@algore 🪲🪲 20 years of false predictions, scaremongering & terrifying a whole generation - nothing has changed, including the climate, except that the much of the world is held captive to massive green energy costs & the desecration of our landscapes 🪲🪲

Twenty years ago today, An Inconvenient Truth made its debut in movie theaters across the U.S. I’ll be honest: I was skeptical that my slideshow about the climate crisis could become a successful movie. But thanks to our immensely talented director, Davis Guggenheim, Jeff Skoll, who made the ultimate decision to make the movie, and the incredible team behind the film — Laurie David, Lawrence Bender, Scott Z. Burns, Lesley Chilcott, Ricky Strauss, Diane Weyermann, and so many others, the film was a huge success, and opened the eyes of millions around the world to the threat posed by the climate crisis. While I wasn’t sure that there’d be widespread public interest in a science-based slideshow, I have never doubted humanity’s ability to solve this crisis. We know we must act, and Mother Nature is making that clearer and clearer every day. We’re already feeling the rapidly worsening impacts of a warming planet. Those impacts are evidence that our cause is even more urgent than it was 20 years ago. And as a result, the global movement for climate action has grown into the largest morally-based movement in the history of the world. We also know now that we can act. Indeed, in the past 20 years, we’ve made tremendous progress: The world came together in 2015 to forge the historic Paris Agreement, which despite the recent U.S. withdrawal, continues to drive global action and ambition. Incredibly, last year, renewables made up 86% of all the new electric power installed around the world. In the U.S., renewables were 92% of all new power capacity! Electric vehicles are now 25% of all new car sales worldwide and the sales of gasoline-powered vehicles have been declining since they peaked in 2017. Unfortunately, however, the crisis is still getting worse faster than we are deploying the solutions — solutions that are now way cheaper than the dirty and dangerous fossil fuels still spewing heat-trapping pollution into the sky as if it is an open sewer. So, while this is a natural occasion to reflect on the 20 years since the movie came out, I’m focused much more intensely on what we need to do now in order to shape what our world will look like in the next 20 years. I’m still presenting my updated slideshow all over the world, training grassroots climate leaders and working with partners in 194 countries and territories who are creating change in their communities, in their workplaces and schools, and in their nation’s policies. From what I’m seeing and hearing, I have no doubt that we will win this struggle. But it is still not clear that we will win it in time to avoid catastrophic damage and the dangerous negative tipping points that the climate scientists have long been warning us we must prevent. Will we muster the moral courage and political will to solve this crisis? Well, if you ever doubt our ability to do so, just remember that political will is itself a renewable resource. It’s up to all of us to renew it. Photos: Still from An Inconvenient Truth, 2006. Climate Reality Project training in Nashville, TN, 2026.

@SenatorCash @marmondo1 🪲🪲 Older people don’t matter to this government in a financial crisis (of their own making)-they can be disregarded because they won’t be around for much longer & won’t be a vote to be counted - disgusting hypocritical liars 🪲🪲

Labor is removing the higher private health insurance rebate for Australians over 65. Modelling from Private Healthcare Australia shows some retirees could face premium increases three times higher than younger members. A couple over 70 with gold hospital cover could be hit with an extra $1,614 a year. Over 900,000 of those affected earn less than $55,000. These are people who did the right thing and kept private cover to take pressure off the public system. Now they're being punished for it. Because when Labor runs out of money, they come after yours.

@TimjboAU 🏺🏺 Let’s hope so - we need all the ancient Greek gods, Aussies of Greek decent & every other switched on, pissed off Aussie to align to kick this lying Labor government out of power 🏺🏺

Editorial: ‘Lessons of hubris’: Albanese's Labor destined for ‘humiliation’ at next federal election skynews.com.au/opinion/lesson… Anthony Albanese, may boast of his Italian heritage. It's a shame he isn't Greek, because this week Anthony Albanese set in train the events which will inevitably, according to the ancient universal laws of the Greek empire, lead to his humiliation and destruction at the next election,” Mr Dean said. @rowandean #auspol

@TRobinsonNewEra @phil_aussie 🦧🦧 If you want to know what cultural influence a migrant will have on your country, check out his/her country of origin - what you see there is what you will get 🦧🦧

Another day and another invader causing havoc in our country. Milad Panjshiri, 22, stormed into a supermarket in Bradford, West Yorkshire, wielding a knife, threatening staff and destroying the alcohol aisle. It's constant! Get them out!

@JulianHillMP 🦆🦆 Diabolical for all Australians … especially young motivated & ambitious Aussies, an incentive flatlining tax grab based on labor lies & deception … & mismanagement of the economy 🦆🦆

Good for young Australians and good for the nation. #auspol

@DrCraigEmerson @AlboMP 🦆🦆 You & your privileged few - roughly 50% of Australians invest in shares (especially younger Aussies) &/or an investment property - these changes, based on lies & deception, take away life aspiration & ambition … a positive example of socialist flatlining 🦆🦆

Yes, stand firm ⁦@AlboMP⁩ Without these changes the privileged few will lock young working people out of owning their own homes forever - which is exactly what the Liberals and Nationals want. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@Matt_Camenzuli @KMLB52807079 🍂🍂 Nor did I 🍂🍂

@Corkhead @KMLB52807079 I didn't fall for it.

