Nothing yet posted on this BlueSky account by our PM on the piracy on the high seas and the kidnapping of Australian citizens seeking to deliver desperately needed aid to starving babies, men, women & children?!

International rules based order, anyone?

Carbon capture and storage is a massive con. The fossil fuel industries’ biggest grift.

If any CCS facility Wes’s ever to have a major leak of carbon dioxide at ANY TIME, EVER it would kill every living thing for kilometres. Without warning. CO2 is odourless, colourless, heavier than air & deadly.

There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry

But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

📢 🚨New Report - How the UK oil and gas industry spent 15 years pushing for subsidies & incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage rather than regulatory accountability or science-based emissions reductions; maintaining a funding pipeline for a technology yet to deliver on its promises 👇

I asked Siri, where will the next Olympic Games be held?

Proving how dumb AI can be:

The next Olympic Games will be held in Paris, France, from 26 July to 11 August 2024, and in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, in Italy, in 2026.

This is censorship by SBS. Fix it now.

SBS not allowed to say Palestine

zionists run this country, yet noone is allowed to say so

SBS staff sworn off naming Palestine despite federal recognition

SBS staff remain unable to use the word Palestine in news reporting despite federal recognition of the state last month as tensions over reporting on the conflict in Gaza remain high.

So expensively, even. We pay repeatedly for the gas. Then we pay for the consequences of ongoing climate catastrophes and their concomitant effects.

Don’t mention Israel’s:

Genocide
War crimes
Crimes against humanity
Ethnic cleansing
Apartheid
76 years of oppression
