@PCarterClimate aren't they carbon sinks?

ALL WORLD WETLANDS EMITTING METHANE No let-up in methane feedback- Northern as well as tropical. Hudson Bay lowlands (Canada) notably increased. Copernicus 26.9.23 atmosphere.copernicus.eu/charts/package… #methane #climatechange #globalwarming

THE GULF STREAM HAS SLOWED High confidence but cause not determined The Gulf Stream is part of AMOC agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… #gulfstream #climatechange #globalwarming

Global temperatures in 2023 are extraordinary. The various different datasets available all agree on this. We are breaking records by shocking amounts. Graphic by @micefearboggis

Zero compromise. Utter disrespect for First Nations’ wishes, culture, and wellbeing. Ignores ecological values of dingoes and recent genetic evidence suggesting the northwestern Vic population is at risk. Wow. Slow clap for Vic govt. weeklytimesnow.com.au/news/victoria/…

Notice yesterday re Isacs River #coal mine (Proposed approval) - Notice relates to Extension of time, by 8 business days to 31 May 2023 (to allow time for QLD Env. Minister to also approve?) epbcpublicportal.awe.gov.au/all-notices/ epbcpublicportal.awe.gov.au/all-notices/pr…

Black-water ir did they release the herpes virus already? (and, could they be used for fertiliser or something?) This is not good for the river

@markwakeham 2/2 with closing power stations where the power to gassify coal will come from. Pallas is happy to sacrifice #Westernport for a few jobs digging up more coal so Japan can look (not BE) 'green'/reduce its emissions at the expense of ours.

It's not the first time we've heard 'clean coal' promises for the Latrobe Valley, and it won't be the last. But I'll eat every hat in our house (we have a lot of them) if this project proceeds at anywhere near the scale proposed afr.com/companies/ener…

@markwakeham Previous Vic Planning Minister called in HESC pilot project to fast-track it in secrecy & no doubt will try to bypass EPBC assessment with this, with Minister Pallas drumming up 'trade & investment' in Tokyo as if its a given that it will proceed & no regard 4environemnt or 1/2

@markwakeham It would have been more energy efficient 2simply burn straight lignite/brown coal - just as many emissions but cheaper This is the biggest Green-washing scam ever! (that will wreck a Ramsar site of Internat significance with dredging & smother/kill mangroves with oily coal dust)

“Make no mistake – hydrogen itself is indeed a zero-emissions fuel,” Forrest wrote in an op-ed [..] “Using it releases nothing but water as a byproduct. But we look like zero-IQ idiots if we make hydrogen out of the dirtiest fossil fuel on the planet and hawk it as ‘clean’.”

ridiculous notion: making 'zero emission' hydrogen by liquifying dirty brown lignite coal (using heat) there's no Referral yet but no doubt it is coming as its slated 4Ramsar site inWesternport Its an emission intensive process relying on CCS & utilisation bit.ly/3KYGIsT

An update on the proposed Central Queensland Coal project.

GREAT NEWS!! -Tanya Plibersek's refusal is the first time a coal mine has been rejected under federal environmental laws The environment minister says there were unacceptable risks to the Great Barrier Reef, groundwater and freshwater creeks abc.net.au/news/2023-02-0…

There were a number of Notices in the last couple of days that haven't yet been posted to FB page yet, apologies. This will be fixed soon, hopefully. To see details, go to: epbcpublicportal.awe.gov.au/all-notices/

The National Native Title Tribunal has ruled in favour of a $3 billion gas development in northern NSW that will allow Santos to drill more than 850 coal seam gas wells in the native Pilliga Forest over the next 25 years theage.com.au/national/shame…

Children born today will c literally thousands of animals disappear in their lifetime, as global food webs collapse ClimateChange is one of the main drivers of species loss globally More plants & animals will die as heatwaves, bushfires, droughts & other natural disasters worsen
