Honestly I think I clocked this not because he invested in solar geoengineering or biofuels OR when he wrote that god awful climate book but it was when his daughter said that the most sustainable thing you could do was use less plastic straws

I know their dinner table talk is bad

I've been listening (and knitting) to the hearing on Youtube and have found Matt Canavan's rebuttals to his party's astroturfing really interesting.

It's almost like seeing the research play out in real time - would love to chat to you about this!

According to Timmons, the lawyers suing the lab, Nancie + Roger Marzulla "are hard-right libertarian lawyers who have been fighting major environmental laws since the 80s"

"They have connections to the Reagan + Trump Administration, oil producers, tobacco firms, Koch, Heartland insitute, etc"

The chair of the Climate Change Authority is advising the govt on policy that affects the demand and supply of carbon credits WHILE ALSO employed by a firm that describes itself as "Generating high-integrity carbon credits".

Alex Ellinghausen The Australian Financial Review revealed on Monday that the former NSW Liberal treasurer and energy minister had become director of strategic partnerships and regulatory affairs at the climate and energy transition investment firm, less than two months after being appointed CCA chairman. The twin roles immediately triggered conflict-of-interest alarm bells among conservative MPs and public integrity campaigners. Stephen Bartos, a former head of the NSW budget watchdog and an ex-federal finance department deputy secretary, said he was a “fan” of Mr Kean’s past work on climate policy but that he should choose between the public and private sector jobs. screenshot: https://www.afr.com/policy/energy-and-climate/matt-kean-has-material-interests-in-carbon-credit-schemes-20250401-p5lo42 Matt Kean has ‘material interests’ in carbon credit schemes Paul Karp Paul Karp NSW political correspondent Apr 1, 2025 – 6.42pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 5 min Climate Change Authority chairman Matt Kean has material personal interests in three agricultural projects generating carbon credits through green investment firm Wollemi Capital, while at the same time advising the federal government about carbon farming and emissions targets.

The Australian Financial Review obtained Kean’s declarations to the register under the Freedom of Information Act.

The inquiry is largely pushed in light of the astroturfing going on in Australia, as studied by @jeremywalker.bsky.social and reported on by @cameronwilson.bsky.social
