Rewilding farmland, soon after the trees spring up unplanted, a host of wildflowers and other ground flora move in, like this wood sorrel. Then come the insects, followed by birds and other animals.

It's all just so beautiful, and so *hopeful*.

This isn't merely a stunning act of courage, it's a massive message that they are counting on us to see their humanity and respond with humanity. They are putting their lives on the line. The absolute least that our leaders could do is put their vacations on hold.

We've subsidised oil companies for decades as we "need" their products to run society, but now we dont, we need to use those same subsidies for heat pumps, EV's, solar panels, turbines, bio mass what ever else we can use to generate electric, it's only fair, we'd get to "net 0" real fast that way.

This is heartbreaking.

In play, children reenact what they see in order to make sense of it and feel a degree of control.

In Gaza, little girls play "funeral" with their doll playing the role of a friend who has been killed.

Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.

Rather than opening more oil refineries, how about we get more EVs, more charging stations, more renewables, maybe even a super fast train or two.

Let’s stop planning a future that includes fossil fuels.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video.

every so often, I rewatch this amazing 2-minute clip of Jane Fonda being interviewed about gay rights in 1979.

her warmth, tone, and words are extraordinarily inspiring. “I hope they use me. What am I here for if not to be used by good people for good things?”

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim…
What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Who can't just buy an EV to help with the fuel costs - poor people.

Who can't just get solar panels & a battery to help with energy costs - poor people.

Who can't stockpile food to help with rising costs - poor people

See a pattern?

The poor always suffer most & can afford it least #auspol

A small irony to note. The ONP MP in #SAvotes lower house will be the Member for Narungga - an electorate named in honour of the Narungga people of the Yorke Peninsula. The electorate was created following a 2016 redistribution. Here's more info on the Narungga people www.nnac.org.au/about-us/

The world is adding 1 GW of solar every HALF DAY.

In 2004, that same 1 GW took a whole YEAR. That’s exponential S-curve disruption.

Next up:

🔋 Storage explodes
🚗 EVs accelerate
🛢️ Fossil demand gets squeezed

Sales tell you what’s happening. Capacity tells you what wins.
