Global surface temperatures have continually been running more than 8 standard deviations above the 1941-1970 mean since January 23, 2024.
If temperatures were normally distributed (they aren't), 8 SD's would be about 1-in 1,500,000,000,000,000 (1-in-1.5 quadrillion).

Labor just voted with the Coalition to kill THEIR OWN Nature Positive reforms🤯
Enough crossbenchers voted to keep it alive in the Senate for Labor to have passed their long promised reform.
Neither of the major parties will stand up for Nature 😥

"Before network and retail charges, if you just used clean energy, it would cost an average Australian family $800 a year. Coal would cost $1300 a year, and nuclear power $1500 a year. How many reports do we need that tell us the same thing?"

Heard about the shock jock who’s now a clean energy champion? That’s me
I’m not an environmentalist, I’m a pragmatist. I know that clean, renewable energy makes the most sense for Australia.

If we were facing a water shortage, our first step wouldn't be to start importing water, we'd say 'how can we reduce water demand?'
When the majority of Australian gas is exported, why are we looking to import gas from overseas?
