So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.

Thank you to the nuclear decay creating the molten rock beneath our feet that creates the planet size magnet we live on that deflects the radiation from the star size fusion reaction that’s been going for billions of years. Thank you for the light show and radiation shielding.

Disappearing jewels. Today’s Age cartoon
BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"
For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

If we do not acknowledge and address climate change we are buggered as a species. Forget house prices, Ukraine, Gaza, and any other man made political distraction, climate change will kill us, and our children. Wake up.

“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.
Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable
Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

Australia’s traffic pollution problem:
• 3,700 premature deaths/year from air pollution • 51% linked to traffic = 1,800 lives lost
• Sitting in traffic = high exposure
• EVs reduce emissions, but not exposure
• Trains & quiet streets = cleaner air
Ev tax not a good idea yet. #auspol

Australia’s future nuclear submarines will produce highly radioactive waste, and allies in the UK and the US still don’t have a safe place to store their own

In the cold deep waters of Rosyth Harbour lie the dormant hulks of Britain’s decommissioned nuclear submarines.
One of the shells lashed to the dock here is HMS Dreadnought, Britain’s first nuclear-powered submarine. It was commissioned in 1963, retired in 1980, and has spent decades longer tied to a harbour than it ever did in service. The spent nuclear fuel removed from its reactor remains in temporary storage.
