In his heyday few could hold a candle to John Spooner - his intelligence, insight, economic literacy, wit, his exquisite draughtsmanship: many of his @theage cartoons are classics. I don’t know what’s happened to him.

In response to Mahathir's statement yesterday that "no formal complaint had been lodged" against Taib Mahmud, Baram PKR Chairman Roland Engan asserted that a report was lodged at #MACC in Miri on June 6.

@markets4change is disbanding due to pressures of maintaining a small NGO. Since 2011 we've been on the front line of markets campaigning. We've fought for forests & the people & communities that depend on them in Australia & internationally Farewell msg: bit.ly/2KhTF34

Yes, this claim that emissions are down 43% only works when emissions from burning forest biomass are not counted, which is the case under current carbon accounting. The emissions are real and seen by the atmosphere but appear in the books as zero. Creative accounting - beware! x.com/MaryPFPI/status/101247…

And a decent percentage of "ditching coal" was, replacing coal with burning WOOD pellets sourced from North American forests and *just not counting the emissions*. #biomass is a giant green scam.

Bitterly disappointing. Continued rebuff to indigenous land rights from a system that refuses to acknowledge traditional lifestyles x.com/sarawak_report/status/…

The Cascade Brewery declines its land for a kunanyi/Mt Wellington cable car as it "will clearly change the mountain", adding that the company should not be making such a "momentous decision" ab.co/2lBlHI0

Shonky carbon accounting ignores emissions of burning forest biomass - as if it was zero. Actually as emissive as burning coal x.com/kenneth_richter/status…

Chatham House @CH_EERD : UK makes >8 million tonnes of CO2 "disappear" every year by importing and burning biomass from non-Kyoto countries. "These emissions will not be accounted for against any country’s greenhouse gas emission targets" chathamhouse.org/publication… (and yes, = Drax)

Sarawak Report have previously highlighted similar cases of gangsterism in Sarawak, including the brutal murder of land rights activist Bill Kayong and violent attacks against Iban natives Surik Anak Muntai and Minggat Anak Nyakin for defending their land dayakdaily.com/suaram-planta…

Fundamental disregard for science: EU passes new 2030 framework ensuring bioenergy will stay biggest source of renewable energy, with virtually no safeguards eubioenergy.com/2018/06/14/a…, while the alliance of science academies of all member states warns this is likely to increase GHG x.com/EASACnews/status/10086…

We see this phenomenon with 'just burning forest residues' for energy too. It actually creates a big income stream, enabling clearcutting devastation. We need to stop such logging, address waste by not creating it, and move BEYOND BURNING to end ghg emissions x.com/GAIAnoburn/status/1008…
Waste incineration gives polluting companies a 'get out of jail free' card. We need to stop waste, not burn it. ow.ly/GFdw30kwwRs #G7

Has Courier Mail stopped using newsprint from a Korindo subsidiary yet? Korindo illegally cleared rainforest in West Papua. As we told the Courier Mail, companies like them should source only responsible product from responsible companies x.com/QldGreens/status/10074…

Good to see the Courier Mail keeping it low key about the Greens as usual 👀 Hands up if you're a tofu tyrant 🙋♀️ 🙋♂️

EU's new rules fail to ensure “renewable energy” has a positive effect on climate & doesn’t harm wildlife. By continuing to support unsustainable #biomass the RED will ultimately make it harder, not easier, to meet Europe’s climate commitments

EU has agreed very poor #biomass standards. High levels of emissive forest biomass greenwashed as 'renewable' at 46% of the renewable energy. Encourages conversion from coal to biomass burning instead of moving beyond burning

EU conveniently ignores that burning trees is just as emissive as burning coal x.com/1alexmason/status/1007…
14 Jun 2018
The EU has just agreed new #biomass rules that spell disaster for the #climate and global #forests. It's effectively given #coal plants across the continent the green light to burn trees instead. This is a disgraceful decision that will increase emissions. I predict a U-turn.
