I am interested in Climate Change, SF (hard) environment, gardening, cooking, and beaches. In many ways an old school left social democrat but politically the climate emergency is my overarching political concern. Blocking no profile, no posts followers.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... I don't think we are getting there fast enough. Only ¼ of cars sold are EVs. It should be half at least. It is interesting where the buyers are though. "Tarneit, in Melbourne’s west, was the individual postcode with the highest uptake."

As a Victorian, an Australian and someone of the Australian left, I find myself conflicted. I can't see the ALP winning. I can't see some sort of ramshackle left coalition governing. I CAN see a series of short term Lib/PHON/PHON defector coalitions that sink PHON nationally. #auspol

Trump told the UN he could “annihilate” Iran. He did not explicitly mention nuclear weapons, but the power to order their use rests with one president. The world cannot afford to dismiss the danger, Connie Peck writes. #Iran #NuclearWeapons

Trump's nuclear threats against Iran must be taken seriously
Trump stood before the United Nations and threatened to “annihilate” Iran. With the authority to order a nuclear strike resting in the hands of one US president, the consequences of treating such threats as mere bluster could be catastrophic.

Is there no limit to Albanese's obsequiousness when it comes to Trump? Albanese is always going on about being underestimated his whole life. It looks as though public opinion was pretty much on the money in considering him to be a politically and morally insubstantial nobody. He has no core.
