🚨The @climatecouncil have slammed Environment Minister @tanya_plibersek's decision to approve a new coal mine & refuse to reconsider the approvals of 3 others
Labelling her actions ‘reckless’ and ‘out of line with the science’ #NoNewFossilFuels🚨

And there it is: Environment Minister @tanya_plibersek approves her first #coal mine > bit.ly/42Q85LD
(Finally) getting back into plotting for 2023 with #TidyTuesday Week 18. Tagging individual animals allows us to estimate how old they are. Some rodents retrapped by researchers near Portal, Arizona have lived for at least 6 years!

ALT Bar plot showing approximate lifespan of different rodent species that were individually marked as part of a study in Portal, Arizona. The plot uses polar coordinates, so bars are curved. The species with the oldest known individual was C. penicillatus (Desert pocket mouse).
I think this statement sums up modern conservation very neatly. We need to decarbonise, but any species at lose along the way won’t come back.

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

Cool, that's two megatonnes of planned new coal extraction down, 457 to go :)

CLIVE'S OUT: Environment minister Tanya Plibersek has blocked Clive Palmer's new coal mine — it's the first time an Australian government has knocked back a coal mine under environment laws. The move will protect the Great Barrier Reef and groundwater. #auspol

Distressing scenes from Fitzroy Crossing. As well as huge impact on people, animals suffering too. @MarkMcGowanMP needs to start saying these are extreme events due to ‘climate change’ and not trying to hide it by saying 1 in 100 year flood.

The carbon footprint of a single Bitcoin transaction was 969 kilograms of CO2.
This is equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of a one-way flight from New York to Sydney or the total footprint of around two million credit card transactions.

Getting pretty sick of this. I’m at a UN biodiversity conference, ten sandwich/bagel/wrap options at cafe here. Only one that doesn’t contain meat.
How is this message not getting through. #Cop15 Also hardly any mention of dietary changes in the text. (1/2)

On the same day Labor have confirmed they want to “compensate” (hand over public money) to multinational coal corps. they have also announced they are cutting the 10 extra Medicare funded psychologist sessions. Cutting Medicare & giving $$$ to coal corps. That’s modern Labor

Agriculture alone is the identified threat to 86% of the 28,000 threatened species via land clearance, chemicals and other inputs & monocropping.
We cannot address the biodiversity and climate crisis without addressing our eating habits

A 32 year old climate activist is about to be imprisoned for 456 days for stopping traffic for 25 minutes.
In that 25 minutes the Govt handed $553 475 to fossil fuel corporations.

A collection of draconian anti-protest laws in NSW threaten cruel, excessive and obviously politically motivated punishments for anyone worried about their own safety and health from the threat of fossil fuels.
It's madness.
