We can't save a burning planet with a firehose of fossil fuels.
We must accelerate a just, equitable transition to renewables.
The science is clear: The 1.5°C warming limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning fossil fuels.
Not reduce.
Not abate.
Phase out.

Tonight at 6pm, @9NewsAdel will take you exclusively inside Adelaide’s newest bus.
It runs entirely off electricity and is set to transform public transport in the city.

"The Murray cod population has absolutely collapsed," @Kate_McBride_1, water researcher.
"We know what's going wrong & what needs to be done, but we're not seeing any action on the ground."
Calls for action amid fears of more fish kills on Darling River

"The survey found only two mature Murray cod in a 140km stretch of river"
Decades of mismanagement & undermining of the Basin Plan is causing the Darling-Baaka ecosystem to collapse.
We must buy back water & return it to our rivers ASAP.

Let us just say it for what it is: CCS is a scam.
It's been used by the coal and gas industries to delay real climate action.

Persian Gulf International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 152°F (66.7°C) today at 12:30 pm.
Those are intolerable conditions for human/animal life.

Shell's CEO chose the hottest day in human history to announce he was reneging on the company's climate pledges.
Thanks to the @newyorker for letting me call out this kind of despicable behavior

Financial Times editor: We need a new Marshall Plan on #climate. There’s too much to do, and given the urgency and the need to get the solution right, this isn’t a task for your favourite ESG-focused portfolio manager or the tech bros. The sheer scale of the physical infrastructure that must be revamped, demolished or replaced is almost beyond comprehension. Governments, not BlackRock, will have to lead this new Marshall Plan. And keep doing it. The western nations that did so much of the damage will have to finance the transition in the developing world — it is astonishing that this idea is still debated. Massive deficit spending will be necessary, not a new ETF. For all the cleantech advances and renewable deployment in recent decades, fossil fuels’ share of total global energy use was 86 per cent in 2000 and 82 per cent last year. Capitalism won’t deliver the energy transition fast enough . . ." Derek Brower, US energy editor of the Financial Times

In just the last week, about as many acres have burned in Canada as burned in California all year in its off-the-charts record-breaking fire season of 2020. The total area burned is now 6 million hectares, about 15 million acres or 23,000 square miles. ciffc.net/

As Minister Bowen often says, time is running out to achieve our 2030 emissions targets. But more attention needs to be focused on the reality that we're headed on the wrong path @pollyjhemming #OfftheCharts

I keep thinking we've reached the largest anomaly (in terms of absolute magnitude), but that's not the case yet. The #Antarctic departure continues to widen. Apologies if you are tired of seeing me post this same graphic.

Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. There are no clear long-term trends.

The Aus Govt wishes to host a UN Climate Conference in ‘partnership’ with the Pacific in 2026. But it is unclear whether Aus – as the world’s 3rd largest fossil fuel exporter – is taking the calls of Pacific nations seriously.

While you were sleeping ... the Upper House of SA Parliament kept sitting to debate the Summary Offences Act changes. They haven't stopped. The bill is now in committee phase. It was called on at 4:16pm yesterday. @abcadelaide #saparli

We’ve just hit midnight in the leg co - after about 6 hours of debate the crossbench moved to adjourn for the night. We were blocked by Labor and the Libs. The debate continues. We won’t be bullied into backing bad laws.
