So, set low, milquetoast taegets that are essentially useless and cant even achieve that.

Weve tried nothing and gave run out if ideas

Our Deep Sea ecosystems are some of the most uncharted in the world. But before we get to fully understand them, we could lose them.

The capital cost of a synchronous condenser roughly the size of Ararat’s is $137m, according to a report from the Australian Energy Market Operator (Aemo). One study suggests that in a 100% renewable energy system, the equivalent of up to 40 machines could be required across the electricity grid.

triple the money they provide to others for adapting to a warming world by 2035

omitted any mention of the fossil fuels driving it

Once rich with magnesium and life, Australia’s soils are running on empty — and so are we

You don’t have to own a farm to be part of the fix:

• Buy from regenerative growers at local markets. Ask how they treat their soil.
• Compost food scraps. Every peel or coffee ground returned to earth repairs a small piece of the cycle.
• Grow something. Even a balcony herb pot reconnects you with the living chemistry of soil.
• Support food literacy. Teach children that true nourishment begins underground. When consumers reward soil care instead of packaging, agriculture follows.

I did not notice this but every year we are getting closer

`>Almost two out of three corals across popular tourism spots at the world heritage-listed Ningaloo reef died after an unprecedented marine heatwave hit the Western Australia region, scientists have said.

Solution ? Vote for politcans who will extract more, coal and gas and a usless COP gab fest in Australia while we LARP at giving a shit ? after all we still have the other 1/3 of corals to kill !

I went through SolarQuotes.com.au to get an idea of battery installation prices. I've already got 6.6kw of solar.

Everything seemed to come out at around $800-$1000/1kw of storage which seems huge. I feel solarquotes attracts high priced quotes the same way hi-pages does.

At the prices I'm seeing I'm more likely to buy a tired Nissan Leaf ($20k) to act as the battery given they come with a 40kw(at new) battery and use the Japanese ChadMEO 2-way-charging.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I've just moved to a new place last month and now have storage space to bulk buy this Black Friday. When I started looking for certain items, especially ones associated with health and wellbeing, I was quickly disgusted by the amount of blatant greenwashing and I was surprised to see some technically recyclable products are currently recommended to not be recycled by local council.

It's made me wonder about some brands which I had assumed were legitimately environmentally conscious, and I want to confirm I'm making a better choice before buying significant amounts of their products.

What are some resources for helping us make environmentally-conscious shopping choices? Such as suggesting or auditing products for environmental impact compared to competitors.

Episode also available on the Crikey website

So the Coalition has (again) decided to ditch net zero. How much should you care? Very little, according to Crikey climate contributor Ketan Joshi. Far more pressing is the state of climate, environment and energy policy-making by the Labor government — which could pass world-leading legislations with the help of a supportive Senate, but is instead pursuing its own form of climate denialism.

Joshi joins the podcast to explain which policies and amendments could change the game for Australia, spill some gossip about the bid to host COP31, and share how he remains committed to optimism even as the fossil fuel disinformation machine tries to kill hope.

Questions first, explanation underneath,

1. Are tetra-pak containers actually better for the environment? Or is it a bit of a con?

2. Would powdered Oat milk be better than tetra-pak, or other containers?

I'm getting into Oat milk, been a long time coming, finally just getting on and doing it.

We've ordered some Nimbus powdered online. But for now I've been drinking from the Tetra-pak Oat milks. Brands were Vitasoy and Oatley (apparently they're shipped from Europe? Wtf?).

I looked up thinkstep anz's comparative assessment of tetra-paks impacts and it comes out top. But this seems about as independent as a trouts flipper, so i'm not sure i trust their conclusion.

Any answers, or guidance would be muchly appreciated. :)

This event centers on Pacific voices and scientific insight to spotlight lethal humidity as a growing threat to human survival. It explores cascading impacts of extreme humid heat on health, food and migration, and calls for urgent global action to achieve Real Zero emissions and protect communities in a rapidly warming world.

Speakers:

Dr Andrew Forrest AO - Executive Chairman and Founder, Minderoo Foundation and Tattarang Dr Shanta Barley - Chair, Lethal Humidity Global Council The Hon. Josh Wilson - Assistant Minister for Climate Change & Energy, and Assistant Minister for Emergency Management, Australian Government The Hon. Dr Maina Talia - Minister for Home Affairs, Climate Change & Environment, Government of Tuvalu Dr Tzeporah Berman - Chair, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative Dr Bill Hare - Founder and CEO, Climate Analytics

Hosted by: Minderoo Foundation

One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist

Quite interesting that it's really just a fossil fuel gathering. Even Brazil is clearing the Amazon and still exploring for oil and gas

On another note, bit like having it in Australia, we're a "petro state" and should be banned from even attending, let alone how completely cringe it is to even LARP at concern, so lets hope we don't get it. The emissions involved to get everyone to the arse end of Australia (Adelaide) at the arse end of the world are ludicrious, better to use the funds to give GST exemptions on bicycle purchases and build better cycling infrastructure)

How understanding risk and resilience can help us target effective, child-sensitive climate investments

As climate change accelerates, children are disproportionately impacted due to their unique developmental characteristics. The climate crisis threatens children's immediate wellbeing and their futures, requiring targeted interventions to address needs. This event showcases how understanding climate risk specifically for children can drive effective investments which build resilience for children and their communities.
