Through the heatwave haze, the hypocrisy of Australia’s fossil fuel policy shines bright

"The heatwave that blanketed much of Australia in early January was five times more likely to occur now than before human-caused global heating changed the climate." World Weather Attribution

"The focus in 2026 is increasingly likely to turn to the nation’s huge fossil fuel exports, an area where the government – which declares it is committed to trying to limit global heating to just 1.5C, a goal rapidly fading from view – remains blatantly hypocritical...Thermal coal expansions still get the greenlight."

A groundbreaking discovery! A Super-Earth, located just $20$ light-years away, has been confirmed to be orbiting within its star's Goldilocks Zone. This placement makes the existence of liquid water highly plausible. This is the moment science fiction turns into a potential fact.
