    Press briefing: Helping reporters tell a better and more pointed story about extreme heat and the impact it has on their community

    The co-founder and executive director of "Covering Climate Now", Mark Hertsgaard, recently moderated a Press Briefing entitled "Deadly Heat, Vital Reporting". In this press briefing, panellists discussed climate adaptation best practices, attribution and end-to-end science, and storytelling tips, equipping journalists to deliver the coverage their audiences need. Covering Climate Now said: "As millions of Europeans swelter under record-shattering heat and North America faces similar temperatures next week, civic-minded reporting can literally save lives. "As journalists, we’re part of the 'social infrastructure' that shapes how communities experience extreme weather. In the short term, providing accurate and timely information on the dangers and how to stay safe is imperative. The best reporting also explains the “why” behind extreme weather: global warming driven by burning fossil fuels has overheated the planet, making heatwaves hotter, longer, and more frequent." "‘Frustrating start’ to ski season as climate change and El Nino weather pattern converge"; "Heat Wave Spreads East on Wednesday, Putting Millions More at Risk".

    Interview: Barry R. Davis has written a book about something for which there is no evidence - should 'The Preventioneers' be successful there is nothing to show

    Barry R. Davis has written a book about something whose success is often invisible - should "The Preventioneers" be successful, there is nothing to show/see. The author has pulled something of a magical trick, as his excellent book is about an issue for which there is no obvious evidence or visible result. And that, of course, is the sleight of hand, for if the efforts of his subjects bring success, the disaster does not happen. "The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries That Changed Our World" takes on a journey through inspiring stories of individuals who shaped prevention as a public good. For those of us concerned about climate change, Davis explores the motivations and achievements of climate scientist James Hansen. It's an enjoyable book, well worth reading.

    Event: Carbon capture in the Asia-Pacific — Progress, policy and the path to net zero - 'Powering the Future' with the Melbourne Energy Institute

    The fourth seminar in the Powering the Future series was presented by Dr. David Kearns from the Global CCS Institute. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly recognised as essential to achieving net zero, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals and LNG. This seminar examined the role of CCS in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region, where industrial emissions, energy demand growth and existing infrastructure make carbon management especially important. The presentation outlined why most credible climate pathways include large-scale CCS deployment, and how the technology is evolving alongside broader decarbonisation efforts. The seminar also explored recent advances in CCS policy, deployment and technology development across Australia and the region, including new projects, carbon management hubs and cross-border collaboration. Alongside this progress, it will address the major barriers still limiting deployment — including policy uncertainty, investment and infrastructure challenges, and the need for stronger market incentives. The discussion concluded with a practical assessment of what is needed to accelerate CCS deployment and strengthen Australia’s role as a regional leader in carbon management. You'll find a "recording of the event here".

    Climate News: Pauline Hanson addresses the Nation Press Club illustrating that both she, her party and supporters are locked in the 20th Century and unaware that the world needs new thinking

    One Nation Party leader, Pauline Hanson, has just addressed the National Press Club and, in doing so, illustrated that she, her party and supporters are locked into 20th-Century thinking, seemingly unaware that this is the 21st Century, a time and place that needs a whole new approach and athletic thinking. Here is a story from The Melbourne Age - "‘We must be monocultural’: Hanson demands end to multiculturalism, calls climate change a hoax", and another from The Guardian - "Pauline Hanson’s speech ‘shameful’ and echoed ‘rubbish’ from rightwing figures in UK and US, critics say".
