Flood victims forced to line up for hours for disaster relief payments Katherine region residents displaced from their homes by the recent flood emergency have been forced to wait in line for hours to access disaster relief payments.

Australia has no plan for emergencies.

Two showers and one washing machine between 200 people staying at the Katherine evacuation centre.

But yeah, let's go to war.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance A community battery project three years in the making, run by a local not-for-profit and backed by the council, was killed after a spark of misinformation about its fire risk was ignited.

There are many towns throughout Australia that would love to build their own community batteries. Wild that the Narrabri council willingly killed this off by spreading misinformation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Climate change: Doom versus gloom Should we hope for the best and prepare for the worst when tackling climate change?

"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social

Exactly! If they don’t know a battery from a rooster we’ll all miss out. Why the heck don’t we have some public education on the benefits of going electric. Oh that’s right the developers and coal companies don’t like it!
