Peter Dutton manages to nudge Australian print media outlets climate mentions up to a high not seen since Nov 2022. And all it took was him spouting some nonsense bullshit that was nonetheless coded to be media catnip while real, serious issues are ignored sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/icecaps/rese...

We will see how the final result lands, but if this holds it does seem likely that given a choice between the center and the far right, voters chose the far right. Given a choice between the left and the far right, they chose the left. How about that!

Speaking here a world-renowned expert on French politics: RN lost most of their support purely because they threatened to destroy wind turbines, and you don't go after the lovely, nice tall wind turbines if you wanna win www.globalconstructionreview.com/le-pen-promi...

Le Pen promises to take down all France’s wind turbines if elected - Global Construction Reviewwww.globalconstructionreview.com Marine Le Pen, the head of the far-right National Rally (RN) party, has said she would take down France’s wind turbines and end subsidies for renewable energy if she was…

RE the french elections - do exit polls tend to be a reliable predictor of outcomes? How happy are we allowed to pre-emptively be here

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

In San Francisco, where cyclists already contend with angry drivers and unpredictable jaywalkers, self-driving cars present a new obstacle.

Cyclists can’t decide whether to fear or love self-driving carswww.washingtonpost.com Cyclists have a contentious and sometimes deadly relationship with human drivers. Now they are split about whether self-driving cars can make the roads safer.

This @theausinstitute.bsky.social survey illustrates kind of perfectly why the fossil fuel industry spends so much marketing spend talking about jobs, economics and how dependent government revenue is on fossil fuels. australiainstitute.org.au/wp-content/u...

This is beyond the fucking pale Putrid vile sickening blatant Islamophobic racism Remember Labor supports genocide next election day It's a tough read but this is an excellent article by Alex Mckinnon Please read and share Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The thing that pops into my memory here is that during the first few days / weeks of the Yassmin Abdel-Magied outrage, a huge swathe of white centre-left "progressives" either quietly condemned her or said nothing at all. It was only when they had safety in numbers that they supported her.

"Tomme" kollektivfelt. Det er da ingen som er så dumme at de tror at hvis bilene fikk stå i kokkeltivfeltet og lage kø også, så kunne de på magisk vis flyttet seg når bussen kom?

Mediene, nå NRK , fortsetter sin kampanjejournalistiskk for privatbil. Poenget med kollektivfelt er at kollektivtrafikken skal komme fram. www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/ko...

– Har gått prestisje i å holde kollektivfeltene tommewww.nrk.no Men Vegvesenet har dårlige nyheter til dem som vil ha elbilene tilbake i bussfila.

How far will the fossil fuel industry go to protect itself from climate impacts it helped cause? A $21 billion liquefied natural gas plant in Louisiana will be surrounded by a 26-foot-high steel sea wall to stave off rising seas.

A rising fortress in sinking landwapo.st Rising seas and steel walls test the strength of a Louisiana coastal gas development, raising questions about flooding, climate change and community impacts.

Back in the early to mid 2010s there was this view that you should gently convince right wingers to believe in climate science and my response was always: "a right wing that believes the science is scarier than one that denies it" WELP HERE WE ARE www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

One of the most head-spinning but largely unchallenged fossil industry lies in Australia is a monthly "warning" issued that there's a "gas shortage" which requires a million new gas fields to be opened up. More gas is burned *just to process gas exports* than is used domestically in manufacturing.

Happy fourth

The ickiest part of this is that even the slightest adjacency of human influence when it comes to afforestation or reforestation is counted as fully human induced and counted as negative emissions, like heavy rainfall on lands vaguely where people farm and decided to not entirely destroy the land

Pretty astounding that Canada's 2023 wildfires emitted four times more carbon than global aviation, but these emissions are not counted under Canada's accounting standards. Liz Kimbrough has the story for Mongabay: news.mongabay.com/2024/06/cana...

Canada’s 2023 wildfires outsmoked global aviation, yet emissions go uncountednews.mongabay.com On a June day in 2023, New Yorkers woke up to an eerie scene: the sky had turned a murky orange, the sun a dim red orb in the haze. The culprit? Smoke from wildfires hundreds of miles away, in Canada....
