Anarchism in action. #Anarchism #Serbia www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Planning for 3°C doesn't make it survivable - but it makes it seem so As Ben Shread-Hewitt and I explain in this recent article...

Some unhinged comments and quote posts on this. Machine learning with artificial neural networks has transformed the environmental sciences, and rightly deserved the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. This isn’t using a chatbot to predict hurricanes.

Coalition don’t care if you die of heatstroke in the coming years

As someone who covered Robodebt in part, it's clear nothing has really changed. Worse: the politics of federal Labor on social security are baffling. We keep hearing about how people have "lost trust in institutions". Wiping these debts seem a simple answer to help. Instead, they rewrote the rules.

Among the many things climate change deniers don’t understand is significance. They spend years looking for errors in climate data but don’t understand that what they find is almost always insignificant. It’s also why they’ll never be satisfied by any rigorous report on climate data.

A good person. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

"[Our research] found: - Every additional 100kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality; - Every additional 10cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. " theconversation.com/big-us-style...

50,000 deaths from heatwaves; without countries like Australia (one of the biggest exporters of coal) taking action, this number will only increase. So I hope Albo has something meaningful to say when he jets off to Turkey for the global climate conference.

Ever feel like you're actually living that nightmare in which you open your mouth to cry out, but no sound comes? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

All the spare car-making capacity in the world right now is just absurd. People want to buy cars less than countries are determined to make them. h/t Liam Denning - www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Affordability and a livable climate aren't zero-sum competitors the way politicians seem to think they are. You can't have one without the other. Take home insurance, which climate is making increasingly unaffordable Gift link to my @opinion.bloomberg.com column: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The warming will continue until we reach net zero emissions. At which point, we will need to live with whatever climate we’ve ended up in. The sooner we reach net zero, the less extreme that climate will be, and the easier and less costly it will be to adapt to it.

The average age of a car on the road in America has now passed 13 years. This is a new record high, and comes after the cost of both new and used cars has soared. The average new car in the U.S. costs just over $50,000, while the average price for a used vehicle is over $27,000.

This demonstrates much that's wrong with Labor politics [and media reporting it]: Unquestioning loyalty is framed as "discipline". Alternative views are "complaints". This has delivered us: - the stupidity of #AUKUS - complicity in a genocide, and - 'reform' that's put donors before people. #auspol

I'd strongly recommend a visit to the Refugi 307 bomb shelter in Poble-sec Barcelona, built in 1937 to protect residents from the fascist air raids. Sunday tours, booking here, 10.30 in Eng, 1130, Esp, 1230, Cat. www.barcelona.cat/museuhistori... 1/2

The Standardised Precipitation Index. (SPI-3) for the Western Cape in South Africa as the El Niño summer approaches. "No-regret preparedness" is honestly a non-negotiable!

credit where due: instead of heavy-handed 80s design clichés, Tesla is now ripping of turn-of-the-millennium Lamborghini design... which is technically progress, of a sort

Chris Wallace: “Albo is really a control freak of epic proportions,” says one senior party figure. “People thought Rudd was a control freak. Albo has his hands over every fucking thing.” The fact that Albanese can’t bring Minns to heel is a matter of immense frustration for the prime minister.”

Hi @adamtooze.bsky.social I worked as an aerodynamicist for decades, on submarines, passenger cars and F1 so I’m happy to review any podcast related to aerodynamics 😉

"Since January, almost 900,000 hectares have been burned Indonesia-wide in the worst fire season in more than a decade ... For months, millions of Indonesians have been subject to thick smoke and an apocalyptic tangerine haze ... Air quality has also plummeted in neighbouring countries..."

It’s almost here!

Are you saying we just need to lock up one ceo @chriskohlernews ?

👀 Mirrored box approach might surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit? “Scientists used a very thin layer of silver, thin enough to let most of the light through, operate as a conductor, and also behave partly like a mirror. This restricted the angles through which light could escape.”

Anyone still deluded by the thought that there's any fundamental difference between the #ALP & #LNP? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

"Whoever controls the dominant media controls, to a significant degree, which frameworks become available for making sense of political life and which remain marginal." Political journalists would do well to read Gramsci. Instead of uncritically reproducing their employers' narrative. #auspol

Wilderness is a western concept.

Episode 43 of The Power Current is out and we were fortunate to be able to speak to @elisabethbraw.bsky.social, author of the seminal new book titled 'Undersea War: The Battle to Control the Cables and Pipelines That Power the Global Economy' www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvGt...

Phones are a distraction engine. What if the ban on phones triggered France's high school students' revolt? "According to a professor..., when his students looked up from their smartphones, they discovered that an unbearable world had been prepared for them." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/dimanches...

"historical fascism’s lust for violence didn’t make it repulsive but extremely attractive to a lot of German voters. And we are seeing similar things with the AfD today, where fantasies of violent retribution seem to be integral to campaign events on market squares." ... And not only Germany

I remember writing about this program in 2023 and being absolutely flabbergasted by the way DVA was handling it. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

The Daily Mail used an image of ex-IDF soldier and right wing agitator Avi Yemini as an example of pro-Palestine protesters “clashing” with cops. Righto. It’s been more than 36 hours since this article went live and despite a campaign for a correction by News Cord, the image is still up.
