Climate change: Ban fossil fuel advertising says UN chief
  • They always say how good, important, necessary they are without any mention of the pain and suffering that they have caused in the past and the chaos that they bequeath to our kids. Definitely ban them advertising!

  • The world’s largest direct carbon capture plant just went online
  • Thanks for the article. Your thoughts are probably similar to mine in that carbon capture probably is part of the solution but it’s hard to see how the volume of CO2 captured can be ramped up enough to be meaningful. It is certainly meaningless if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels.

  • Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites
  • I suppose that once you have laws that allow blocking one type of site then other sites will be pretty easy to be added. A precedent sort of thing. Done once then others will follow.

    Pretty amazing that piracy is such a hot topic such that freedoms can be curtailed but everyone’s right to an AR15 must be protected.

  • Live Tracking

    I’ve seen the odd reference to live tracking (like WhatsApp) in Signal but as I can’t find any real detail I assume that it doesn’t exist. Is that the case?

    It’s not surprising that we may have passed 1.5c however the confirmation that climate science is on the money is a worry.

    I didn’t think Australia had a Greta
    www.sbs.com.au Why Australia’s answer to Greta Thunberg is facing years behind bars

    At 19, this climate activist is now facing serious legal consequences over a foiled protest outside the home of the boss of an energy giant in Western Australia. Here's why she still believes she's on the right side of history.

    Why Australia’s answer to Greta Thunberg is facing years behind bars

    I didn’t realise that Matilda was #australia’s answer to Greta but I do now. All these new laws to stifle protest that the state governments have introduced show the power of the fine hand of the fossil fuel lobby.
