If you’re moving from coal to toxic fossil methane gas, you’re NOT transitioning at all.

Methane is a fossil fuel. And it leaks into the atmosphere at EVERY stage from extraction to processing to transport to use.

Methane is 80+x more heating in the atmosphere than CO2.

NO MORE COAL, OIL OR GAS.
Has anyone ever managed to call out Albanese et al when they say 'gas is an important transitional fue to net zero' when it just really will be needed domestically for industry and limited use at peak times, and not to sell several fucktons of it overseas like Australia mostly does?

EU commission president von der Leyen said today the EU isn't fighting fossil fuels, only the *emissions* from fossil fuels

total nonsense, we can't separate fossil fuels from carbon emissions

even IF we could, they're a disaster for health, nature & human rights even before you burn them

Gas use for electricity generation in Australia is plummeting.

Down 50% over the past decade (!!!) in the NEM on the east coast.

Gas has a small role that's getting smaller and will be absolutely crushed by big batteries in the electricity.

Not a transition fuel, no matter what BS the PM pushes.

It’s not a ceasefire if the perpetrators of violence keep shooting, bombing, starving, murdering the victims.

It’s a continuation of Israel’s genocide.

It’s 39 degrees Celsius outside, still Spring & us Sydneysiders know which way the wind is blowing. So if you’re lucky enough to be inside NOW is a good time to write to the Minister for Environment and say put #Climate and #Environment first. Please.
🚨Right now, the Albanese government is making the most important changes to our national environment laws in a generation.

It’s time for clear, enforceable standards that actually protect the places and wildlife we love.

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️
