Free speech absolutely does only go one way. This is what I call in my academic work “media inequality”. Left wing ideas are delegitimised while right wing are legitimised (even when acting illegitimately). This seems to be a constant of mainstream media reporting.

Ever wondered WHY Trump and his allies are so viciously attacking and cutting science?
It's because science puts the lie to everything they're trying to do. It identifies the real people and actions causing our problems. It exposes the truth behind their disinformation.
Science not silence.

This is *not* the ‘new normal’. Things will get worse.
#ClimateChange means more Black Summers & Black Winters #lafires.
Stop subsidising & burning fossil fuels ASAP! You too, AUS. #auspol

Wow! Councilwoman Traci Parks just painted the bleakest possible picture of the Pacific Palisades.
“I don’t want to sugarcoat this, and I don’t want to make any false promises. The Palisades is a complete disaster zone. Everything is gone.”

Fascinating to see Amy Remeikis dropping all these truth bombs about the true agenda behind Dutton’s nuclear push in her new role working for @australiainstitute.org.au. She’s had to leave mainstream media to say this - all of it factual, watchdog journalism. Why can’t mainstream say it too?
When Peter Dutton releases the nuclear ‘costings’ later this week (as he’s committed) keep your eye on what’s actually at stake - the necessary energy transition

Human-caused climate change is already one planetary-scale experiment too many.
Geoengineering the Great Barrier Reef is a really bad thought bubble…..

Not such a bright idea: cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space is a dangerous distraction
A UN meeting this week considered a motion on a suite of technologies known as ‘solar radiation modification’, but no consensus could be reached on the controversial topic.

The right have successfully turned the public against “elites” by claiming “elites” are:
👉🏻Left wing governments
👉🏻Educated people with expertise
👉🏻”Woke” celebrities and brands
This is just a culture war designed to stop the public seeing the real villains - the real “elites” - billionaires.

Since April we have published 20 fact briefs - short summaries offering “yes/no” answers replying to online claims - in collaboration with Gigafact and thought that this little milestone might make for a good reason to write a short blog post about the project.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.
Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
