25.01.2022 The EU has agreed disastrous bioenergy policy that will allow ever more trees and crops to be burnt for energy, increasing greenhouse gas emissions even more than fossil fuels would do.

18.01.2022 More cheating on emissions from forests and savannah. Important revelation: not only are Australia's carbon emissions rising, but this is when the emissions from the 'land use, land use change and forestry' category are dramatically understated.

06.01.2022 Australia is leading the world on biodiversity loss but funds are cut to the relevant departments in Canberra! "It takes one bad policy and a day of bulldozing to destroy a forest that could take anywhere between 300 and a 1000 years to recover to a functional forest, "A study published in the journal Nature in November showed Australia was among the worst offenders when it came to biodiversity loss, included in a group of seven countries responsible for 60 per cent of the world’s biodiversity loss."
