“The principal purpose of Carbon Capture & Storage has never been to tackle the climate crisis. Instead, CCS serves to align public opinion & government policies with the fossil fuel industry’s plans for unrestricted expansion under the cover of “net-zero". www.nationalobserver.com/2022/04/06/o...

This seems like a big deal

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

Just an innocent guy burying evidence in a pink lunch box in his back yard:

For decades we were told that this plant could exist because “carbon capture and storage” was going to sequester carbon in bedrock — Dear Reader, they told that lie so they could sell gas.

This is where the “capture and storage” plant that we were promised that has NEVER worked

BRS talking to Fordham for 2.5 hours!

A new Bloomberg analysis shows ~3,000 MTCO2-e of extra US power pollution between 2025-2035 thanks to data centre growth. That is: = 84 new coal plants /yr = 33k lost jobs globally = 1.2m more ppl pushed into unlivable climate

Anthropic outlines its approach to "responsible data centre development", and........explicitly promises to carpet bomb communities with massive, polluting new fossil gas plants. This is what your Claude subscription is enabling: web.archive.org/web/20261016...

Really wild......former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has published a piece in @foreignaffairs.com that seems to be mostly a ripoff of @karenhao.bsky.social book 'Empire of AI'.....the title of the articles 'Empires of AI' Karen's work isn't cited or mentioned at all?? archive.ph/jvf4s

I would have only lost $50bn

On the day her second leg was amputated following the terrible incident in Wangaratta, Helen Haines has asked people to demonstrate their support through a donation to Save The Children. This is why I’m so proud of my local MP. www.savethechildrenfundraising.org.au/helenhaines

Uh oh, according to the SMH, Kim Kong nearly died.

Chip in for Helen Haines

Helen Haines has crashed Save The Children

Much love to the Haines family they have a hard road ahead

The group behind They Vote For You — are in need of a bit of dosh to keep them going — It's Not A Race just chipped in — if you can spare some $$ chip in here:. donate.oaf.org.au

This separatist movement was mostly just a small bunch of terminally online people pumped up by the anger algorithm and convinced they represented the majority

Good.

I am still astonished that I can fill up my car with sunshine

Some quick thoughts on Helen Haines —

Doubting Tommy asks Jesus if he disavows allegiance to the Spanish Inquisition

Just scheduling this so it posts DEEP into the North American timezone www.instagram.com/reel/Dei1tQI...

What has happened to Helen Haines today is awful. She’s a personal hero and champion of her electorate. Simply one of the kindest and smartest MPs. No one doing their job engaging with their constituents in public should have to face violence.

Please please please be OK @helenhainesindi.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️

Gosh — Helen is simply the nicest and one of the smartest people in parliament: www.smh.com.au/national/hel...

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

You guys I’m worried that we were tricked by AUKUS

Love to see the Minister caught in either incompetence or a lie by work I put out last month. No, Minister King: Your government hasn't even come close to implementing the Pepper Inquiry's recommendations on Beetaloo. You don't get to claim completion when you're less than 5% of the way there.

On this, Scott Mitchell has a good piece in Lamestream about this latest example of epic cluelessness from ABC executives www.lamestream.com.au/exclusive-ab...

Adding my two cents to the DON’T SILENCE JOURNALISTS campaign by @withmeaa.bsky.social The ABC is Australia’s public broadcaster and it has no business hauling the president of the union in for disciplinary chats for the heinous misdemeanour of … [checks notes] wanting to report on corporations

When olives are one of your last agricultural resources, how incredibly cruel to have them destroyed by “settlers” for no other reason than to make your life there unliveable. While beating up a foreign photo-journalist. Aided and abetted by Israeli soldiers.

Seriously — the renewable industry can't see that social licence is the most significant obstacle to their success: reneweconomy.com.au/anti-renewab...

Thanks Mumbrella — "Anika Wells’ office confirmed to Mumbrella that the minister did not appear in the video." mumbrella.com.au/dan-ilic-dee...

It's petty, unconstructive and vengeful, but we should still spend a lot of time rubbing this in the faces of everyone who said this is hysteria, as a little treat for ourselves

We are using the same energy sources as Queen Victoria in the 1890s (coal & gas) because while that's fatal for the planet, it makes up to hundreds of rich people even richer.

Lord grant me the entitlement of someone tasting all the flavours at Messina.

This is my resting Australian public service face — I tried really hard to audition for The Shakedown, but didn’t get it.
