Australia's Liberal Party will try to spin abandoning Net Zero as a decision they made to help "everyday Australians", but that is a straight-up lie. This is a policy that doesn't benefit any Australian except those getting rich off climate-destroying and health-destroying fossil fuels. (🧵 5/5)

When political parties make stupid, anti-citizen decisions like the Liberals and Nationals dumping climate action goals, I'm furiously reminded of the great Robin Williams quote: "Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like NASCAR drivers, then we know who owns them". (🧵 4/5)

Australia's Liberal Party have essentially said they don't care if my kids, your kids, and future generations have to live in a world with more heatwaves, more fires, more floods, more deaths, more refugees, less food, less water, less liveable land, less biodiversity. (🧵 3/5)

Australia's Liberal Party have decided that contributing to keeping the world safe by rapidly reducing GHG emissions to limit the current and accelerating climate breakdown - as climate science unequivocally shows we must do - is not a priority for them. (🧵 2/5)

Nice, yeah that’s 100% it.

Who runs this, and how will they check it isn’t manipulated by bot votes?

I think there’s some type of Dunning-Kruger like thing going on there. When people quiz AI about a topic they don’t know about, they see it answer confidently and assume it’s correct. But then they ask about a field they’re expert in and find it’s subtly or wildly wrong in many ways.

Loved it. You said AI can code much better than you can, but that at many other tasks it isn’t much better than an intern. Let me tell you, as someone who writes code for a living, that it codes a lot like a clueless internet as well. Always needs checking. Often buggy or makes stuff up.
