The Orwellian Minister FOR the Environment seems focused on everything but the environment. Otherwise, he'd recognise we're in an #EcologicalEmergency which is indeed an #ExistentialEmergency.

Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export project is a disaster on five fronts:

🟠 Driving up WA energy prices
🟠 Threatening WA's domestic gas reserves
🟠 Paying even fewer royalties - down to just 0.6% of WA revenue in 2027-28
🟠 Corroding Murujuga rock art
🟠 Wrecking the climate

@dmacsyd.bsky.social: Australia’s new National Adaptation Plan"reads like a masterclass in good intentions—grand visions, glossy case studies & majestic statements about whole-of-society collaboration" BUT it's silent on how, who's responsible, "who pays, who acts or what happens if nothing changes"

“In a 2-yr old forest at Eddystone PS in Perth's north, the 'control' plants planted outside the specially prepared area are straggly & stand about 30cm tall.
The same species, planted at the same time, inside the Miyawaki forest are healthy & already >3m tall.”
How these tiny forests could be the solution to our dwindling tree canopy problem
These pocket forests are grown using the Miyawaki method, created by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s, and their rapid maturation could be the solution to Perth's shadeless suburbs.

It will add 90 million tonnes of emissions annually, equivalent to 12 new coal power stations

More reporting that top insurers say the #ClimateCrisis “could soon outpace industry solutions, effectively threatening to make entire regions around the world uninsurable.”

Typically required for getting a mortgage.

Tell me again how smart climate solutions “cost too much.”

We’re bad at math.
Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable
Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.
