nope, i just ain't having it, peter!

Many of the supporters of One Nation are hardworking, decent Australians who are disillusioned with the major political parties and are worried about the uncertainties facing their families’ financial future, the high cost of living and the impact of AI on their jobs. At the core of their concerns is a deep-seated worry that Australia is heading in the wrong direction and they are not being listened to or included in the nation’s journey.that's as maybe, but their choice now apparently to favour a party of hate & bigotry denotes them also as haters & bigots. pls don't try to bullshit those of us still with neurons & morality.

ofc they can & should be pissed off bigly with the old parties, but the answer is never One Notion, it's the Greens & ProgIndies. these voters can & should be turning their votes there. that they don't, is unforgivable & shameful, & they'll never have my compassion for acting so arseholeristically.

Pauline Hanson is no prime minister. This is what Labor must do to stem the rise of One Nation

When I became premier in Queensland in 1998, it was against a rise in One Nation support. There are valuable lessons for federal Labor today

Our flagship climate policy is safeguarding fossil fuels, not the climate

The Safeguard Mechanism was designed to hold Australia's 200-plus largest industrial polluters to account. But as Australia Institute analysis demonstrates, instead of driving genuine emissions reductions, the Mechanism has become something closer to a very lucrative permission slip for fossil fuels to keep polluting and expanding.

one of the most delightful aspects of this unfolding disaster, apart from the sheer schadenfreudean #karma of its

Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating, compounded by strengthening hurricanes, also a feature of the climate crisis, and the gradual subsidence of a coastline that has been carved apart by the oil and gas industry...is the anticipatory delight of how much this will enrage all the knuckle-dragging RWNJs, who will ofc reflexively rush forth as a bilious tidal wave to flood the zone with yet more of their hateful fact-free morally-bereft shitfuckery

i was initially just gonna tag this with my frequent tag
#wearetotallyfucked then leave it at that, but then i had this additional thought...

...yes our society truly is built on petrochemicals, & our realistic chances of being 100% rid of them is slim to bugger all for foreseeable generations, yet... if we can manage to stop using fossilfools as an
actual combustion fuel source, for most of our domestic, industry, & transport applications, then by definition our additional CO2 loading of the atmosphere would dramatically fall, thus finally making inroads on our hitherto unbroken rise in accelerating our #climatecrisis . so after all i don't think this article is as depressing as first blush

ofc, we won't actually DO any of this, coz humans basically are fuckheads

I tried to live for 24 hours without using oil-based products. It was ridiculously impossible

The world’s economy is completely dependent on petrochemicals. Is there any way to avoid them?

Big Oil Is Seeking Protection From “Leftist Legal Crusades”

At the top of the fossil fuel industry’s legislative priorities are sweeping protections against liability for the climate disasters they knew burning fossil fuels would cause. Republicans in Congress are doing their best to help out.

do tell how you reconcile your conscience wrt the conflict of fatuous frivolous discretionary travel by a means that burns one of the most polluting fuels on the planet, with the catastrophic acceleration of our human-induced climate crisis? do you have any sense of morality at all? is it all just me me me, for humans like you?

Why packing for a cruise ship is different to other holidays

Sure, things are simple when you only have to unpack once – but that’s no help if you forget the basics.

this problem is technically comprehensible to me, but nonetheless infuriating

just imagine if the strayan great unwashed had not spent decades supporting vacuous political arseholes lying in fossilfool beds, & instead actually acted on the science then. just think how so many of our contemporary problems would have been reduced, if not damn near obviated, had simply straya not continued to be the stupid country

a specific remark to the article -- wtf are the poor bastards supposed to do right now, who can't get warm, or cooking done, etc, til some indeterminate future time when the infrastructure catches up? they've done the right thing, & the ooniverse now punishes them for it. let no good deed go unpunished.
