Please go see this play by Melanie Tait. It’s the story of how Molly died in A Country Practice. I never watched ACP but that didn’t matter. Jokes. Sadness. Our lives as audiences. So great. I took this terrible photo of the cast - so go see them in real life. 😍 www.ensemble.com.au/shows/how-to...

As fascism rears its ugly head, we are trapped between the craven and the unwilling - by @amyremeikis.bsky.social #auspol #fascism www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Fascism rises, and we are caught between craven and unwilling

Here we are. Trapped between those who flirt with far-right ideologies for political gain and those unwilling to make the stand it demands.

Absolutely blistering takedown of the US government's mad climate report that rehashes the worst denier tropes of the past decade. US gov't took on a handful of self-serious denier micro-celebs, and in doing so, basically just hugely owned themselves in public sites.google.com/tamu.edu/doe...

“This new US Department of Energy Report is a travesty for US scientific integrity. It reads
like a list of common climate skeptic tropes - long ago rebutted by the scientific community -
being rehashed by a group of disgruntled scientists. The team of authors, hand-picked by
Chris Wright, is a "who's who" of the 20th Century climate skeptic community. The report
contradicts scientific conclusions reached by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, and also previous high-level scientific reports on climate change released by the
US Government.”
- Dr. Ryan Katz-Rosene

“My large-scale thoughts are that this was a fantastic response to a total disgrace. I
remember feeling so shocked and appalled when I saw the original report and feeling
completely at sea with respect to what to do about it. Seeing many of my role models in the
field come together to put together a coherent response to something so disjointed and
incoherent was really inspirational and made me remember why I got interested in this field.”
- Dr. Lucas Vargas Zeppetello

“One of my papers was cited in the DOE report that claims that greenhouse gas emissions
have had "little-to-no effect on heatwaves" for the US. Wait, what?
The backstory: after the record-smashing 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, we aimed
to understand its likelihood, given that 115F temperatures in Portland, OR were not on
anyone's bingo card.
These days, any weather event can be viewed as some combination of a changing climate
and day-to-day weather variability.
In the case of heat, the influence of greenhouse gas-driven warming is so established that
we first removed the climate change signal from the data, and then analyzed the probability
of the observed temperatures occurring given the overall warming that has occurred in the
region during early summer, which has been nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit since 1960.
Unfortunately, the intentionally misleading nature of the DOE report is due to its role as a
building block towards the goal of rescinding a 2009 finding from the EPA that greenhouse
gases cause a threat to human health and welfare.
Luckily, there is time to take action: comment on the report, and contact your representatives
to let them know we need to take action to bring back the tolerable summers of years past.”
- Dr. Karen McKinnon

“The DOE report is bad. The entire report misrepresents the evidence available for several
key topics whilst ignoring some topics entirely (e.g. coral bleaching events). It contains many
examples of basic errors, cherry-picking, logical fallacies, and poor scholarship. I would read
a claim and think "that doesn't sound quite right", so I would look up the study cited only to
find that the claim was even more flawed than I first suspected.
The more I looked at the DOE report, the more problems I found. Many of the points the
DOE report attempts to make rely on out-of-date or incomplete datasets. There are several
recent and detailed reviews and analyses that are not even cited by the DOE report, let
alone discussed. There is a lot of lying by omission. Parts of the DOE report resemble the
same oil lobby (evidence-free) narratives that climate change deniers have been repeating
again and again for over two decades even when faced with extensive evidence to the
contrary. Even undergraduate students, whether they are studying earth sciences, physics,
or marine biology, should be able to identify many errors and misunderstandings in the 2025
DOE report. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the 2025 DOE report became widely used as
an example of bad science for university tutorials.
I learnt a lot whilst putting together my contributions as well as seeing what others wrote. It
was great working alongside so many accomplished and thoughtful climate scientists. The
whole process was very well communicated and organised, particularly considering that
everyone was doing this work in their spare time. And, because I am based in the UK, I feel
less threatened by retaliation and can critique the many errors in the DOE report more freely
than scientists based in USA.
This 2025 DOE report does not evaluate the extensive available evidence in good faith. It
should be viewed as an attack on science in general, not just an attack on climate science. I
suspect, in 14 years' time (after…

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them. In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

Average nitrogen dioxide concentration in Paris has fallen significantly

Her proposals have faced pushback — from right-leaning politicians, a car owners’ association and suburban commuters, who say that targeting cars makes their lives more difficult.

But last month, Parisians voted in a referendum to turn an additional 500 streets over to pedestrians. A year earlier, Paris had moved to sharply increase parking fees for SUVs, forcing drivers to pay three times more than they would for smaller cars. The city has also turned a bank of the Seine from a busy artery into a pedestrian zone and banned most car traffic from the shopping boulevard of Rue de Rivoli.

Carlos Moreno, a professor at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and a former adviser to the city, said the French capital has developed “an urban policy based on well-being.”

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Labor's 50 year extension of the most climate destroying fossil project in Australia, Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal. Emissions will be equivalent to opening 12 new coal power stations for 50 years - a mockery of Labor’s climate policies www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

Why is the PM gaslighting Australians on North West Shelf?

Given Labor's climate-change assertions, its approval extension of the most climate destroying fossil project in Australia is shocking.
