One tactic of the fossil-fuel lobby is to denigrate activists/activism to weaken our challenges to their hoarding of wealth through status quo destructive projects. It's our job to counter that & rehabilitate activism. Great piece by @nualalam.bsky.social

There’s a clear strategy behind the character assassination of climate activists – it’s our job to counter it

"Extreme heat and dehydration is a #health, #safety and #wellbeing concern for staff and students, with high temperatures making it harder to focus...

Research shows the best learning temperature is between 22 and 24C – learning gets harder every degree it increases". #HeatWaves #PublicHealth
As Australian students brace for a heatwave, is it true that schools close when the temperature exceeds 40C?
Children are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat because they sweat more, have a higher metabolism and spend more time outside, one expert warns

Saying it again. Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy we could have. Those pushing the conversation on it, are using it to distract from the rollout of the cheapest, cleanest energy form: renewables. #auspol
We don't need nuclear power - the path to cheaper electricity is renewables
The last thing Australia energy market needs is nuclear power. The data is clear - more renewables will lead to cheaper electricity.

Most existential threats to humanity are rooted in colonialism, extractivism, patriarchy, and the perpetuation of these practices. We must acknowledge and address structural injustices and harmful power dynamics to transform the world. #SurvivalDay #FirstNations #IndigenousJustice
