“Liberals and Nationals to preference One Nation in blow to Michelle Milthorpe in Farrer byelection.”

If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄

This is, of course, an implicit admission of liability for the climate crisis.
Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

The Strait of Hormuz + surrounding seas are critical ecologically as well as politically.
Coral reefs, whale sharks, dolphins, endangered Arabian humpback whales, seagrass meadows supporting dugons, islands harbouring green turtles - just some of the creatures + ecosystems in + near the Strait.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …
So The Australian has an op-ed saying that Trump was right to attack the Pope. By the UK's Melanie Phillips. You might be familiar with previous citations of her work by people such as Anders Breivik, who was a fan.
COMMENTARY Pope Leo is guilty of repudiating the "just war' doctrine That our government has urged Israel to stand down confirms its moral evasiveness; that Pope Leo has done likewise is grievous. By HENRY ERGAS COLUMNIST
THE AUSTRALIAN~ The church's refusal to condemn Hitler's genocidal war of aggression indelibly stained its reputation.
It's very funny that Trump has made the Australian publish anti-Catholic columns for maybe the first time ever, using arguments I used to use as a teen militant atheist.
Quite telling that on X right now there is a heated debate over which idiot the Iranian Navy is referring to

And yes, I went head-to-head with Ernesto Araújo, the Foreign Minister of Brazil under Bolsonaro who infamously dismissed climate change as a "Marxist hoax" (www.dailysabah.com/americas/201...)
The #AMOC by 2100 will thus be so weak (~8 Sv) that it is very likely on the way to full shutdown, as our study last year showed: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
In my view, this now makes a full #AMOC shutdown more likely than not. Definitely not a low likelihood risk, as we used to think.
Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

America's right-wing in a single exchange. It's perfect.
Vance, Johnson et al should just admit Trump is their God and they worship no other.
