🧪 Hundreds of scientists wrote POTUS last fall expressing alarm about the climate harm of LNG, esp in light of @profbobhowarth.bsky.social new research. DOE paused approvals until it could study the issue. Study is about to be released. Will it align with the science? www.eenews.net/articles/doe...
DOE study may conclude LNG worse for climate than coal, lobbyists say
The long-awaited study on the climate effects of liquefied natural gas could be released next week, according to people familiar with the process.

A tweet below from 2016, with a million views.
Since then, mass bleaching and mortality of corals on the GBR has occurred again in 2017, 2020, 2022 & 2024.
5 times in 8 years.
"I showed the results of aerial surveys of #bleaching on the #GreatBarrierReef to my students, And then we wept."

Shameless! The hypocritical entrenchment of the ALP/LNP duopoly is clearly evident in @cpi_aus Antony Whealy’s analysis of Don Farrell’s 227 page political donations “reform”. 👇Australians can register a protest at the coming election by voting for a community-selected independent where possible.

Terrible news today:
This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating.
Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released.

It was my birthday this week and instead of feeling all angsty about ageing I just feel really happy. I love my life, my work and my people. If this is what it feels like getting older I’m all ok with that.
