I think the world needs a new label for someone who has recently become concerned about the environmental impacts of renewable energy, but not the environmental impacts of any other form of development, especially fossil fuels or nuclear. Bespoke environmentalist? Niche greenie? All ideas welcome.

Happy 2025 bluesky. Feeling like this year is going to be a bloody slog in the fight for a liveable planet. Always good to have some Rebecca Solnit; "The old certainties are crumbling fast, but danger and possibility are sisters. The future is dark, with a darkness as much of the womb as the grave"

No idea why anyone in the ALP cabinet would bother turning up to work when you have the PM doing this shite

Remember the Nature Positive Summit in October? Now that that photo shoots out of the way the ALP can get on with BAU capitulating to the worst of the mining and fossil fuel lobby. No wonder the country is disenchanted by politics.

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it

So much rubbish in WA govs CCUS plan. Lumping everything into the category of 'hard to abate' when really this only applies to cement and a few other niche activities. Most use cases in here not climate solutions, just fossil fuel lifelines www.wa.gov.au/government/p...

Anyone else remember that widget that would turn any news article photo of Tony Abbott into a cat? Would appreciate a similar one for the incoming US president thanks (but maybe a dog because im a dog person, and doesnt have to be a cute one).

So here goes with another platform. Twitter taught me to get to the point and also brought me new friends. Linkedin taught me fake humility and performative praise. What will bluesky teach me?

if you’re a #labor or #coalition supporter, i’ll understand if you want to avoid eye contact today…

the 2 major parties are ramming through a set of anti-democratic changes to the fundamental settings of our democracy…

entrenching incumbency, undermining fair elections.
