Wild attack on batteries and renewables by 7's Spotlight program falls over at the first fact check TV program looking at appalling mining practices in Congo says it is a blight on the renewables and storage industry. But it falls over at the first fact check.

High-profile studies reporting the presence of microplastics throughout the human body have been thrown into doubt by scientists who say the discoveries are probably the result of contamination and false positives www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"current levels of microplastic consumption in food & water are unlikely to cause significant adverse human health impacts based on the evidence currently available" Humans need to take action on the climate crisis & worry less about family ingesting microplastics? www.theecowell.com/podcast/micr...

Love this, anything showing that we need real artists gets my vote. A bit disappointed the Journal article doesn't highlight the bad ai art as much as this post does tho 🙂

I got interested in this topic as prescribed burning is a divisive topic

I tried to make a post with a link to Doherty's article on FABWAs Facebook page. FABWA blocked it. FABWAs Facebook page so they can do what they like, their messages to me show that they block stuff that doesn't align. Not a policy I agree with & I don't agree that article is DBCA pro burn

Did not expect this to pop up in my vertical garden. I think it's buckwheat. Doubt if I'll get enough to make buckwheat pancakes , so probably going to be green manure hehe

I summarised the camera trap photos & attended Weinup surveys. No numbats post fire, many numbats photos by a local pre fire. Habitat destroyed by intense fire hsi.org.au/wp-content/u...

Point scoring between DBCA affiliates and biodiversity advocates continue, Doherty's connectsci.au/zo/article/7... v Don Bradshaw's "To burn or not to burn" assets.nationbuilder.com/ccwa/pages/2...
Dohertys article doesn't provide evidence that current burning is good for biodiversity

Doherty does not produce evidence supporting current prescribed burning practice.
It is more important to scale back severe frequent prescribed burning, than to wait "to develop a weight of evidence framework". At Weinup, devastation by fire destroyed numbats, numbats were there before fire.

Did the paper state what the accurate and complete fire responses of animal species and communities are?

Thanks for this. My favourite kind of content, I'll give them all a follow

A town in the Swiss Alps stood for 800 years. In an instant it was wiped out The Swiss Alps are a natural wonder and a key part of the national identity, but life in the mountains is under threat from climate change.

Yes, feral cats and foxes really have driven many Australian mammals to extinction Decades of evidence link foxes and feral cats with extinctions of Australian mammals. Claims these introduced predators aren’t responsible don’t stack up.

theconversation.com/yes-feral-ca... the essay in @aeon.co is incorrect . Decades of evidence link cats and foxes with extinction of Australianammals

Outrageous. Alcoa has just been granted a Federal exemption to allow it to continue to mine Jarrah forest. It already has a State exemption.The exemptions allow Alcoa to ignore environmental approval processes. Most clearing has occurred since 2010. Rehab has failed is excessively behind schedule
