A photographer in Australia captured a poignant moment: a male koala embracing and squeezing his deceased companion. This heartbreaking scene demonstrates that animals experience and suffer emotions in a way similar to humans. 🐨💔 National Geographic

A turtle doesn't know the plastic bag isn't a jellyfish. A bird doesn't know the fishing line is a trap. A crab doesn't know the tiny pieces of plastic surrounding it shouldn't be there. They didn't create this problem. We did.

Sea turtles have been navigating Earth's oceans for over 100 million years. They survived the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. They navigated through ice ages, through every geological transformation the planet has undergone across a hundred million years of continuous existence.

Antarctica’s west coast missing an area of sea ice the size of France as temperatures peak 20C above average. A vast area of the Bellingshausen Sea should be covered by sea ice by now, with one expert calling the loss of ice ‘depressing’ It’s more than depressing - it’s a disaster.

Popped to the shop with the little dog to get a couple of pears. Didn’t have a bag, so took a doggy poo bag off the lead and popped the pears in there. Heading home met another dog walker, who looked at our pear stuffed poo bag with something between fear and awe.

More than 50 heat records were broken across Australia in the last week of January, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. This is climate change, and it can be lethal.

Well... this adds up As many Australians reel from another week of record-breaking heat, it’s worth remembering what's driving the worsening extreme weather we're experiencing: climate pollution from burning coal, oil and gas. @jessharwoodart.bsky.social simplifies it for us perfectly.

Victoria has officially recorded its hottest temperature ever in the town of Hopetoun in the state's north west. At 4.04pm this afternoon, Hopetoun's temperature soared to 48.9ºC, beating the previous record of 48.8ºC in the same town during the Black Saturday bushfires. This is climate change.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?
