The Australian government's largest science agency, CSIRO, has become an enabler of the fossil fuel industry, promoting massive imports of CO₂ for injection into Australian gas fields (to push out more pollution), and to claim fictitious net-zero "offsets".

Fascinating to see Amy Remeikis dropping all these truth bombs about the true agenda behind Dutton’s nuclear push in her new role working for @australiainstitute.org.au. She’s had to leave mainstream media to say this - all of it factual, watchdog journalism. Why can’t mainstream say it too?
When Peter Dutton releases the nuclear ‘costings’ later this week (as he’s committed) keep your eye on what’s actually at stake - the necessary energy transition

Make no mistake, colleagues: the exclusion of humanities & social science research from national competitive funding could easily happen here in Australia. The signs & actors are already clear. We let it happen at our collective peril.
This is so backward
1. Science is more than just commercialisable widgetry
2. Making progress on our biggest problems (climate change, infectious diseases, misinfo to name a few) will need more collaboration between STEM and hum/social sci not less.
