“Do the fossil fuel industry’s claims of Australia’s gas-fired future stack up?”

No. Gas is only good for the future of the fossil fuel industry. #NoNewCoal #NoNewGas #NoNewFossilFuels

“One-day downpours have “increased in frequency and magnitude over the last several decades and will continue to increase in both in the coming decades,” University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado said”

So a dozen pious protesters did some kind of pray-in (like a sit-in, but with less shouting/more meditation) at the main Sydney building of #NAB (one of Australia's 'Big Four' banks). They were trying to get a meeting with the CEO or relevant executive to discuss NAB's ongoing financing of #coal expansion in Australia.

After a bit, #NSWpolice warned them they were trespassing and told them to go. They kept praying/chanting. So one by one they were extracted from the foyer and ejected onto the pavement outside.

Apparently, there have been a whole bunch of protests this week targeting NAB's #coal financing (including even the awful #WhitehavenCoal). Few of them have got much/any media and it looked like this action was similar. I can see social media posts, but didn't notice any coverage in mainstream Oz press.

Anyway, here's my question: is this kind of thing effective? A waste of time? Does it actually change corporate decisions or public discourse? Is it misdirected? Inspired? Should these greenie god-botherers be making a whip and overturning the tables of the moneylenders?

Today, more than fifty environmental and climate organisations signed an open letter calling on the Australian Government to listen to scientific evidence on climate change and prevent new fossil fuel projects and expansions.

Published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times today, the open letter coincides with the Senate debate on the government's proposed laws that are supposed to reduce emissions from Australia's biggest polluters.

The crossbench has raised concerns that the Safeguards Mechanism legislation, as it stands, will do nothing to prevent the expansion and creation of 100+ new gas and coal projects across Australia.

The organisations join more than one hundred Australian scientists and experts who signed the open letter calling for no new fossil fuel projects, with prominent signatories including Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty and former Australian of the Year Professor Fiona Stanley.

Will you join them and add your name to the open letter? Here's the link.

Outside of China, the coal project pipeline has reached historical lows, dropping below 100GW for the first time. New analysis from @e3g. 🔽

We have our own analysis on China's coal boom coming soon.

Might add another line that says 'No New Fawlty Towers' just to cover more of my strong opinions.

@VoicesofWentworth with the teal wave in the Federal election, talking about the NSW government investing in coal mines seems a high risk strategy. #nonewcoal seems a safer bet.
#fossilfuel #coal

@VoicesofWentworth We need there to be #NoNewCoal why is the NSW LNP proposing to fund it?

This is excellent news, and hopefully only the first of many to come.

The safeguard mechanism, must have significant teeth! 🔥🥂

📮 On 14 February last year, Hannah delivered an ultimatum to Downing St — halt new oil and gas licences or Just Stop Oil will be forced to enter into civil resistance. With no response from the Government, Hannah bravely took direct action.
