Over 100 #Wildfires Burn Across #Trudeau-#UNfriendly Province, #Alberta | May 7
- A reminder that an #election approaches in this province, and that Danielle #Smith, the relatively new premier, has been a major #critic of the Trudeau government.

I know, it’s just pure coincidence the province with 1.7 trillion barrels of #oil, with a premier who said they would get rid of the #carbontax, who said no to the fed #gun grab and who said no to the Fed interfering with resource devt
cc: @ WhiteCrkLumber
The forest #fires in #Alberta are serious, all the jibber jabber from the left blaming #Smith or the Forestry is just that, J-j. In Modern history never have so many fires started at all once so close to so many communities.

1/Thinking of #trees #peat #carbon and #nature and #fires. When are Victorians (without hysterics @theage ) to be made fully aware of the State #auslaws over fines in State Parks for picking up a rock, walking off track and so on. @DanielAndrewsMP/2
2/As it is now there are hundreds of shooting licensed people walking off track. Hundreds of thousands of feral deer, xrabbits,x pigs (latter two a food, anti #poverty source that cannot be culled by shooters) already damaging #native wildlife.Protecting #Indigenous locations/3
3/ @DanielAndrewsMP is key but to lock up (by fines) large areas is #segregation and discrimination. To lock up but then ok if you pay — is a cynical misuse of power. It would be good to hear from #Indigenous Victoria as we already know the value of the birthing trees was/4

In 2019, a population of Booroolong #frogs was rescued & translocated to Taronga for temporary holding in light of devastating impacts on its environment following prolonged drought & approaching Black Summer #bushfires zooaquarium.org.au/public/Public/… #SavingOurSpecies #ScienceWeek Image
Time was of the essence! These #frogs live only 3-4 years & were all adults on arrival at Taronga. These critical but ageing founders possess unique genes necessary for their species to adapt and survive in an ever-changing environment. Image
Cryopreserving sperm can be stored indefinitely, and so we can ensure that the #GeneticDiversity of wild populations is retained by helping these precious males produce offspring. Look at the frog sperm here!

"The Dry" could have been just another murder mystery film, but what made it interesting was how it weaved in the #ecological crisis in #Australia - #bushfires & #droughts - with the social crisis in #rural farming communities & small towns.
The swirling dust devils, the dried up #rivers & creeks, correlates with a societal collapse. The washing of a car with waste #water, the red crud that emerges out of shower heads, all narrating how a #rain starved society has hit its #ecological limit.
It is also about the decline of the farming community in #Australia. A telling comment in the film - an old #farmer worrying about how his #land will be tilled after he is gone: "Farms with no people. Imagine that. No need for towns. No need for any of us."

BREAKING: New report reveals that #Facebook is systematically spreading #climatedenial across its platform bit.ly/fbclimatemisin….

Please read and share the report, but THREAD 🧵 of findings below (1/9)
(2/9) Our 40-page review summarises over 100 academic studies, empirical reports and journalistic investigations. It finds that Facebook has been failing on all fronts when it comes to preventing #climatemisinformation
(3/9) Total disclosure - this was initially an internal document that we were never planning on publishing. But once we put all the evidence together, it felt overwhelming, and that we had a duty to release it to the public.

So what are Facebook doing? Or not doing?

Australia Exposed! Let's face it, tweeples, Australia has proved beyond doubt that we are a Racist, Homophobic, Elitist & Bigotted society! We have @ScottMorrisonMP as #PM, a self-centered,delusional #Pentacostal_Evangelist with many examples of his fit to my claim!
Then we have example after example of the obvious racism shown to #Australians of #Asian heritage, the ongoing bias & injustice we deliver to our #Indigenous_First_Nation people. Our failure to accept that we are all #Human, deserving of equal treatment, legally & socially!
Perhaps I should have added #Mysoginistic to my first tweet, because that fact is also clearly obvious! We have deluded ourselves, over decades, that we are a welcoming, caring, inclusive, kind & generous society, but the events of the past 12 months have shown that to be a myth!

THREAD on today's #ABS #GDP report, confirming Australia's 30-year recession-free streak is over. GDP shrank 0.3% in the March quarter (and will fall much more than that in the June quarter). So that marks the official start of a recession...2 @CntrFutureWork @unionsaustralia
Remember: the COVID lockdowns started just in the last 10 days of the March quarter. So they could not have impacted quarterly averages much. Rather, the seeds of this recession were planted long before #COVID19 hit our shores...3
The biggest drag contributing to lower GDP was a 1.1% fall in consumer spending: worst since 1986, 3rd worst on record. That wasn't due to COVID19: in fact, panic buying in March *boosted* retail sales. Lower consumer spending was due more to the #bushfires...4

Farmers are still waiting for bushfire loan applications to be assessed. #abc730 @lucethoughts #bushfires #auspol abc.net.au/news/2020-05-1…
Chicken farmer Dan Tarasenko from Quaama, on the NSW South Coast, almost lost everything in a massive #bushfire four months ago. “Damage-wise we probably lost a million dollars,” he said. #abc730 #auspol
The Tarasenkos applied for two different types of loans available to primary producers - one at the end of February and the other at the end of March. They’re still waiting for the assessment process on those loans to even start. #abc730 #auspol

“Over the last few months we've seen huge improvements with a lot of our burns victims … Now all [the #koalas] are in outside enclosures. Most of them, I think all except one, no longer have bandages.” - Sue Ashton, president of Port Macquarie @koala_hospital. #abc730 #bushfires
This fire season and drought have pushed #koalas closer towards being officially listed as endangered, with estimates of up to 10,000 killed this summer alone. #abc730

