👉 Interestingly, we find that overall there are more pro-climate groups than anti-climate groups. For example, most of the NGOs in our study tend to support climate change, such as the Australian Conservation Foundation, Greenpeace, and WWF, whereas many of the business groups do not.

Which groups mobilise on #climate policy in Australia?
📣 Darren Halpin and I have a new paper out in @environmentalpol.bsky.social that systematically maps who mobilises on climate policy in Australia, what side of the issue they fall on, and in which arenas they mobilise.
Key finding include 🧵

Focusing on the electoral dynamics between center-left and postmaterialist left parties, we find that center-left parties benefit from incorporating both economic equality and equal rights in their platforms, whereas postmaterialist left parties gain support primarily by emphasising equal rights.

I didn’t get the Nobel peace prize so now I’m going to ‘take’ Greenland out of spite because I’m a vengeful, bitter, and belligerent old man.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

'Climate people should stop opposing fossil extraction because people are worried about energy affordability' has always been a snooty, bad-faith plea that ignores the fundamental untruth at its heart: fossil fuels are the exact things making energy unaffordable, and deepened reliance = worse pain

It is weird how every plea to pivot away from climate to energy affordability actually ends up just agreeing entirely with the goals of climate.
First it was the way renewables ended up helping reduce power bills, now it's clear opposing massive unchecked gas export build-out does the same

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well.
Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

The vast majority of what’s happening is communal self-defense. It’s not an about agitating or escalating. The whistles, the honking, the yelling — these are efforts by people to warn and protect their neighbors. 2/3

This is so Orwellian
Trump has invited Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban to join his so-called “Peace Council”. Orban says it recognizes Hungary’s role in seeking peace. Earlier, Bloomberg reported Trump plans to charge $1B for permanent seats in this body, pitched as an alternative to the UN.
