The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Want to learn something about #water and #climate change?
A simple approximation is that for every degree C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more water. That's one factor behind the growing number of extreme flooding events.

Babies shouldn’t look like this, we all have an obligation to speak out, the situation is dire.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

And what is Trump’s response? He just fired the last remaining State Department employees who work on climate change.

“any person who tries to discuss Australia’s climate performance without starting with the country’s fossil fuel exports is missing the most significant part of the problem”

Australian media, pls STOP reporting the LNP's failed climate+energy policies & irrelevant views

Focus on 👇THESE essentials👇
I'm starting a series running through the 101s of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.

Here is the first part, digging deep into the emissions impact of Australia's fossil fuel exports, with a lot of interactive charts for you to play with.

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.

In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.
