Climate targets that depend heavily on CO2 removal may contravene international law

I was extremely proud of Australia’s performance in last night’s defeat. Less proud of Australia’s performance in today’s defeat.

“Shepherd says most mainlanders act as if they are more intelligent than Taswegians and that denizens of the island state are somehow backward. She says the Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Company have even named one of their export lagers, The Mainlander.”

BP & Shell just announced record profits due to sky-high energy prices that are pushing people across the UK into despair. The Govt won't tax these windfall gains b/c it claims industry will invest in the public interest. Here's why that's plainly wrong: https://t.co/qzTiYOxIuw
