I think that #energy transformation plans which are disconnected from rapid emissions reduction plans commensurate with what’s required to hold warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will fail for a few reasons. The first is an inability to obtain social licence for the massive build out of #renewables and transmission required. The second is disruption from the physical impacts of #climate change. And the third is the economic risks of being a slower moving jurisdiction on emissions reductions.

The second siting being a dugong does nothing to comfort me about the first siting. Three metre crocodile…. And if there is a croc, i’m interested to know if climate change is the reason it’s this far South. “What a crock: second Stradbroke Island crocodile sighting confirmed as dugong | Queensland | The Guardian”

I’m on a summer break, reading and listening in ways that I wish I usually had more hours in the week to read and listen. Here are two lovely pieces of information I’ve heard/read this week. 1. Birds have relatively bigger hearts than non-flying animals. A big heart is required, in order to fly. (How do birds fly? - ABC Kids Listen)

2. A 2009 study suggests that humans glow at 1000 times lower than the density of what our eyes can detect. (P.8. Phosphorescence - Baird).

Content warning:Consultants always using slide decks. Why is it always a slide deck? Niche rant.

Full disclosure - I am currently, technically, a campaigner. I communicate with slide decks and GSuite live docs, and love hearing from consultants with their impressive slide decks. It’s so different, though. Some days I miss the order (or more orderly disorder) of meticulously labelled and numbered files with version control and email train of various versions and reviews, from legal practice.

Content warning:Consultants always using slide decks. Why is it always a slide deck? Niche rant.

Why do consultants and campaigners only talk in slide decks and live GSuite docs? What’s wrong with a very heavily referenced (pin point references, full hyperlinks, standardised referencing style) footnoted word document with multiple versions, each carefully labelled and filed?

When I was a kid my mum would make us these amazing home-cooked meals like zucchini soup, lasagne, cannelloni. That stuff takes ages to prepare. They are my favourite foods, as an adult. But when I was a kid, every now and then I’d walk to the dinner table and very loudly declare “yuck” to whatever she’d spent the day preparing. Last night my kid said my home made Pizza Napoletana, cooked lovingly and precisely as she usually likes it, was “disgusting”. True circle of life stuff 😂

Coffee stains forever undermining my life goal of being the kind of person who can effortlessly wear a crisp white shirt for a whole day. Seriously how do people do it? I do not believe it is possible. They must carry spares.
