The Australian government claims it will meet its 2030 emissions target almost entirely due to an assumption that it will meet its renewable energy target.

This is an input to the projection, not an output.

It's honestly very hard to see how this will happen.

Say hello to Jim.
THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has:

* killed 345 Palestinians,

* denied food to 70% of the population who need it,

* demolished a further 1,500 buildings.

All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.

Ironically, that's the same lesson Labor takes for itself from its wins.
PM Albanese says it’s crazy that after two humiliating election defeats in a row where Labor smashed the Coalition, that the lesson they’ve learned is
“that they need to be more right wing, more sceptical, more in denial about climate change”🔥 #auspol

It really is something that Elon personally tanked the EV side of the business and his plan to turn things around is "robots" and investors haven't crushed each other trying to get out the door
Tesla's EU sales were down 48.5% in October, and are down 30% in a year-to-date when EV sales are up 26%.

Tesla's China sales fell 35.8% in October, for an 8.4% decline year-to-date.

Tesla's US sales fell 24% in October, after incentives expired.

IT'S HAPPENING!

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise
