The Queensland Government's plan to extend coal's lifespan for 10 years or more is a great illustration of how "pragmatic realism" is deadly, and how the climate movement's persistent optimism isn't suitable for the times we're in now

Will the last climate denier in the LNP please turn off the lights?
This week i went to see #SaulGriffith on his #FasterAndFairerTour.
Saul is great at highlighting the challenges but even more importantly the opportunities of the #energytransition for Australia and the world 🌎

Yeah, I just saw him tonight.
It has to be a grassroots movement as politicians keep failing us. We need to spread the word about the benefits of the #electrification.

When Watt cites “Safeguard Mechanism as an effective way of controlling emissions”, you should know SM only applies to direct (scope 1) GHG emissions of 🇦🇺's largest emitters

SM doesn't cover emissions produced from 🇦🇺’s Coal+Gas exports that make up ~80% of 🇦🇺’s contribution to global emissions 1/
Thanks for sharing this, as we often hear #ClimateAction is not about individual choices. I don't disagree with this list but I think it's missing most powerful measure, which is voting!
Vote for a party that takes #ClimateChange seriously!

Jo, und Das halt mit Ansage. #TonySeba hat klar es vorhergesagt. Die waren halt alle zu sehr damit beschäftigt ihre #cleanDiesel Lüge aufrecht zu erhalten, haben ihre Tesla-Anteile verscherbelt und nun kaufen sie sich bei den Chinesen ein um Abschreiben zu dūrfen.

Die Diskussion um das Verbrenner-Aus verunsichert. Die Industrie braucht keinen politischen Schlingerkurs, sondern regulatorische Verlässlichkeit. Die haben Milliarden in E-Mobilität investiert, D'land ist der zweitgrößte E-Auto-Produzent der Welt, das wird quasi ignoriert

„Tankstellen sollten verpflichtet werden, auch Strom anzubieten”
Umwelt- und Klimaschutzminister Carsten Schneider (SPD) will bessere Tarife für E-Ladesäulen und auf dem Autogipfel einen Schub für E-Autos aus Europa. Er fährt selbst eins, aber auch gerne Bahn.

Kapiere ich auch nicht. Zwei Jahre in der Schweiz gelebt, wohl alle die SBB/Bahn lieben. Hier in Victoria hat man die Ticketpreise auf 11 Dollar / 7 EUR pro Tag beschränkt weshalb nun viel mehr Leute Bahn fahren.
Von Aussen betrachtet sucht man in Deutschland immer nur Gründe um zu Spalten.

Batteries #BESS seem to be the fastest growing complimentary solution to wind & solar, allowing to harness the full potential renewables energies.
With battery prices still falling, the adoption of firmed renewable energy will move even faster than most would have anticipated.

Someone wanted to explain to me that she was #vegetarian but eats only ‘good meat’ now…if there‘s something like that? (Her words)
So I told her that the short and long answers are both: NO
Cut the crap there’s #nogoodmeat!#govegan
The nights are still frosty in Country Victoria. But at least the ice on my bird bath is getting thinner and my tomatoes keep growing…under that glas pane.
