Can't imagine why.. probably bots from the world of climate disinformation.
Background in IT, project management and consulting. Very concerned about the future of our earth and its precious life. Let's leave the combustion age behind us and stop burning dead things for energy! Renewable energy and electrification are the future.

Climate change is making natural disasters like floods & bushfires more frequent & extreme, costing everyday Australians billions of dollars every year. We need a climate disaster compensation levy on fossil fuel exports now. #auspol 📝 Add your name: theaus.in/fossilfuelco...

Murdoch culture is probably the most ethically bankrupt in the corporate world. Hacking the voicemail of a murder victim, anyone? Publishing the knowingly fake Hitler Diaries to make a few more sales? Pushing the barrow for criminal Trump? The list goes on.

Not much of an argument really. I'd like an Australian head of state, no matter if we call him/her president, emperor, national elder or whatever. Just a ceremonial role, with the mob who have the numbers in the lower house determining the prime minister.

The Govt’s delay of the National Climate Risk Assessment is deeply concerning. Australians deserve to know the risks & suppressing this info ahead of the 2035 target decision undermines trust. I’m calling for its release, a national adaptation plan & at least 75% emissions reduction by 2035. #75by35

More bullshit from Toyota. These guys have been making claims of their forthcoming solid state batteries for at least 10 years that I'm aware of, yet nothing has been shown to the public, ever. It's a ploy to make people delay EV purchase and slow down the move away from their polluting diesel utes.

Cancel AUKUS. Spend the money on health and education instead. AUKUS is a Morrison era wedge aimed at Labor, to ensure we don't spend money looking after our people. We shouldn't be giving so much to the US military industrial complex for obselete subs, with no guarantee of actually receiving them!

I agree partially. It doesn't take many bad decisions with fissile waste products to create a hazard to life for 100k+ years. In Australia, nuclear power is banned federally and in 5 states. We have some of the best solar and wind potential year round. If you've already got nuclear, keep it going.

Time to install a highly efficient heat pump hot water system. I have them installed in two separate houses and they use about 2-3 kWh per day to produce 200+ litres of hot water every day. I also run off solar power, so it's almost completely free hot water! Gas is for losers!
