The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Amazing piece giving insight into the relationship between major fossil fuel companies and senior government officials.
130 direct, personal, text messages in 4 months between a Woodside rep and a DCCEEW deputy secretary.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
so it’s ok to greenwash so long as a ‘reasonable investor’ would know it‘s greenwashing? Got it!

Doco maker speaks about the police brutality
Trumps tax breaks last year allowed Amazon to reduce their tax bill by 87%, despite profits soaring by 45% to nearly $90 billion.
"As a Jew, I will proudly stand to be arrested, ostensibly for antisemitism. I did not spend my 20s active against a regime using violence to subordinate rights and silence its critics only to spend my twilight years watching Australian governments do the same." - Stephen Heydt, SMH today
"The Police chose violence". Veteran journo and sports broadcaster Peter Lalor was at the Sydney Herzog protest, got pepper sprayed. His account

Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...
Thank you @sophiescamps.bsky.social 🙏
attending a protest = "antagonising police" is very literally and precisely the gaslighting doublespeak of the fascist Trump government. I really don't make that comparison lightly but this is systemic, deep institutional collapse

US Judiciary deletes a chapter on law and #climate science because apparently science is a left-leaning concept and MAGAs complained.

France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power.

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels

Isaac Asimov was a founder of modern science fiction. His work and ideas inform almost everything.
He was also a serial sexual harasser, something confirmed by multiple first-person accountings from members of East Coast fandom.
The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.
A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.
lots of key points worth remembering in this @emorwee.bsky.social piece, which lays out how the fossil fuel industry helped create the conditions for today's authoritarian crackdown on protestors
The UK media’s silence on the Palestine Action activists’ hunger strikes is a deliberate editorial choice - Professor Bart Cammaerts

New Zealand's top court finds climate change must be considered in issuing oil and gas tenders because:
- climate is a big concern to NZ
- NZ has committed to reduce emissions
- oil and gas cause emissions
Seems obvious! But NZ is way ahead of Canada on this.
Satellite imagery + open data = accountability ftw 💚
Rising Tide protest: climate activists stop three ships from entering world’s largest coal port in Newcastle
Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social
UK terror law banning Palestine Action used too widely, review finds
Report says definition of terrorism is too broad and 'creates overreach in its application'

We’ve always been right about this: wedonotcomply.org
Ethiopia last year banned the import of new gasoline-powered cars. Nepal reduced import duties on EVs so much that they are now cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines. Brazil raised tariffs on car imports to compel Chinese automakers to set up plants inside Brazil. Etc
