Webinar/Quick Climate Links: 'The planet will be fine, it's us who'll be f***ked' - Sarah Wilson quoting George Carlin
from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean
Author, podcaster and "Climate Engager", Sarah Wilson (pictured), was one of six guests on a webinar staged last night (Friday, April 6) by the Australian Conservation Foundation - the event was entitled "Together We Can Solve the Climate Crisis". The six-strong panel took a deep dive into climate solutions that are here now, and ready to go. Taking Sarah's advice, check out the George Carlin clip. The webinar lasts for about an hour and after that, you can dive into today's Quick Climate Links: "Michael McCormack will not rule out running for Nationals leadership again"; "New NSW logging rules still allow clearing of koala habitat, conservationists say"; "Sadhguru's Save Soil Movement: The breakthroughs so far"; "Climate sceptic thinktank received funding from fossil fuel interest" "U.S. to boost green jobs, curb emissions by plugging old oil and gas wells"; "Australians overwhelmingly support action to reduce carbon emissions, Vote Compass data shows"; "Smoke and Sandstorm, Seen From Space"; "Ecological Footprint and tourism: Development and sustainability monitoring of ecotourism packages in Mediterranean Protected Areas"; "Country Overshoot Days"; "Facing the Dutch Overshoot Day unprepared"; "Site of retired Iowa nuclear plant to become a solar farm": "Why you should care about ‘The Insect Crisis’"; "Leaders’ summit kicks off UN desertification conference in Côte d’Ivoire"; "Column: Republican denial will add to the drought’s body count"; "Coalition climate target consistent with more than 3C global heating, research says"; "Keeping coal-fired power plants running is a ‘dangerous game’ for Queensland Labor, expert says"; "Australia’s biggest industrial players are focusing on climate solutions – why isn’t the political debate?"; "Wildlife activists make 11th hour plea to save koalas before Victorian blue gums logged"; "Leading scientist calls for Great Barrier Reef coral bleaching report to be released before election"; "Australia’s beach that’s ‘one storm’ from disappearing"; "Think tank calls for complete overhaul of troubled Emissions Reduction Fund"; "The Colorado River: Devoured by Growth"; "Porsche investment could unlock up to a 50% boost in EV battery density"; "Climate School Dean Receives Environmental Champion Award"; "What Is Decarbonization, and How Do We Make It Happen?"; "Investing in health and wellbeing for environmental impact"; "Creating a Climate Neutral Innovation District"; "Moms push Massachusetts utilities to transition to renewable heat sources"; "On climate ‘doomism’: Heart & mind reasons to resist it'; "India ramps up coal production to record levels in extreme heatwave"; "Breakthrough discovery of groundwater beneath Antarctic ice sheet - and what it may mean for sea-level rise"; "One in 25 Australian homes uninsurable by 2030 due to climate crisis, researchers warn"; "2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave was sixth most extreme in the modern record"; "How can Aboriginal communities be part of the NSW renewable energy transition?"; "Biden solar tariff probe pushes Indiana utility to burn more coal"; "A net-zero future for gas utilities?
