Perth / Western Australia

covers emissions per capita

tbh I've never taken that seriously, it implies that like tiny islands are contributing far more than they do, I've always argued that if you have a billion people your share and responsibility is a billion times higher than everyone else's

Also because

we can’t exactly stand up on the world stage and point at China/USA/India for their actions

I don't really think they care at all what we say tbh, COVID was proof, when push comes to shove they won't admit to anything even if the whole world is looking at them...

Inline with:

I dislike this picture, because it breeds futility

In a lot of ways it is futile, we are a tiny island nation with 25,000,000 people vs 3,000,000,000 Chinese and Indians

and on top of that... most people don't give a shit about the climate which you noticed:

One of the biggest things the electorate wants is an increase in housing supply. Not just any housing though, we all want our 4x2’s in the suburbs.

and even better! there are loads of people who fill out forms saying climate change is a top priority! but then the moment there's any sort of inconvenience at all, they turn around and suddenly detest climate action, look at the amount of hate paper straws get and they don't even have anything to do with climate change :))

And now in Queensland I have to put up with the liberal party taking us back 10 years with renewables :|

But... there's still plenty of good things happening, I still thank MastoFeed.org for making running this account a pinch: https://mastodon.au/@RenewEconomyRSSFeed

Just today:

Brown coal hits new low in Victoria as wind and battery records tumble and renewables peak at 95.2 pct

https://reneweconomy.com.au/brown-coal-hits-new-low-in-victoria-as-wind-and-battery-records-tumble-and-renewables-peak-at-95-2-pct/

To me I'd far prefer it if those 4 people had good jobs making good money and spent it on solar installs, battery installs, EV's, heat pumps, even donating to https://corenafund.org.au/ because the money goes directly to climate action

CORENA offers zero interest loans and technical assistance to eligible non profits for climate projects which are repaid using their energy cost savings.

I still use ecosia.org every day etc, I just think that protesting like this and blocking roads is silly when you can actually implement change yourself so effectively, just do the best that you can do, vote for climate friendly political parties and your job is 99% done
