My global decarbonisation pathway, built on www.climatewedges.com It deploys 20 wedges to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.

An infographic showing the 36 strategies that can deliver at least a wedge of mitigation. It explains the scale of deployment each one needs, across the electricity, industry, buildings, transport, and land use sectors.

There is no single “correct” path to decarbonise.
There are six trillion.

Our new paper in Science puts 36 climate solutions into one common unit, so you can build your own pathways.

Thirty years of glacier grounding line retreat in Antarctica | PNAS The Grounding Line (GL)—the transition from ice grounded on the continent and ice afloat in the ocean—is a sensitive indicator of glacier stability...

Between 1992-2025, large areas of the grounding line of #Antarctic glaciers have retreated. The largest changes have occurred in W. Antarctica, where grounding lines have retreated 10-40+ km, driven by incursions of warm water masses along deep bathymetric troughs

She helped design Australia’s aged care assessment tool – but now Lynda Henderson is too scared to use it Exclusive: Member of working group behind questionnaire had no idea it would eventually be underpinned by ‘ridiculously simplistic’ algorithm

A great example of what NOT to do in important human systems - leave all decisions to an algorithm without human overrides. Especially so for vulnerable people.

PHON-Y NATIONALISTS?

In whose interests are One Nation (and their press agents) doing another racism for? Is it for the common Aussie battler and for Australia's national interest?

Do people really believe they are loyal to the Australian people, and a credible party of Australian government?

Unleash your super power: how to prevent your retirement savings from funding fossil fuels

What can happen to a centre left government party when it decides to follow the racists to the populist right, forgetting that it doesn’t have a mortgage on the left

This orchestrated surrender to burning 19th century fuels gets framed as Very Serious, Adults-in-the-room realism rather than a weird, baffling choice to cause entirely avoidable suffering. I am so sick of it.

Likely THE most vital thing to grasp right now is that planet Earth has habitable environmental parameters for one sole reason: self-regulation by its natural ecosystems.

Annihilating them at a frenetic rate will destroy their capacity to continue doing so. The inevitable result should be obvious.

Judge finalises US$575 million judgement against Greenpeace in pipeline case Greenpeace in a statement said it would seek a new trial in a lawsuit pursued by pipeline company Energy Transfer.

BREAKING:
A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay them US$345 million.

This is a billionaire-backed attack on the right to protest.

Greenpeace stands for all of us.

has anyone put together a handy list of businesses owned/part-owned by major Advance Australia donors? would be great to have an at-a-glance reference!

There's one great big problem with the idea we can let nature mop up our carbon polution - ecosystems are breaking down as the climate changes

There are a million excellent reasons to conserve & restore nature, but to limit climate change we need to stop burning fossil fuels

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

“A 7.2% decline for every tenth of a degree per decade might sound small. But compounded over time, across entire ocean basins, it represents a staggering and deeply concerning loss of marine life.”

Australia’s most costly anti-climate policy hits taxpayers for $30m a day as calls mount to wind back fuel tax credits | Adam Morton The government will hand over $10.8bn this financial year under the scheme that makes it cheaper for miners and other industries to use diesel and petrol

Column today - the fuel tax credit scheme for miners, farmers, industry is one of the 20 biggest budget costs. It's also a fossil fuel subsidy. Why are multinationals still being refunded these huge sums?

The last part abt how measles disrupts immunity vs other infections is, imo, underappreciated (& mechanism was recently clarified). It's part of why measles vaccination was seen to help beyond just reducing measles complications - not getting measles reduces severity of subsequent infections too.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

Should be the top story everyday.
