There's nothing new per se here, but it's nonetheless a saddening read, gaaaaah.
ABC News · As the planet warms and liberal democracy is attacked, does the government care?
Climate litigation isn’t ‘activist lawfare’, it’s democracy at work. The oil, coal and gas industries have strategically ducked and weaved litigation for decades, but the law is catching up with them.
Forget climate denial, Labor’s tactical fatalism will burn us all. The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead.

@ajsadauskas @jaystephens Ta, interesting. I vaguely recall some of that, but your helpful toot defo provided more info than i knew.
I think something like this is why i feel, & tbh remain, so archly cynical... If Straya, & frankly the rest of the world, was genuinely honestly doing all the serious shit needed NOW to decarbonise & ameliorate, then seeking engineering solutions in flood zones like this would be ok. Knowing though that we & most others are totes NOT seriously addressing the crisis, fuels [boom tish] my severe pessimism, coz eg, engineering designs need engineering assumptions [in this case including expected heights & frequency of floods]. Such assumptions necessarily must be predicated on a certain "steady state" belief [plus safety margins thrown in]. That's all fine, IF we had reason to trust such assumptions. I do NOT trust them, simply coz there IS no steady state; humans are continuing to add more & more CO2 & CH4 to Gaia's atmosphere, thus more & more raising the enthalpy, ergo the heating energy, ergo... yada yada.
I'm nowhere near her electorate, but am on a mailing list from Zali Steggall, who just sent this. Fyi.

The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its nuclear plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative!
As usual, simply brilliantly incisive!

And, Jenny, whilst we do so, will it be in parallel with continuing to support fossilfools via approving more fracking & coal, more land clearing & native forest destruction, more Adani climate crimes?
Hmmmm, Jenny? Shall we ask Tanya? Oh no, silly me, it matters not what she thinks, coz renown Tory Fighter Elbow will just overrule.

Tbh, we're taking a multi-pronged approach here in Straya
- Yep, there's this disease thing, ofc
- But just in case we don't fully wipe them out that way, we're busily approving new coal & gas projects licketty split, so we can continue to air-fry the little bastards
- Then we have our other Cunning Plan, to approve ongoing massive deforestation to annihilate the stubborn buggers that way too
- Bonus points is that this way, we also wipe out heaps of our other critical species too

As i read more & more articles like https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/dec/25/extreme-heat-and-bushfire-risk-across-australias-south-east-on-christmas-and-boxing-days-as-grampians-blaze-rages, I reflect on my immense good fortune to have chosen to be born & exist in a country governed by sane sensible decent peeps who fully grasp that the most logical policy response to the escalating climate crisis is to frack more gas & dig more coal, & further who also know the most logical political response is to demonise other pollies who preposterously support climate- & eco-first policies, plus vilify all public protesters, who are QED devilspawn.
