Going public is rarely a survivor's first choice. When they tell their story, they quickly lose control of the narrative

Huge news! 55% of AGL shareholders voted to align AGL with the Paris Agreement.
This is the biggest #climate vote ever recorded in corporate Australia, without board support.
In practice, this would mean closing #coal fired power stations by 2030.

Many carbon credits for deforestation could be 'nothing more than hot air', report finds
A new analysis finds the level of deforestation "avoided" by carbon offset schemes is too high to have occurred in the first place, likening them to "paying someone not to drive to work when they never drove to begin with".

This is a serious problem. It appears that 20% of carbon credits created in Australia - including those that make up our main emissions reduction policy - could be junk. *thread* abc.net.au/news/2021-09-2…

'We mustn't let anti-vaxxers turn us into conspiracy theorists'
It may sound counterintuitive, but there is hope on the horizon. This week's protests are the dying gasp of a losing anti-vax movement.

CAMWILSON@cameronwilson
here's my optimistic take on the protests: It's the last effort of a vocal minority, campaigning on the losing side that has shrinking support.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of Australians have chosen to get vaccinated so they can enjoy life safely.
