More coal, less power storage, less grid capacity & power companies refusing to sell power cheap = more wastage. Time to catch up, Australia! @solarcitizens @CCL_Aus @Yes2Renewables

As Australia's electricity system gets cleaner, it is encountering a strange problem. More renewable energy is having to be wasted.

The link between #paraquat and #Parkinson’s is undeniably strong, but the manufacturer actively hid relevant results and discredited scientists. Many other countries have banned it. Here 10 million kgs was sold in 22/23. @DocsEnvAus @farmingforever

Climate scientists have warned that vulnerable migrant workers are among those most at risk from extreme heat in Europe and the rest of the world. “The people who die [from heat stress] are the people we care least about in society,” @DocsEnvAus

Extreme greed and compromised, foolish governments are destroying all that's precious in Australia. "It’s water the NT government is giving away for free." "Giant new water licences are being handed out to developers, in search of the next boom crop." https://t.co/PdLyN3vOvh

There are fears that sacred, pristine sites are being put at risk by a government-backed push to grow cotton in the outback.

Blatant lies, ‘massaging’ legislation, megalitres of water diverted for cotton grown in ‘pastoral’ leases…say goodbye to our beautiful country before it’s sold off and destroyed. @waterforrivers @FrackFreeNT @XRebellionAus

‘The Land and Environment Court fined the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) $360,000 for offences…’ Seriously?? I suppose we got a bargain given that tax-payer is paying for it anyway 🤔 @forestsforlife @FMogo @naturensw

Deep sea mining company claiming they are just ‘picking up rocks’ from the sea bed. Srsly! Like skipping through the meadow picking a few wildflowers. Naaaw, bless! @OurOcean @FightforTuvalu @saveourseas @seasave
abc.net.au
Mining companies hope to begin mining the sea floor for valuable metals soon — upping the stakes at a vote for the top role at the international regulator.

“I don’t know why you’d…plonk industry on top of a reef if you can choose not to, but the biggest danger is the scope-3 [overseas] emissions…we could see the death of those sort of reefs by 2050. That’s the choice we’re making.” @BURRUPHUB

Forestry NSW runs at a loss. ‘In its half-yearly report for 2023-24…posted a loss of $10.2m. “Why do they do it?…If you’re going to log this you’d want to have something pretty amazing to show for it in 100 years’ time.’ @FMogo @AFCA_Forests

Half of the threatened plants & animals in NSW are on course to become extinct within 100 years. The Minns govt is wringing its hands over the biodiversity crisis. So WHY keep logging native forest at a significant loss?? @forestsforlife
