You can't fix offsets, because they're not really broken They are designed from the ground up as a way for polluters to falsify climate action, and for disgustingly rich bankers to divert funds away from frontline communities As long as fossil fuels exist, offsets will exist Good paper! -->>>

Pollutting now and cleaning up later is not a viable strategy: Direct Air Capture (DAC) is hitting a hard reality check. Costs are falling much slower than anticipated, casting doubts on the nascent technique’s role in tackling climate change.

In 2022, with a two seat majority, the Albanese government legislated our first climate targets. In 2025, with a supermajority, it’s claiming it lacks political support to update those targets. It’s time for transparency about climate risk and our climate targets. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

If Germany hadn't decided to shutdown nuclear power - they wouldn't have worked so hard getting solar down the cost curve - people in all countries wouldn't be benefiting from cheap solar - Germany would have remained nuclear+fossil [ Germany now burns less coal than at any time they had nuclear ]

I genuinely believe that we as a society have made a big mistake by not *constantly* calling Donald Trump stupid. That actual fucking word. None of this pussyfooting with strongly implying - we need to use ths word stupid because Donald Trump is the stupidest motherfucker on the planet.

Faark ... that's nearly AUD$25,000/kW of installed capacity. No, really, faark. And you haven't paid to run it yet, insured the site disaster risk (that is commercially impossible), even bought the fuel, or sorted the waste disposal (how?), or npv'd the eventual decommissioning cost. Faark.

Yes. *Resilience* is just as important as reliability. When some things do go wrong (as they eventually will), it's essential to have the equipment, procedures and settings all working together to prevent the problem propagating - and maintain services for all/most customers.

Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change

Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.

What we saw was (simplistically) some things detected a problem, disconnecting themselves -> making the problem worse, and causing *more* things to disconnect! 2/

I'd like to ask the question a different way. Given the first N failures on the Spanish grid, how could it have been brought back under control? What bits should/shouldn't have disconnected (and how/why), which things could/should have ridden-through? 1/

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

When the GOP use the term "deficit" they are only talking about the _spending_ side of the budget. Spending ⬇️ == Deficit ⬇️ (in their view) They ignore the _revenue_ side of the balance sheet, and the 100% obvious fact that spending-revenue is going up!!!

One half of the problem is: Who would they sell to? They have just lost most of their assets - damaged possessions, and their home needs major repairs. And they can't raise cash by selling an uninsurable flood-prone house. What do they do - just walk away and start again from nothing?
