Things are going to get worse because we have collectively refused to listen. It’s not negative or doomerism to say so, it’s physical reality. Food systems are already impacted. Functional democracy and media have collapsed and this is the result.

AS if The Property Council does not have enough influence on our governments already! Queensland government moves to lift ban on political donations from property developers https://t.co/VHRdVHz0eh via @ABCaustralia

The attorney-general said the proposed laws would level the political playing field, labelling the ban as a "gerrymander" by the former Labor government.

It is past time to stop donations to political parties and to tax political donors and the mining & gambling industries properly. Australia could then afford a proper safety net for its elderly and the population in general. https://t.co/xj81Kvqoq0 via @ABCaustralia

The reforms have unleashed a wave of confusion and despair amongst hundreds of thousands of elderly Australians, from those wanting care to those who already have it.

At stake is the quality of development in your backyard. It is a false argument these are the only choices. Our govts treat us as if we are three & can't see there are many ways to plan with the community to improve our neighbourhoods. https://t.co/OQb8yGSuJ0 via @ABCaustralia

In the debate about Sydney's housing situation and the protection of the city's heritage buildings and suburbs, there's a map that does the rounds.

The LNP has dismantled another Labor dream with South Bank 2.0 dumped. Instead a former glass factory on the Brisbane River will become a luxury enclave, home to up to 10,000 people. https://t.co/VZ3A1cHvFd

Rural residents and local councils are deeply unhappy with new taxes, renewable energy, bad roads and mining companies, accusing the state government of "city centric" policymaking.

Critical article by Senator @DavidPocock in @SatPaper highlighting complete lack of scrutiny & accountability of nefarious lobbyists, let free to roam Parliament. Way over time to regulate & limit their access, which so undermines democracy. LibLab so complicit allowing this

The AMOC is already rapidly slowing down! A decrease of 0.5 PW represents ~16,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules per year! Data is very uncertain, which is why we need better observations. And we'd better assume and prepare for the worst.
In case you missed it, 2 major AMOC studies have come out in the past week. One from Stefan. They both find AMOC collapse is no longer a long shot, and is now likely in an emissions business as usual scenario -and- the tipping point (of no return) is likely very soon… just a

We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia. That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

The AMOC collapse risk is much higher than thought—even a 25% chance of shutdown under low emissions. This current moves 100x the Amazon River. Would you cross a bridge with a 1-in-4 chance of collapse? Civilization is playing this game of risk currently https://t.co/XEjLVTpMVP

David Crisafulli denies a Greens corflute & a Save Victoria Park placard are the reasons Dr Krispin Hajkowicz was rejected by cabinet as Qld CHO. Instead he's cited the Dr's 2021 appointment when personal reasons caused him to decline. The Dr is seeking legal advice. #qldpol

Why is there no push back to these dreadful neoliberal ideas from climate movement in Australia? @climatecouncil Is tribe more important than the climate?
The Safeguard Mechanism’s climate delay influence is starting to take hold in the worst way imaginable. The PC's proposals for reforming climate policy would make it worse, writes Ketan Joshi.
