Senator Doug Cameron: fossils are only considered a 'cheap' energy source because they have never paid for their externalities - their waste, their environmental impacts or their social cost.

The way things are going in the US, I have grave fears that PubMed/Medline won’t survive 2025. All you need is Trump/Kennedy/Musk insisting that studies they don’t like are pulled from PubMed, the database guardians refusing to do it and the funding gets pulled. Looking like mid year

Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised but I'm still shocked by how few media commentators are calling out Trump and his actions for what they are. He's truly malevolent and unhinged and his regime's agenda will pose a serious threat to society.

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

We’re seeing the state capture of political parties by fossil fuel companies. They’re putting short term profits ahead of protecting the people and places we love.
We need the moral courage to end this and legislate a duty of care to young people.

Fossil fuels are back with a vengeance! And the world is cooking
The fossil fuel industry is fighting back harder than ever against those who would seek to curtail it to protect the climate. Profits are up, political pressure for change is down. Meanwhile, the plan...

Using the term ‘rotator cuff related shoulder pain’ to describe non specific shoulder pain makes zero sense!
Its like calling non specific low back pain… disc related back pain!
Why use a specific tissue to describe a non specific issue?

Picture an all-seeing eye scanning the dying Earth – and then lighting on our ‘solutions’ at Cop29 | George Monbiot
What would it witness in Azerbaijan? A species that knows it is destroying itself but is too greedy to change course, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
