    Lecture: Our misunderstanding and misuse of our economic system results in societal ills, among them, the rapid worsening of climate change - it's our master we need to make it our servant

    Harry Rosson delivered the latest in the Public Money, Public Good lectures, titled "An economy that puts people & planet first: What it looks like & how to get there".

    Climate News: John Lewis came to Australia what seems like a lifetime ago, and although retired from full-time reporting at the Shepparton News, his column 'My Word', looks at climate change

    John Lewis came from England in what seems like a lifetime ago, and his first in Australia was with the Shepparton News. John, who quickly became a favourite with many readers of the city's newspaper, became, along with his family, an important member of the city's community, especially in the arts. Readers loved his "left field" writing, particularly in his column, "My Word", and the obvious empathy he had for people when he wrote about the daily lives of those he reported on. His latest column was: "Heated warnings from Europe". "‘Never seen so many grown men cry’: The everyday Aussies who can’t afford another disaster"; "International rise in chronic idiocy".

    Climate News: Climate migration is an issue the world must address, soon; Wildfires around the Earth emphasise the urgency and the need for all to grasp the reality of climate change

    Many things trigger migration, but a worsening climate enriches the mood among people to move, to find what they believe is a safer place. The Guardian tells about the thousands of people who stormed into one of Spain's territories in search of a better life, driven by many things, among them a worsening climate: "At least 57 people die as tens of thousands cross to Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco"; "Britain could face food shortages as drought continues, farmers warn"; "The Fossil Lobby Is Winning: 45 Climate Policy Reversals in One Year"; "‘It looked like an atomic bomb’: The Aussie pilots flying into a French firestorm"; "George and Amal Clooney flee luxury French home as wildfires rage"; "Earth’s Warming Primed France and Spain to Burn, Scientists Find"; "Extreme Heat Has Transformed What Summer Means Across Generations in Europe"; "Climate migration is coming. Cincinnati wants to shape its effects."; "Why Climateflation Will Drive Food Prices More Than War"; "Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder".

    Australia's Biggest Book Club: Tim Flannery discusses the new book written by he and his daughter, Emma: 'A brief history of climate folly'

    Tim Flannery (pictured) was on the most recent edition of "Australia's Biggest Book Club" organised by The Australia Institute. Long had I been concerned that Tim had said, according to my climate-denying friends, Australia's dams would never fill again. Answering a question about that during this webinar, Tim said it was clearly misinformation and those claiming he said that should produce the evidence.

    Climate News: Humanity must have a suicide pact with itself as an objective look around the world will take us to carbon-intensive wars and sporting events causing similar damage to our climate

    Is humanity on a trajectory toward death - does it have an unwritten suicide pact with itself? Wars and major international sporting events contribute massively to the worsening of the world's climate, resulting in wildfires in both Canada and Europe. "More than 200,000 people flee or lock down as wildfires sweep France and Spain"; "A Tempting Remedy for Heat-Stricken France: Be More Like Spain"; "What to Know About the Wildfires Raging in Western Europe"; "MAGA’s Response to Wildfire Smoke? Blame Canada!"; "Piketty Offers a Vision for Sharing What We Have Left, But How Do We Convince the 1%?".
