‘Now is the hour’: Labor urged to speed up fossil fuel phase-out to justify Cop30 pledge
Despite Australia signing the Belem declaration, Albanese rejected suggestion Labor shouldn’t develop new gas fields

The Albanese government is being urged to explain how it will drive a fossil fuel phase-out, after it joined dozens of countries at a UN climate summit to back a declaration that the world should quickly wean off coal, gas and oil.
Australia signed up to the declaration on a just transition away from fossil fuels at a side event at the Cop30 conference in the Brazilian city of Belem, which finished on Saturday night local time, more than 24 hours after the scheduled close. Continue reading...

It emerges in this report that the PLA (Port of London Authority) has had 106 petrochemical spills in the last 5 years. With zero publicity. Is the PLA just like the water companies?
In August, 25,000 kilograms of ‘toxic’ tar was spilled in the Thames. Why was no-one told?
This is a saga of broken valves, anonymous whistleblowers and hundreds of undisclosed oil spills.

Nor can we function at temperatures of over 40 degrees c
There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
