Quitting dream job over climate fears a 'no-brainer' for former pilot

Not so good actually. Emissions may rise less than in RCP8.5, but reduced aerosol masking, ice-reflection loss, release of permafrost carbon, and weakening ocean carbon sinks may well still push warming to 4.5C by 2100. See pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/06...

Turning a blind eye to climate risk threatens derailment
The 2026 budget is a continuation of the Labor Government's denial of the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions before the climate reaches a tipping point.

As we collectively work to get political systems to understand the need for urgent #climate interventions, is an assumption that such processes are fit for purpose? Are climate policy-makers capable of understanding the risks and acting rationally on that basis? johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

Has climate policy-making gone completely off the rails?
Planning to “adapt” to 3°C of warming risks normalising catastrophic outcomes - and avoiding the urgent task of deep, immediate decarbonisation.

The Flight Free crew recently caught up with Geoff Collis, whose story “Flying in the face of climate change, or how a Jetstar Captain fell out of love with aviation” will lift you off the ground (heh, heh). We’ve posted it today on the Flight Free website here… flightfree.net.au/flying-in-th...

The harsh reality Qantas faces is that in less than five years it must cease flying completely if it is to stick to its stated aim of helping prevent 2ºC or more of global warming.
