The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

The Australian Government is currently lobbying to host the UN international climate conference in South Australia - and tbh where better to showcase our extinction crisis, punitive protest laws and industry capture?

The spirit of the Coalition lives on in the Labor Government. Giving cash to a carbon capture and storage project co-owned by INPEX, Woodside and TotalEnergies & calling it a RENEWABLE ENERGY VENTURE. Angus Taylor would be so proud. 🥲

On the state of American democracy and historical comparisons and lessons, this conversation between historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is just outstanding.

And yes, it’s even kind of optimistic. Highly recommend ✌️

MAGAs are about to learn how the ballot box works. We’ve been registering first-time voters across the country and they’re ready.
Yes, your vote matters. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t be working so hard to convince you it doesn’t.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...
What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it?
Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations during the Obama administration.

New French laws have put ultra-fast fashion companies on notice. Should we follow suit?
In a world first, France has legislated to tax fast fashion brands, but Australia continues to lag behind other countries in addressing fashion waste. Why is this?

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.

There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake
