Climate conversations feel tense at this time of year?
Resistance is usually about deeper concerns like control, cost, trust, change and belonging. Here’s how to ease those concerns in everyday holiday conversations.

Resistance often comes from worries about control, cost, reliability, identity or trust, not from a lack of information.
Here are some practical ways to ease those concerns through everyday conversation, hopefully without starting an argument over the gravy.

Sometimes the hardest part of climate conversations isn’t the facts, it’s the feelings that underpin them.
Over the holidays, many of us will find ourselves talking about energy, transport or climate with people we love.

Here at DCAN we are way past wondering if the Albanese Government represents the interests of the people of Australia or the gas industry. This continued facilitation of the climate wrecking gas industry in the face of increasing climate crises is beyond belief.

Extreme winds fuel Tasmanian fires - ABC listen
The Bureau of Meteorology did not issue a fire weather warning issued ahead of the bushfires in Tasmania last week, because it says conditions did not meet the threshold for extreme weather.

NEW REPORT: Market Forces has identified 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans globally — aka the Fossil Fuel Expansion Index, or FFX 200.
These companies are actively driving more extreme #climate disasters. And your super fund probably invests in them.

Thank you everyone who contacted MPs and Senator offices in the campaign to make the new nature laws stronger. We now have a new national environment law which has some important improvements but still fails the climate test. Incredulously climate pollution won't be taken into account in decisions.
