Monbiot is always worth heeding. I wonder where the Pearl Harbour event for climate change will arise though. To require an impact so cataclysmic is horrible to contemplate but maybe only then will enough governments pay attention. Incremental change through the market is not enough.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/20/us-war-footing-1941-climate-emergency-earth-pearl-harbor
Three ‘S’ Sussan ought to stick to her numerology for she’s no great shakes as a Minister FOR the Environment. How can the Pentecostal PM keep a straight face at Glasgow bragging about meeting and beating targets while this nonsense is going on? I care not that I’m unpatriotic, I care about the environment and I hope he’s laughed out of town.https://www.michaelwest.com.au/clearly-unacceptable-environment-minister-sussan-ley-bans-renewable-project-blesses-three-new-coal-mines/

Here’s another reason to take up support for the mighty Magpies. Climate change is everything change and the challenges to many sports show the breadth of impacts. We Collingwood supporters will need a little patience before a taste of success though, the young team needs to work together for a while.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/oct/17/as-afl-footballers-were-using-our-platforms-to-inspire-change-on-climate-a-subject-we-care-deeply-about
As many articles in today’s Daily Links indicate, our policy on emissions reduction targets is being set by the Nationals party room, many antediluveans and just a few realists, rather than …
Hmm, which is the better metaphor, a submarine as a stalking horse or a Trojan horse for a local nuclear industry? AUKUS will see us, eventually, owning 8 nuclear – …

Here’s an example of Garret Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons in the making. Rehabilitation bonds, levied to make good landscapes after they have been mined, need to be substantial enough to do the job properly. The shareholders get their whack from the mining operations through the life of the mine, the taxpayer picks up the rehab costs if the bond is too small and the local community suffers a degraded environment when the job cannot be done.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-13/nt-mcarthur-river-mine-security-bond-reduction-foi-documents/100508728
There’s a lot of revisionism going on just now. Newscorp is inviting us to believe they’re on board with a new carbon economy through ‘Green and Gold’. What say you, Andrew Bolt? The Nationals aren’t on board with anything lest their miner-donors stop donating. Angus is having a hard time being Fantastic at anything and the parliamentary coal-fondler is getting antsy about a trip to Scotland and his government’s electoral chances. We’d be laughing it wasn’t existentially-threatening.https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2021/10/12/paul-bongiorno-climate-government-split/
