Last Saturday, on the way back from a mission to the northern #Gaza and after a @WHO-led convoy got clearance and crossed the coast road checkpoint, the convoy encountered two Israeli tanks. Shots were fired from the tanks near the convoy. Luckily nobody was hurt.
This is unacceptable.

More coal, less power storage, less grid capacity & power companies refusing to sell power cheap = more wastage. Time to catch up, Australia!

‘…there is a large #climate change signal in this. It would be very hard to get these temperatures – to get as hot as this – without human-caused #climatechange.”’

The link between #paraquat and #Parkinson’s is undeniably strong, but the manufacturer actively hid relevant results and discredited scientists. Many other countries have banned it. Here 10 million kgs was sold in 22/23.

‘Tuvalu’s climate minister Dr Maina Talia described Australia’s main export — fossil fuels — as “immoral and unacceptable", seemingly taking aim at Australia’s commitment to explore new gas fields to 2050.’

Climate scientists have warned that vulnerable migrant workers are among those most at risk from extreme heat in Europe and the rest of the world.
“The people who die [from heat stress] are the people we care least about in society,”

‘More than half the continent is used for grazing livestock. And most deforestation happens on Australian cattle farms.
…
The beef industry…says clearing forests on cattle properties shouldn’t always count as deforestation.’
Tell that to #koalas

Extreme greed and compromised, foolish governments are destroying all that's precious in Australia.
"It’s water the NT government is giving away for free."
"Giant new water licences are being handed out to developers, in search of the next boom crop."

Blatant lies, ‘massaging’ legislation, megalitres of water diverted for cotton grown in ‘pastoral’ leases…say goodbye to our beautiful country before it’s sold off and destroyed.

Sorry, wait…wha……NOW the government cares about species extinction??

‘The Land and Environment Court fined the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) $360,000 for offences…’
Seriously??
I suppose we got a bargain given that tax-payer is paying for it anyway 🤔

Deep sea mining company claiming they are just ‘picking up rocks’ from the sea bed.

A terrible truth is happening now
The insect apocalypse is upon us and an insect Apocalypse will be our apocalypse too
Insects have declined by 75% in the past 50 years
The consequences for birds and life on this planet will be catastrophic

“I don’t know why you’d…plonk industry on top of a reef if you can choose not to, but the biggest danger is the scope-3 [overseas] emissions…we could see the death of those sort of reefs by 2050. That’s the choice we’re making.”

9/11 designated habitat trees with exclusion zones logged because Forestry NSW doesn’t give a…fig, and fines are just the cost doing business when you are funded by the taxpayer.
How can we discredit an agency that is so good at discrediting itself?

Forestry Corporation replaying all of VicForests' greatest hits 🙄
Forestry NSW runs at a loss.
‘In its half-yearly report for 2023-24…posted a loss of $10.2m.
“Why do they do it?…If you’re going to log this you’d want to have something pretty amazing to show for it in 100 years’ time.’

Half of the threatened plants & animals in NSW are on course to become extinct within 100 years.
The Minns govt is wringing its hands over the biodiversity crisis.
So WHY keep logging native forest at a significant loss??
