Canberrans against coal and gas

The majority of Canberrans are concerned about Australia’s policies on coal and gas.

Perhaps the most important thing to understand about the climate crisis
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback
The Coalition claims pursuing net zero will increase power bills – but in the real world the opposite is true.
