I love these English football stories. ⚽️

David Shoebridge is on fire at the NPC, rejects claim The Greens are not near the “sensible centre” just coz they don’t bash migrants & oppose Israel’s genocide, “I reject any correlation b/w that & what we’ve been doing…to call out a genocide & say kids should not be killed”💥

Sweden will switch from mRNA COVID vaccines to Novavax (protein-based vaccine) in 2027/28. According to Sanofi, Sweden will be the first country in the world to make this exclusive switch. Officials also plan to lift restrictions for under-30s after reassessing concerns about heart inflammation.

Well Done !!!! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏

The Economist got it right. "No country seriously contemplates Toronto levels of self-restraint"

The Govt's new aged care algorithm has been assessed as neither fair nor consistent. The Govt must listen to experts and ensure they don't pursue another robodebt-style automation designed to cut costs at the expense of desperately-needed support #auspol

It is 40 years since the warnings began to break through. And what do we have? Fantasies about "adapting" to 3 degrees. We have allowed the worst of us to condemn all of us (and the other species we "share" this planet with) to unimaginable suffering. Homo "sapiens" my very fat arse.

October 28, 1956 – New York Times reports “Warmer Climate on the Earth May Be Due To More Carbon Dioxide in the Air” allouryesterdays.info/2022/10/27/o...

Yesterday (Oct. 26) marked the 150th consecutive day that the Niño 3.4 sea surface temperature set a new record daily high, at 30.22°C (preliminary). This was more than 1.13°C above the previous record daily high set in 2015, as well as a record 3.49°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.

Spooky! It now looks like the 4-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly will reach 1.500°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline on October 28th. The Climate 8-Ball will be dressing like a 9-Ball for Halloween. Stay tuned!

I am old enough to remember when it was agreed that 2 degrees warming would spell real trouble. And now the boiling frogs are saying an extra degree can be adapted to... This is copium for the Fafocene. It's going to get very fugly quite soon. www.euronews.com/2026/10/27/e...

The letter-writers are bringing it today.

I apologize for not being on top of this landmark crossing, but the global sea-surface temperature is once again in "gobsmackingly bananas" territory. The Climate 8-Ball says: uncharted territory dead ahead!

Breaking News! Code: y-Axis Alert! Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0°C. Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.

How might our relationship with the living world shift if our language treated plants and animals as fellow beings and kin rather than “it”?

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

There's much love for Helen Haines in the House today. 🧡

We’re all wishing Helen Haines a speedy recovery. She is warm, committed, smart, respectful and one of the most effective champions of integrity in public life. She has already changed Parliament for the better more than anyone else.

Zali Steggall praises Helen & Phil Haines after they raise an incredible $1M + for Save The Children. 👏👏 & says we can all learn from them. “We have heard your words loud and clear, kindness over hate.” 🩵 #auspol

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to early October. XFG.* "Stratus" variants remained dominant, growing to 52% frequency. The JN.1.* + DeFLuQE lineages (almost all PJ.2.1) were roughly flat at 13%. 🧵

I have refused many invitations to be interviewed by Piers Morgan over the years. This time I made an exception, on the condition that it be one-on-one, not a scream fest, and that it actually be about the book Astra and I wrote. It was... an experience. youtu.be/SMFQBQx-qSU

Exceeding 1.5°C of warming is now unavoidable. But how much further temperatures rise depends on how quickly we cut emissions. The new #EmissionsGap Report shows how deep those cuts must be to limit warming and make a return to 1.5°C possible. Explore the findings: https://ow.ly/voCP51002C2

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! It takes 2 weeks to confirm ocean sea surface temperatures and the long wait is finally over. The first day in recorded history with Nino 3.4 SST at or above 30.0°C is now officially on the record. October 7, 2026: 30.000°C. climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_dai...

ICYMI David Pocock’s pre-scheduled appearance at the press club this week where he opened his speech with some words to Helen Haines, her staff and her family 🧡

@davidpocock.bsky.social delivered a BRILLIANT speech today at the NPC & I am absolutely fired up! 🔥 Australians CAN get better political representation through Community Independents who represent their communities & not vested interests. This is worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsd5...

"The “statistial significance” of this model is overwhelming, i.e. we can resoundingly reject the hypothesis that global average SST has warmed at the same rate for the last several decades. It’s a lot faster now (about 0.3°C/dec) than it was before 2012 (less than 0.1°C/dec)."

Leon Simons responds to UN: “We cannot return to lower temperatures with only emission reductions and carbon capture and storage. Anyone who claims that is grossly negligent. Misrepresention of inconveniet truths in order to give people false hope is very dangerous.” x.com/LeonSimons8/...

Co worker who is too relaxed

“Opportunities to accelerate action have never been more abundant.” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres calls for stronger climate pledges & wider use of proven policies as the world is set to breach the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit of global warming. #EmissionsGap
