Incredible! Yesterday, over 9,000 people marched for an end to native forest logging. With the federal election just weeks away, it's time to turn people power into action. Vote for forests at the ballot box. Join #VoteEarth: https://t.co/49uc3sSTKl

Review? The #NSWForestCorps should be sacked, they're not only economicaly negligent, they're a killing machine, destroying threatened species & their habitats daily. Yet @ChrisMinnsMP aides them, exacerbating the #ClimateCrisis & #BiodiversityCollapse

The NSW native logging industry is not "economically viable" and the state government should consider shutting it down after 2028 if its prospects do not improve, an independent economic regulator...

Everywhere you look it’s the echo of the South African anti-apartheid movement - ordinary people, artists & workers refusing to be complicit in genocide whilst our political & media class cozy up to racists & murderers. Respect to Jasleen Kaur ✊🏿✊🏾🇵🇸
TurnerPrize 2024 winner Jasleen Kaur used her acceptance speech to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, demand an end to institutional complicity in Israels genocide & call for an arms embargo A special mention to the pathetic statement from the presenter at the end

This is one of my favourite excerpts from @GhoshAmitav's acceptance speech. There are more, but this illustrates the pathology of this necrophilic moment.

#COP29 NCQG decision was adopted without consensus by the Azerbanji President's fiat. This is contrary to the procedure of the COP. Is NCQG decision therefore not valid? Cuba, India, Bolivia objects to NCQG decision adopted(?) by the COP.

#Cop29 approves rules on carbon trading after 9 years of negotiations - Carbon markets are v controversial with widespread evidence that they have been largely ineffective so far, says @pgreenfielduk

The deal was met with long applause, cheering, whistling and embraces but few are happy with it

🔨#COP29 adopted 1st set of decisions mins ago, incl. highly controversial decisions on carbon markets 🗣️make no mistake: bad decisions opening door to reliance on offsets as alternatives to real #ClimateAction are not something to celebrate as they undercut #ParisAgreement

#COP29 is about the future of the international climate regime. If approved, current text will be used by developed countries kill the very idea that they owe climate finance to the Global South. It's not about just a number. It's about the core idea of obligations.

"No deal is better than a bad deal." @harjeet11 🚨 The new #COP29 climate finance goal just dropped—$250B/year by 2035—and it's unacceptable. ❌ Falls far short of the trillions needed. ❌ No commitment to grants—just more debt. It's time for justice, not loans. Watch, share,

Is it a joke? New #NCQG #COP29 text: - US$ 250 billion/ year - Wide variety of sources - No #LossAndDamage - Includes funds mobilised by the MDBs

[OP-ED] Scientific models trust the land to soak up lots of #CO2–the reality is a lot more messy 📰In @ConversationUK 👥By @alexandradeprez, OI Perkins & @katedooley0

Removing enough carbon to offset emissions would require vast tracts of inhabited land.

Prospects for #climatefinance at #COP29 do not look good. Deadlock can provide an opportunity for issue linkage. It’s time to get creative and think outside the #UNFCCC box. Developing countries have options. They should swing for the fences. 🧵

So true, how do we get policy actions that take us to real zero emissions? “WGIII set again to favour economic fairytales over physical reality.”
1/5 This COP29 IPCC event https://t.co/FoqjLPDdiY demonstrates a key reason why we haven’t responded to the Paris 1.5-2°C & equity commitments. IPCC (WGIII) bureaucrats stifle any sense of urgency & foster a discourse of delay. The saving grace was the ever-insightful @KanitkarT

There must be a moratorium on logging within the proposed Great Koala National Park. Forestry corp NSW is destroying this incredible forest at pace. (Great Koala National Park: NSW government logging inside proposed park boundaries)
smh.com.au
Forests on the North Coast are earmarked for a national park to protect “the best patch of koala habitat in the world”, but the area is still being logged in epic proportions.

“Bad Process & Worse Outcome”. Report on how rules for new UN-governed carbon market were rushed without inter-governmental scrutiny & discussion & why exactly the rules are problematic (no exclusion of risky tech, no science-based definitions etc) #COP29

The COP29 presidency forced through rules for carbon markets on the first day of the conference, ignoring concerns and setting what some negotiators called a “horrible precedent” for future negotia...

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

This is spot on - “The center cannot hold. Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable. There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative.”
The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment. Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are