Dave Hughes is rightly furious with this utterly useless and dishonest Albanese Government. His language is coarse, but his point is very clear. If you lie your way in, you should seek a mandate. Call an election!

@PaulBongiorno @robsullivan1973 🦆🦆 Just like the labor government they support, The Saturday Paper is bent, biased & bloated with🐂💩 🦆🦆

In the real world, the budget is selling thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/2026/0…

@TrumpsHurricane 🦆🦆 One assumes he has practiced what he fervently preaches & opened up the family hacienda in Spain to undocumented migrants &/or refugees - nothing less would be absolute hypocrisy 🦆🦆

Richard Gere has packed up his family and moved to Spain because of President Trump. What advice do you have for him ??

@MarioBojic 🐴🐴 60,000 hisses & boos - the French people understand where Macron has led them … to cultural and institutional chaos 🐴🐴

🚨🇫🇷BREAKING: More than 60,000 people inside a stadium in France boo President Emmanuel Macron. Macron was greeted by furious fans with insults and loud whistles echoing across the stadium. Nobody in France can stand this wannabe Napoleon anymore.

@BarbaraPocock @JaneCaro 💰💰 350 CSIRO research roles of which 92 are involved in “critical climate science & modeling” will be axed-it beggars belief that so many researchers are/were employed to “model” the climate 🤔Common sense has now prevailed & the focus will be on adaptation & resilience 💰💰

Labor needs to respond immediately to the reports CSIRO will tomorrow sack a THIRD of the team working on Australia’s national climate model. Australia’s climate science capability is globally significant & locally irreplaceable. A shameful way to treat our scientists.

@FranMooMoo @TracyEllio4865 🦒🦒 In other words all you hard working aspirational giraffes, if you’re thinking of working that double shift to invest in, well anything really, don’t bother because our socialist government will tax you extra to give to all of the “ just like the rest of us” zebras 🦓🦓

Senator Ellie Whitaker talking to Australians like toddlers and demonstrating that the only entity growing its coloured balls, while giraffe and zebra work their butts off, is the government.

@DefiantLs 🔔🔔 Why doesn’t Mark Ruffalo shift from capitalism himself - a few options come to mind - North Korea, Cuba, China or perhaps Eritrea, Angola or Algeria - just a thought 🤔… bon voyage Mark 🔔🔔

Mark Ruffalo suggests America shift from Capitalism, “It’s gonna take some re-imagining of what America is.”

@karlstefanovic 💰💰 Poor bloody farmers at the front line of the green energy transition destruction - it’s their life being screwed financially & emotionally … while the “climate change” industry quietly & relentlessly rolls out & reaps in 🤑 💰💰

They promised cheaper power. Farmers say it’s a lie. Billions of taxpayer dollars. Productive farmland destroyed. Families left paying the price while politicians refuse to admit fault. Live now in Karl Weekly. Link in bio.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @OldPunk76 🔥🔥 The UK MET office must be girding their loins at the prospect of another fire season - it’s the season where pyromaniacs/arsonists run rampant lighting fires all over Europe in the name of global warming 🔥🔥

The UK MET Office in the UK have been caught fraudulently publishing data and temperatures from Weather stations that don’t even exist anymore, following a FOI request. It’s been one of the worst Springs on record, no Sun anywhere and cold all the time. Now the UK is due for just a few days of sunshine - Legacy Media will try & convince you we’re in a ‘Global boiling’ - however, you can clearly no longer trust anything the National Meteorological Office says.

@SandyXiaotong 🔔🔔 Keep it up SBS & ABC “journalists” - your leftist activism doubles as a recruitment drive for One Nation 🔔🔔

SBS FAKE NEWS FIREWORKS: Watch SBS Anna Henderson claim One Nation is a Neo Nazi Party. Pauline Hanson was having none of it. Watch

@RussConnor3 @PeterGr48811483 🍾🍾 Paul Keating up there in his Ivory Tower-sitting pretty on the public purse with no worries & no idea how those below him struggle to make ends meet … a champagne socialist on steroids. 🍾🍾

So this old curmudgeon says that anyone who complains about Labor's new taxes is motivated by "naked greed". Not bad coming from a bloke who's been on the public gravy train since 1969. Currently on a lifetime indexed pension in excess of $400,000 p.a Sickening hypocrisy.

@JulianHillMP 🐝🐝 Most clued up Australians would disagree with you - this is purely & simply a devious tax grab that will affect young & old, especially the entrepreneurial young who wish to improve their lifestyles by investing in shares, property or a business - Ned Kelly would be proud 🐝

Australia’s tax system will be fairer, more productive and give young Australians a fair crack at buying a home #auspol

Well said, Farmer Dave! The world has gone completely mad, none of it makes sense anymore. The only sane move left is to scrap this Net Zero nonsense and remove the parties that are actively supporting this nightmare.👇🏽🇦🇺
