'Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems'

"Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions"

Yes, I bang on about this. C market & ff flogs continue to profit from distraction👇, so continual pushback needed

Hedges Report: NPC Australia caves to Israel Lobby, cancels talk on our betrayal of Palestinian journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

NPC Australia cancels Chris Hedges’ talk on our betrayal of Palestinian journalists, bowing to Israel lobby. A supposedly independent body of journalists, academics caving to censorship? #auspol

Benjamin Netanyahu has outmanoeuvred yet another American president For all US President Donald Trump's boasts about ending wars and being a worthy candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize, he has failed to end the war in Gaza and build a sustainable future for both Israelis...

Well, no surprises there…

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

There is some hope for the USA with politicians like Zohran Mamdani ✊

‘Blood on these walls’: Mudrat tears into ABC coverage of Israel-Gaza war during Triple J live set Australian hip-hop artist donned a Palestinian keffiyeh and delivered a blistering critique of the broadcaster and its treatment of Antoinette Lattouf

“What is the truth? That this is not a conflict that is occurring, that this is a genocide, and so we use our music to speak to the truth.”

Thank you for speaking out, Mudrat. Fuck you, ABC. And you too @australia.theguardian.com for your ongoing genocide denial.
www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

How is it that time & again, it is artist & writers (& healthcare workers) who are prepared to do the uncomfortable work of standing up to power, to institutions & speak out against genocide❓

Why is the climate & environment movement still largely missing in action❓

Netanyahu rails against foreign leaders as UN delegates walk out Dozens of diplomats stage a walkout at the UN ahead of the Israeli prime minister's speech, as US President Donald Trump says: "I think we have maybe a deal on Gaza."

UN walkout and boos as Netanyahu the butcher vows to “finish the job” in Gaza, slams Palestinian state recognition and broadcasts his threats directly to Gaza via loudspeakers and cellphones.

Applause from his soulless Israeli cheer squad. Humanity left the hall.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Watching @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social declare Australia’s support for a Palestinian state feels deeply hypocritical—rhetoric without halting arms to Israel or Zionist policies fueling the genocide. #auspol

Dr Assal Rad—

"Gaza City is being erased.

"This should be headline news at every major Western outlet, there should be wall-to-wall coverage."

'You're hurting Australia': Trump hits out at ABC journalist, flags Albanese meeting Donald Trump takes aim at the ABC's Americas Editor during an extraordinary exchange at the White House, as the president suggests he will meet Prime Minister Anthony Albanese "very soon".

John Lyons asks Trump real questions all journalists should ✊. In typical form, the orange blob responds bullying and threatening Australia. Trump is unfit for office, let alone the presidency.

End your support of Israel’s ethnic cleansing & genocide of Palestinians—it’s your legal responsibility. Your empty words & inaction are damaging our humanity. Don’t make us all (Australians) complicit in these horrific crimes #SanctionIsraelNOW

Are you paying for your local councillors to swan around at the Gold Coast summit featuring a "former" neo-Nazi & a funder of racist hate-mongers, Advance Australia❓️

Australia signs $400m deal to deport foreign-born former detainees to Nauru An agreement relating to the NZYQ cohort, who previously faced indefinite immigration detention, was signed by home affairs minister Tony Burke on Friday

Oh goody. More taxpayer dollars going to fund more human rights abuses thanks to @tonyburkemp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Aiding/abetting Israel's #GazaGenocide while abusing the human rights of your average asylum seeker/refugee wasn't enough.

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack Four Corners is the home of Australian investigative journalism.

Gaza’s doctors continue to face relentless attacks while saving lives under unimaginable conditions. We’re witnessing a documented genocide, yet Western leaders do nothing—worse, they aid the 🇮🇱 perpetrators, condemning generations of Palestinians to endless suffering.

“THREE strikes on a hospital is not a “tragic mishap,” it’s a horrific war crime.”

Up to 4* out of 9 City of Port Phillip councillors are attending this Summit that'll platform a fmr head of a neo-Nazi org & Jillian Segal, whose family trust gave $50K to racist hate-mongers, Advance Australia

Ratepayers like myself are paying "all attendance and associated travel costs" 🤬🤬🤬

Getting interesting replies from the 9 councillors in my local council whom I've emailed about this 'All Expenses Paid Summit Against Antisemitism' junket (not all have responded yet)

Where governments choose to tax and where to spend money shows a lot about their priorities.

We should be taxing things we want less of (like fossil fuels), and subsidising things we want more of (like education).

Pretty simple.
