www.smh.com.au/environment/... I’d argue the arson story was rooted in disinformation not misinformation. It goes to intent. But this is depressing either way. There’s emerging research showing ‘prebunking’ works to inoculate communities. We need urgent action on this in Australia.

smh.com.auHow the Black Summer fires failed to shift Australians’ climate viewsThe Black Summer fires that burnt 24 million hectares, killed at least 33 people and destroyed 3000 homes did not shift the opinions of climate sceptics.

www.smh.com.au/environment/... An important read: “Preparing for climate change could be a positive story, he says, a national project. We can’t tell China or the US or India what to do on emissions, but we “can make a really big difference to how lives are lived in Australia”. If we get on with it”

smh.com.au‘Never seen so many grown men cry’: The everyday Aussies who can’t afford another disaster“Adaptation” has not been at the forefront of climate change discussions, but many experts argue it is time to learn to prepare for – not simply react to –  the growing number of climate-linked disast...

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation. We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.

An interesting idea, as we continue through a catastrophic bushfire season. Victoria’s had three mega bushfires in the last 20’years, with only one in the prior 100 years . . .

My major new legislation, the Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act, authorizes California's attorney general to sue fossil fuel companies and hold them accountable for the increased insurance costs they've caused. Stay tuned.

Had the privilege of working with Jon Kudelka for most of my journalism career at two different papers. He was the best. An even better person than his cartoons were brilliant. Much love to his family and friends.

Multiple new fire starts from dry lightening as well as the very serious fires around Longwood and Walwa. Stay informed and safe everyone and follow the directions of emergency services

Make sure you have the VicEmergency App and have set your watch zone to where you will be tomorrow. A battery operated digital radio is also recommended as a second information source.
