Don’t forget to leave water out for animals and to blame fossil fuel companies.

It's a capital start to the year for children in the Australian Capital Territory. 🧒

The policy to prohibit fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships is now officially in effect

A big thanks to all those who helped get climate misinformation out of our classrooms.

Miners exaggerating tax. Again.

What's new is that this is so demonstrably false.

Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know.

The IPA has a new report which finds, it's not climate breakdown that is causing anxiety in children, but the evil of sustainability lessons. 🤔

Thanks to every news outlet that has ignored this nonsense (not News Corp).

UPDATE!

Queensland Museum has removed some of its Shell-sponsored education materials from its website following our report into systemic bias.

Unfortunately the Shell logo remains ⛽😷

NEW REPORT!

⛽Shell's Queensland gas business is funding science lessons for hundreds of thousands of students and teachers, via the Queensland Museum.

Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

We're thrilled to report that Victorian public schools must now consider climate change when choosing sponsors.

We've seen shocking cases of coal, petrol and gas companies push misinformation through school programs.

The United Nations climate talks in Brazil was the first to formally recognise that 'information integrity' is a vital part of phasing out fossil fuels.

Here's three steps COP organisers and leaders nations should take now to put that into action.

COP30 TEXT ANALYSIS: One way to read dense COP text is to focus on the verbs. These are helpfully italicised – and for good reason.

MOSTLY INACTIVE: Carbon Brief analysis of the “global mutirão” text finds 69 inactive verbs, requiring no action, against 32 active verbs.

Comms Declare has written to the National Press Club #NPC asking that tomorrow’s talk by Future Coal Chief Executive, Michelle Manook be cancelled.

They declined, so we produced this handy bingo card to help viewers spot the climate obstruction and #greenwashing

Massive congratulations to @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social for kicking Woodside out of their university. Thanks to @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social for taking up the cause of clean sponsorships!
Announced by us yesterday, and confirmed today thanks to the work of Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social, Monash will end its partnership with #WoodsideEnergy.

When they discuss changes in community expectations, we know what they mean; it’s all of you who joined us on this journey.

Thanks to all!

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC

Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers.

It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.
