22.01.2022 "I don’t think most people are that mean-spirited (or maybe I just hope not) and of course dozens of friends within the climate movement wrote to express their solidarity and love. But I have no doubt that many of the people who’ve seen the film are, at the least, disheartened. Here’s what one hard-working climate activist wrote me from Montana: The problem is, this movie is all over the place and is already causing divisions and conflicts in climate action groups that I’m involved in it’s like they detonated a bomb in the center of the climate action movement. Which I’m sure is true (and I’m sure it’s why the film has been so well-received at Breitbart and every other climate-denier operation on the planet)."

22.01.2022 Climactic contributor Gretchen Miller saw a post from Protect Warburton Ranges, of a young woman named Alice up a tree to protect old-growth native forest from clear-felling, forest just a kilometre from her home - her literal backyard. Alice, the same Alice you may have already heard on Climactic. So introductions were made, and from Gretchen in Sydney, to Alice up a tree in the Victorian Central Highlands, this interview was conducted late last night. Today we release it for you, because as this goes up Alice is still in her tree-sit, but not for long. Search and Rescue are on their way to remove this 'possum' from her tree.

07.01.2022 Rick Morton on what happens when a natural disaster crashes into a pandemic.

01.01.2022 It feels quite satisfying to call Josh Frydenburg's office and tell them you're opposed to our money being wasted on gas infrastructure. Please do it! Here is h...is number. A quick dial. A minute if that. (02) 6277 7340 From 350.org: Talking Points Tips: When you call, remember to be polite, friendly and calm. You will probably speak to a staffer, so just ask them to take down your message. Talking Points: Introduce yourself and why you’re passionate about the issue. I’m concerned about the announcement this morning that the Federal Government is about to hand millions in taxpayer money to the gas industry. The Australian public should NOT be paying for gas industry pipelines, infrastructure or buying gas directly from new fracking gasfields. The Queensland Hunter Gas Pipeline, the NT Beetaloo Fracking Pipeline and Bowen Basin pipeline would put farmers and Traditional Owners directly at risk. Gas is a bad investment. Our money shouldn’t prop up the gas industry. It puts farmers and regional communities in the firing line for new gasfields and fracking. We can create more jobs and opportunities if we support manufacturing and agribusiness to electrify and use plentiful renewable energy. We can switch away from gas. The Government could help homes and small businesses install renewables, get energy efficient, and invest in storage. We don’t need more gas and fracking gasfields.
