Australia’s most costly anti-climate policy hits taxpayers for $30m a day as calls mount to wind back fuel tax credits | Adam Morton The government will hand over $10.8bn this financial year under the scheme that makes it cheaper for miners and other industries to use diesel and petrol

Let this sink in. This financial year, taxpayers will hand over nearly $10.8bn to make it cheaper for miners, farmers and some other industries to use diesel and petrol. Serious reform of the fuel tax credit subsidy is long overdue. #auspol #climatechange www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nature lovers go public with their crushes ACF is celebrating the deep connections Australians have with special places, asking people to write love letters to nature and pinning them on a map.

Some of our deepest, most enduring relationships are with places.

Will you join us and write a love letter to nature?

Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Over the next few days, you are going to see me reshare it every time an influential climate scientist points out that no, the southern ocean's overturning current hasn't reversed.

The reviewed article did not even come close to supporting what was in the media release everyone shared.

4 yrs ago today, I witnessed a volcanic eruption for the first time, close enough to feel the intense warmth of the Earth's creation on my skin. It literally changed my life. I may spend the rest of my life seeking an experience as powerful as this and never find it, and that's okay.

Anthony Albanese sworn in as prime minister for the second time Albanese and his reshuffled ministry are being sworn in by the governor-general.

The Albanese govt went to the 2022 election promising thorough reform of the national nature law. That promise remains unfulfilled. It’s time to get on with the job. #auspol 7news.com.au/news/anthony...

1) Labor gets reelected in landslide.
2) Nationals increase their primary vote
3) Farmers most likely to be impacted by climate change
4) Matt Canavan calls for Net Zero to be scrapped.

Farmers must learn that the Nats don’t act in their best interests.

This ancient Australian reef is sending a silent distress call Australia’s Ningaloo Reef is sick, like many coral reefs around the world. And scientists warn reef restoration projects are no substitute for climate action.

Oceans are now storing 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This has led to a mass coral bleaching event starting in 2023 that has impacted almost 84% of the world's reefs.

“Coral reefs probably won't survive much above 1.5°C of global mean warming”, @billhare.bsky.social told @cnn.com

May Labor’s legacy be the leaders who finally stopped fossil fuel expansion during the most critical moment of history to make a difference.

Please.

Like many of you, I am sure, I am gutted that @zoedaniel.bsky.social has lost her seat 😢

I have been so impressed with her drive, tenacity, smarts and sense of social justice.

Unlike Tim Wilson, she showed up during this campaign. It’s truly baffling *anyone* would vote for an empty chair. 🪑

Seriously I wish there were more reporters like Adam in the Aussie media scene. Too many gloss over climate change as an inconsequential afterthought rather than THE biggest existential challenge we’ve ever faced in human history.

Yes. 🙌

@adammorton.bsky.social has nailed the question we’ve all been thinking about.

I really hope they will choose courage and conviction over timidity and the status quo.

After all there’s a good chance Labor will continue to govern to 2030: which is crunch time for climate action.

Right. Well now the Libs are cooked, here’s hoping Labor can locate their spines this upcoming term.

No need to play the safe middle ground now, they must take genuine action on climate, starting with.. and I’ll say it louder for the folks up the back: NO NEW COAL AND GAS.

Stop approving coal and gas is surely your next phase of climate action? Because this needs to happen now. No more free passes for the fossil fuel lobby.
