‘Shifting baseline syndrome’ is whats wrong with our brains. That’s why “we can’t understand how grave this is”.

“In a reverse takeover, federal Labor has now become a branch office of the rotten WA Labor Party, an outfit owned and run by the fossil fuel and extractive industries, its climate denialist billionaires and their propaganda outlets,” writes Bernard Keane in today's Crikey.

“Why don’t we react in unbridled outrage to the devastation of the natural world taking place before our eyes?
A major reason is that we don’t realize what we’ve lost. It’s called “shifting baseline syndrome”
👇
#extinction
“next time you go for a hike in nature, & marvel at its beauty, take a moment to realize that you are looking at a pale, shrunken wraith of what it once was. An accumulation of studies around the world measuring the declines of species & ecosystems indicates that overall we’ve lost around 90% of nature’s profusion.”

A good simple explanation of why the indefinite delay in reforming the Environment Protection Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act matters in terms of new coal approvals - and presumably the same applies to gas.

Peter Dutton continues to spread toxic pro-nuclear lies – constantly amplified by the Murdoch Press.

Despite staunch community opposition to radioactive waste dumps. And despite the big companies joining experts to oppose Dutton's plan for slow, expensive nuclear reactors – which would delay the transition from polluting coal & gas to clean renewable energy.

Interesting read.
There was an attempted infiltration of the SA Liberal Party by 500 Pentecostals as part of this plan to take over the 7 pillars of power.
Also that the proposed Religious Discrimination Act is a part of this ploy for a takeover. It’s a serious movement and well underway in .
Atlas Network is at the heart of it.

#AtlasNetwork pops up again re far right Christianity, a partnership made in hell.

“In order to understand why people who call themselves #Christians also oppose #government welfare, public schools, gun control & action on #climatechange, I decided to follow the #money.
What I discovered was an unholy alliance between evangelical Christians affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation’s Seven Mountains strategy and a league of ultra-wealthy libertarians who operate a complex, #international network of #rightwing think-tanks – many of which fall under the umbrella of a group known as the ATLAS NETWORK.

This tree is nearly 10 metres in circumference. It would take at least six people stretching fingertip to fingertip to circle its massive trunk. It's survived for hundreds of years. It’s perfect habitat for Greater Gliders, Leadbeater's Possums and Powerful Owls.

You have to love the headline:
#auspol
#australia collects more money from the Higher Education Contribution Scheme than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.
It just so neatly encapsulates some of our country's problems. Will you sign the Australia Institute petition to greatly increase the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax? The Institute also has a good video summarising their position on this issue.