The #bushfires that swept the country this summer were truly unprecedented in scale and destruction. More than 8 million hectares were burned, 33 people died and now thousands of people face the task of rebuilding shattered lives. #abc730
Farmer Jade Corby and his family lost their home and most of their livestock when #bushfires almost wiped the NSW town of #Cobargo off the map. #abc730

Scott Morrison’s Deputy PM today in the @australian whines that “it really annoys me that I think states have been let off the hook largely this summer”. Here’s a few things that annoy me, about the recent bushfires...
@australian It really annoys me that, as we learned at Senate #estimates this week, Scott Morrison was warned “on multiple occasions” about the risk the bushfires posed, but he did nothing.
@australian It really annoys me that, for four years before the bushfires, Scott Morrison ignored pleas for more funding for water bombing. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Over the last 12 months, @isabellasaund and I have had the privilege of working with @socprogress to develop Australia's first Social Progress Index. amplify.csi.edu.au/social-progres… @CSIsocialimpact
@isabellasaund @socprogress @CSIsocialimpact Why measure #socialprogress? We live in a country that prioritises economic growth and #GDP over pretty much everything else. The logic goes that if economic progress increases, so should social progress.
@isabellasaund @socprogress @CSIsocialimpact But we know that's not the case - we know that the mining boom, while contributing to 28 years of unprecedented economic growth, has also had ongoing impacts on communities and the environment where mining companies have now left.

'Absolute gold dust': Veterans helping #bushfire victims rebuild their lives. #abc730 @AngeDonnellan abc.net.au/news/2020-02-2…
@AngeDonnellan The recovery effort from the summer’s #bushfires is likely to take years, and the Army Reserve is playing a big role in the clean-up and rebuild. @TeamRubiconAus has also launched into action, a volunteer organisation made up mostly of veterans. #abc730
@AngeDonnellan @TeamRubiconAus “It’s had an incredible toll on me. I think physically, I’m just exhausted. I’m so fatigued it’s starting to affect me cognitively now and emotionally it’s just torn my heart out.” - Adam Weinert, former soldier who lost everything in the Adelaide Hills bushfires #abc730

The scientific evidence connecting climate change to this year’s fires is straightforward. #AustralianBushfiresDisaster reuters.com/article/us-cli…
#Bushfires are a natural part of the Australian landscape, but according to @BOM_au “there has been a long-term increase in extreme fire weather, and in the length of the fire season, across large parts of Australia”.
The “fire weather” – hot, dry, windy conditions that bolster fires – the country is experiencing this season is especially intense.

Approx. 2/3 of gorgeous #KangarooIsland in #SouthAustralia has been devastated after two weeks of #bushfires. Blustery weather is creating difficult conditions. w. 22 firefighters injured to date. Look at this 👇👇👇!
The before and after photos emerging from #kangarooislandfire are horrifying. Let's start big picture with @NASA's aerial shots of Australia's third biggest island on Dec 16 (left) and then Jan 7 (right).
@NASA @ScheuerJo @SameeraSavarala @martinfredras @AlanaCraigen @luckytran @BecSusanGill @GretaThunberg @MikeHudema @EricHolthaus @ap4ca This is an ecological tragedy for #Australia. #KangarooIsland is renowned for its nature reserves and vast numbers of wildlife including sea lions, koalas and many endangered bird species. @nzherald posted the photo below from #FlindersChaseNationalPark.

1/5
◾ Delivering 10 pallets of water and 640 food packs to #Mallacoota.
◾ Coordinating 600-800 food hampers, along with water pallets, hygiene items and pet supplies for rapid distribution from East Sale.

◾ Distributing satellite phones to communities cut off in East #Gippsland.
◾ Deploying six additional trained personnel to support the 14 already on the ground in Mallacoota.
◾ Providing psychological first aid, registration services and telephone wellbeing checks.

Did Scott Morrison & @LiberalAus illegally use images of uniformed Australian Defence Forces in a party political ad?
I have only been able to find ADF rules about ADF members, but indications are that I am on the right track.
See 5.5-5.11
defence.gov.au/PayAndConditio…
#bushfires
@LiberalAus Was it illegal for @ScottMorrisonMP & @LiberalAus to use the ADF for political campaign purposes?
I think so. Please see above tweet.
That ad was not an Aus govt announcement but a campaign ad authorised by #ScottyFomMarketing .
#AustraliaBurning
@LiberalAus @ScottMorrisonMP I remember some years ago, a politician was in big trouble for a campaign ad that included a person in ADF uniform. #Auspol, can you help here?

We’re putting more Defence Force boots on the ground, more planes in the sky, more ships to sea, and more trucks to roll in to support the bushfire fighting effort and recovery as part of our co-ordinated response to these terrible #bushfires
It is a legal requirement in Australia to include an authorisation on all video messages used on social media by Australian MPs. The video message simply communicates the Government’s policy decisions and the actions the Government is undertaking to the public.
The same practice is rightly employed by the Leader of the Opposition and the Labor Party. This is required and standard practice in Australia.

Heavy-hearted, I checked the German-speaking news again.
They are slamming how @ScottMorrisonMP is handling the situation & climate policies.
These are very clear words

#Pressebericht #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #bushfires
@ScottMorrisonMP Spiegel

- Fireworks despite bushfires
- PM misjudging the seriousness of situation
- fireworks a perfidious signal
- in Sydney celebrate as if 'it was nothing'
@ScottMorrisonMP taz (Tageszeitung, Berlin)

- birds falling out of the sky
- growing resentment against PM in the population
- people traumatised, stunned
- nothing but patriotic platitudes from PM
