Offshore wind farms kill whales? (They don’t.)
Electric vehicles catch fire more often than petrol cars? (It’s the opposite.)

Colleges and universities are going way too soft on policing AI, Tyler Austin Harper argues. “Institutions of higher learning can abandon their centuries-long educational project,” he writes. “Or they can fight.”
Scientists Link Major Fossil Fuel Companies to Worsening Heat Waves.
The world’s largest fossil fuel companies play a significant role in the worsening climate crisis and it's extreme weather events, including worsening heat waves, according to a new study.

The devastating algal bloom in SA is another dimension of the climate crisis.
A climate damage compensation levy on coal and gas exports could raise billions of dollars every year to pay the costs of climate change, without raising prices in Australia.

Many have been glad to hear that NSW is finally stopping logging in the long-proposed Great Koala National Park.
But in the fine print, the park's creation is "dependent on the successful registration of a carbon project."
It's a perverse incentive that has enabled years of habitat destruction. 👇

Perth researchers scanned 60 adults ~3 months after mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and found lingering aortic inflammation on PET scans, stronger than in people with high cardiovascular risk but no COVID.
Even non-hospitalized cases showed vascular effects.

What l, and I mean What, TAF is going on?
A frequent flying Premier Cook jets off this weekend on his third overseas trip in three months Roger Cook is embarking on his third overseas months. trip in three flying to Japan this weekend to talk up the State's energy transition. Japan is WA's second-largest trading partner. with exports worth $26.4 billion last year mostly LNG. The Premier has frequently argued that WA's gas production and, possibly, carbon emissions, must increase to enable foreign markets like Japan to reduce their reliance on coal. …
Our fossil fuelled (fooled) premier, Roger Cook.
Why is our premier promoting a multinational’s product that poisons the atmosphere, increases global heating, damages unique ancient rock art, & provides little revenue to state coffers?

Article titled Giving the green light to keep using gas in WA Energy Minister backs in fossil fuel as part of transition to renewables
Amber Jade Sanderson is ruling gas *in*… then says, “We’re not ruling anything in or out.” When you rule in gas until 2070, you’re definitely ruling in climate damage for decades, if not centuries.

What cost climate disaster?
‘"It's not just important for our overall economy, it's important for regional WA," Roger Cook [claimed].
But the most recent state budget papers show the shared revenue, or royalties, the project is generating for WA is in rapid decline.’
Climate disaster on steroids:
“Despite the North West Shelf contributing “almost nothing” in terms of Australian tax dollars, it will be responsible for emissions greater than dozens of countries & many of the world’s biggest companies.”

“Despite the North West Shelf contributing “almost nothing” in terms of Aust tax dollars, it will be responsible for emissions greater than dozens of countries & many of the world’s biggest companies.
It can be hard to get your head around numbers this big.”

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...
“Yet another legal challenge has been lodged against a contentious gas plant extension in WA's north, arguing the state's previous environment minister [Whitby] failed to properly consider the emissions produced by customers burning gas produced at the facility.”
Uncanny how these random global weather events just seem to be getting crazier at an accelerating rate. Whatever can it possibly be?
Friends of Australian Rock Art lodge case against WA government rec the North West Shelf. Case is based on fact that the EPA should have considered scope 3 emissions. And they should have. Well done!
Australian Conservation Foundation video.
We cannot allow the psychopathic big toxic gas company, #Woodside to expand its dirty, polluting, climate destroying business on the Burrup or on our the North West Shelf.
Who want 45 more years of THIS?!
This the critical minerals narrative which gives license to mining which has somehow separated itself from fossil fuels thanks to CO2 tunnel vision.
My latest in the @australia.theguardian.com is about the largest obstruction to climate action in a country where an overwhelming majority of people accept the science of climate change.
Information silos.

You don’t decrease greenhouse gas emissions by increasing toxic fossil methane gas emissions for 40 more years.
👉🏻👉🏻Life is an IQ test. Believe Roger Cook, Murray Watt, Woodside execs & you’ve failed.
👉🏻The gas will be exported. It’s not for Australia. It’s virtually free to Woodside. Near zero tax.
There can be no new fossil fuel

Australian Youth Climate Coalition WA organiser Jordan Rowand agrees.
"every other state’s emissions have gone down since 2005, so the work that we have to do in Western Australia is a lot… we have some big fights ahead of us,"
