Some personal news: I'm leaving @smh and @theage. My work relied so much on the help of many champions for the environment. Once my next steps become clear, I'll let you know. Meanwhile, a handful of favorite articles, starting with this early one: smh.com.au/environment/we…
CSIRO tried to swing the axe through the climate research hub 'because the science was settled'. Brave whistleblowers would help to turn the tide on what was an unwise and short-sighted (and mostly short-lived) plan:

There's a reason why almost 90% of NSW remains in 'recovering from drought' or 'in drought'. In fact, most of Australia was drier than usual in June. @BOM_au
Timeframes matter, though. Here's the past six months, which helps explain why much of eastern Australia has a green sheen of late: @BOM_au
But over a three-year period, you can see why the 'rainfall deficit' part of the drought is still far from being clawed back: @BOM_au
