Three climate activists have been fined for attempting to spray political messages on Woodside boss Meg O'Neill's home, after a Perth magistrate told the trio they had crossed a line by targeting her personally.
tbh I’ve never taken that seriously, it implies that like tiny islands are contributing far more than they do, I’ve always argued that if you have a billion people your share and responsibility is a billion times higher than everyone else’s
Also because
we can’t exactly stand up on the world stage and point at China/USA/India for their actions
I don’t really think they care at all what we say tbh, COVID was proof, when push comes to shove they won’t admit to anything even if the whole world is looking at them…

I dislike this picture, because it breeds futility
In a lot of ways it is futile, we are a tiny island nation with 25,000,000 people vs 3,000,000,000 Chinese and Indians
and on top of that… most people don’t give a shit about the climate which you noticed:
One of the biggest things the electorate wants is an increase in housing supply. Not just any housing though, we all want our 4x2’s in the suburbs.
and even better! there are loads of people who fill out forms saying climate change is a top priority! but then the moment there’s any sort of inconvenience at all, they turn around and suddenly detest climate action, look at the amount of hate paper straws get and they don’t even have anything to do with climate change :))
And now in Queensland I have to put up with the liberal party taking us back 10 years with renewables :|
To me I’d far prefer it if those 4 people had good jobs making good money and spent it on solar installs, battery installs, EV’s, heat pumps, even donating to https://corenafund.org.au/ because the money goes directly to climate action
CORENA offers zero interest loans and technical assistance to eligible non profits for climate projects which are repaid using their energy cost savings.
I still use ecosia.org every day etc, I just think that protesting like this and blocking roads is silly when you can actually implement change yourself so effectively, just do the best that you can do, vote for climate friendly political parties and your job is 99% done

But… there’s still plenty of good things happening, I still thank MastoFeed.org for making running this account a pinch: https://mastodon.au/@RenewEconomyRSSFeed
