#ShowYourStripes lighting up the Story Bridge in Brisbane tonight. To mark the occasion I’m also wearing a beautiful warming stripes scarf given to me by the Knitting Nannas of Sydney. Although the truth is it reached 24C in Brisbane today, not exactly winter weather.

"Ask a farmer how much water that is!" An environmental concern around nuclear reactors @mattdjryan is surprised the Nationals aren't talking more about: the massive amounts of water they require. #auspol

It's a tricky time to celebrate with all that's going on in the world... But my new @BloomsburyBooks book on the history of climate diplomacy from the Cold War to the Paris Agreement is now out in the northern hemisphere! #envhist #climhist bloomsbury.com/us/climate-ch…

Hooray!! But it must be a bit unnerving, playing Magistrate roulette. Glad you struck a good one. @RisingTideAus @BlockadeAus @SkyNewsAuspol
We're cheering! Six legends faced court today for stopping coal trains. The magistrate said "any reasonable person would agree with the goals of this action." Two got no convictions, two $440 fines. Violet Coco avoided gaol time! Blockade Australia's Raffi got an 18mnth CCO.

Nannas and fans had loads of fun playing volleyball on Sydney’s Manly Beach today. Team Tanya was hard to beat taking every opportunity to hit the ball straight over the net back to team Chris. As if it were on fire!

You can donate to @BURRUPHUB here chuffed.org/project/40qtxvhl… If you can't donate, just adding your voice by supporting them and/or your local protest groups, and pointing out the absurd topsy-turvy narratives flying around helps the climate fight quite a lot.

Each week Knitting Nannas meet, plot and act to defend our environment for the kiddies. Not just us. Thousands of Australians are joining organisations like ours to urge our “leaders” to listen to the science and take real climate action. Together we are stronger.
