Susan McDonald went on to ask Dr Denniss if he is trying to kill off the fossil fuel industry.
Denniss “No, I want to milk it!”💥

Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

Larissa Waters asks former Treasury chief Ken Henry if it’s too simplistic to say wartime gas profits from the war on Iran can either go to Australians, or to overseas investors & shareholders.
Henry “That’s not simplistic, that’s how it is!” “It is as simple as that.” 💥 #auspol

Sarah Ferguson asks if we should ‘give something back’ to gas giants in exchange for a tax.
David Pocock “why we bargain with them?”
“I don’t think we need to give anything back. We just want a return for our gas!” 🔥 #auspol

Study warns of terrifying Atlantic Ocean current collapse New research shows a critical Atlantic Ocean current system is weakening faster than expected, raising the risk of irreversible climate disruption.

New research warns the Atlantic Ocean’s key current system (AMOC) is weakening faster than expected, with models now pointing to a ~42–58% slowdown by 2100—pushing it closer to a tipping point that could trigger irreversible global climate disruption.

Exclusive: Keating’s AUKUS sit-down with the new defence chief The choice of Mark Hammond signals Labor’s commitment to the subs deal, but his bid to persuade the former prime minister did not go well.

Mark Hammond’s appointment as Defence Force Chief shows the Albanese government is doubling down on AUKUS and deepening the Australian military's reliance on America, both politically and militarily, reports Jason Koutsoukis. satpa.pe/Q8qr2mw

“In Australia we don’t tax [the gas] industry. It’s foreign owned, and other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia’s fossil fuel exports.

“And we’re the ones going ‘Gee, the air conditioning is a bit expensive’”.

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

The Onion launches new bid to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars and turn it into a parody platform Satirical news site The Onion said it has reached an agreement to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars company.

The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂

Iran’s Foreign Minister says the U.S. blocking Iranian ports constitutes an “act of war” and a ceasefire violation, and adds that targeting commercial vessels and taking crews hostage is an even greater violation. He says Iran will “resist bullying” and defend its interests.

The economy isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed, just not for you. Data confirms it: personal income down, savings rate 4%, debt record high. The S&P hit records for the 10% who own it. The rest of us get the bill.

I'm sorry you had to listen to that.

How could you not like what this guy is doing?

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

Sorry to post this for those who abhor seeing this kind of news about wildlife. But while we are collectively agonizing over the state of our nation, the state of our planet is probably the more urgent news.
