The summit was organized with the aim that only world leaders who came with new concrete actions would be able to address their peers on the issue

32 national leaders were able to speak, but they represent only 11 % of the worldā€™s carbon dioxide pollution.

Countries that produce the most heat-trapping gases themselves (China, India, Russia, the U.K. & France) decided not to attend.

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. Itā€™s a serious movement and well underway in .
Atlas Network is at the heart of it.

You have to love the headline:

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.

ā€œWhy donā€™t we react in unbridled outrage to the devastation of the natural world taking place before our eyes?
A major reason is that we donā€™t realize what weā€™ve lost. Itā€™s called ā€œshifting baseline syndromeā€
šŸ‘‡

ā€œnext 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 weā€™ve lost around 90% of natureā€™s profusion.ā€

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. Itā€™s perfect habitat for Greater Gliders, Leadbeater's Possums and Powerful Owls.


And soon the bulldozers and chainsaws will hack it down and haul it away.

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 ā€“ constantly amplified by the Murdoch Press.
#media #journalism #news
Despite staunch community opposition to radioactive waste dumps. And despite the big #electricity companies joining experts to oppose Dutton's plan for slow, expensive nuclear reactors ā€“ which would delay the transition from polluting coal & gas to clean renewable energy.
