Agreeing to “begin discussions” on an “eventual” and “voluntary” phase-out of fossil fuels doesn’t cut the mustard.

After cycling 2200 km for #AlterCOP in BrisVegas, I just got my first flat tyre on the backroads in Wiradjuri Country about 50 km north of Dubbo.
Getting a puncture long distance cycling is a bit like doing your tax return. It’s not bad as you think it’ll be.

Rode the back roads through the Pilliga today for a break from the Newell Hwy.
Under the eucalypts, I kept thinking about two threats: hotter, more destructive bushfires - and the permanent poisoning risk from coal seam gas and fracking.

Saw these gorgeous dairy cows in the Lismore fog this morning.
I love cheese. My cardiologist and the climate both tell me to eat less of it.
But climate action doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing - eat half as much cheese, cut your emissions from cheese in half. #eBike4Australia
