Live simply so others can simply live. Climate change is a global crisis. CO2 pollution kills. Polluters should pay. Refugees need our support. #SDGs

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗 These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons. ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

U.N. FINALLY RECOGNIZES- IT'S TOO LATE FOR 1.5°C James Hansen this month again warned, we are now looking at over 2°C. Big economy world governments still ignore this. They still subsidize more fossil fuels and condemn the whole world and our future to 3°C - unprecedented evil. press.un.org/en/2025/sgsm228… #globalwarming. #climatechange

Chris Bowen is very down to earth, evidence driven & impressive. He gets shit done. That’s why the climate denying right hate him so much.

I think Chris Bowen is the right man for the job to get us through the transition to renewables period. Investment uptick is huge on renewable projects, rooftop solar is surpassing expectations. Cost of doing nothing is too great. If you disagree with me please block me!

Trump gave the 1% a trillion in tax breaks. Now he’s working overtime to block SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans who rely on them. Tax breaks for billionaires. Cuts for hungry kids. We must stand up to Trumpism and build a government that works for all — not just the few.

“The more Australians learn about the #AUKUS sub program, the more skeptical they become”. People don’t have to be a submariner (as I am) to work out the $368B ‘deal’ is a dud, they just need common sense. Clearly that’s missing from our national security leadership. #auspol

Istanbul, a city of 16 million, could run out of water by 2050. Iraq’s biggest reservoir has already hit “dead water” for the first time in half a century. This is what collapse looks like: rivers drying, cities thirsting, and leaders lying that we still have time.

Australia has a long history of dodgy deals around offshore detention. We’ve repeatedly paid hundreds of millions of dollars to companies linked to alleged criminal activities. Again and again the Morrison and Albanese govts have hidden the details of those deals. It’s a disgrace. theage.com.au/national/mind-…

This is what happens when govts abandon their obligation to build a good society, capitulate to “the market” and ignore the principle of housing as a human right. This is an easy fix. Legislate to outlaw developer apartheid against social tenants and build more public housing.

Norway struck oil in the 1960s. Now, almost a quarter of its national budget is funded through its sovereign wealth fund. How does Australia compare with taxing its resources?

New Zealand has just halved its emissions target! A country once seen as a climate leader is now walking backwards into collapse. This is what betrayal looks like — polished, polite, and deadly. theguardian.com/world/2025/o…

New Zealand accused of ‘full-blown climate denial’ over cuts to methane reduction targets

Farmers praised the move, but scientists and opposition parties criticised it as ‘weak’ and ‘unambitious’
