Dry conditions draw emus to the suburbs

"Wildlife groups say the emus are seeking water due to drought conditions and urge the community to be mindful of the animals' welfare. WIRES had also been saddened to hear reports of children throwing rocks at the wandering emus and urged parents to discourage it." >>

👋 USA. Take a look at what importing our oil is doing to the earth.

"A dizzying bird’s-eye view of #Alberta’s oilsands

It’s the largest bitumen deposit in the world. Mining there is visible from space. And for many Canadians, the #oilsands
are still completely unseen "

Labour's Tom Hayes getting monstered on Bluesky for this post, over Labour looking the same as the Tories and Reform after their retreat on LGBTQ+ existence.

But again, I'll instead say on 'net zero', the term and idea is simply a sop to fossil capital to allow them to continue to profit from extraction, until the theory in some year in the future, magically carbon dioxide will be fully offset.

And by that time, it will be too late for it to do anything anyway, so they'll have got away with the destruction scot-free.

But what's great for politicians and others pushing this over eliminating fossil capital immediately, is they don't have to worry about it either, as they'll be long gone from the scene by that year too.

Protecting Australia's unique ecosystems or extractivism as usual ?

"With one of the highest rates of extinction in the world and more than 7.7 million hectares of threatened species habitat destroyed since 2000, Australia is considered by many to be in a biodiversity crisis...The agenda is entirely geared towards fast-tracking development."

ABC News · Where Labor and the Coalition stand on nature and environment policies this federal electionBy Peter de Kruijff

Wells Fargo is working with Musk and Trump to privatize the USPS.
It is also financing fossil fuel companies.
You can use the editable letter below to send your thoughts to Wells Fargo leadership.

actionnetwork.orgTell Wells Fargo: We Won’t Let You Backslide Into Climate Chaos and Corporate Authoritarianism We already knew Wells Fargo was risky business—for their customers, their workers, and the planet. But now? They’re fully off the rails. Did you know that Wells Fargo is one of the world’s largest financiers of fossil fuels in the world? And they're the lead financier of fracking. That's why we call them Oily Wells. Did you know that Oily Wells recently walked away from all of its 2030 and 2050 climate commitments? Well, they were the last to commit and now they're the first first major bank to abandon net zero — Talk about major commitment issues. Did you know they’re now working with anti-democratic forces to privatize the U.S. Postal Service, proposing to slash union jobs and raise prices up to 140%? (thanks to *checks notes* a leaked memo, oops) This is the authoritarian playbook in action: corporate overreach, climate destruction, and public disinvestment—all under the guise of “efficiency.” What the f***? Their proud stagecoach logo isn’t just branding—it represents a legacy of land grabs and resource extraction in the American West. And they’re still at it, just with fancier suits and expensive PR to make them look good. We’re not going to let them pull a fast one. Wells Fargo's departure from the Net Zero Banking Alliance isn’t just a policy move. It’s a signal to other banks that they too can back out of global climate commitments without consequence. Absolutely not, we refuse, and we know better. Synonymous to takeovers, the financial sector is trying to distract us. To overpower us and make sure we lose our footing so we can't keep them accountable. But we are too rooted for the places we call home and our sustainable futures. The people have stopped corporate greed before—through pressure campaigns, community resistance, and direct action. And we’re going to do it again. This is a winnable fight. But only if we act now. Wells Fargo needs to feel public pressure at every turn. Remind them that they don’t get to quietly betray our futures without our say. Take Action Use this tool to send an email directly to Wells Fargo’s top executives. Demand that they: Reverse their withdrawal from climate finance commitments End any involvement in schemes to privatize USPS Stop funding fossil fuels immediately This moment calls for their courage, not their cowardice. Let’s rise to meet demand it.
