The graphs in this thread will come as quite a surprise to many, I'm sure.

The gas industry is laughing at us...

And the SCAM continues! We have the most expensive gas in the world... Yet export the most. You really can't make this stuff up... Because the captured polieshave already rigged the rules in favour of their gas mates and against we the punters! #australia #auspol

The scale of the oil & gas industry's rip off of the WA public is absolutely breathtaking.

How big oil & gas rips Australia off - Episode #9,687

We've combed through WA Budget Papers, out today, and found WA's main revenue from oil and gas has halved and is set to halve again. 🧵

Government says transport will produce more emissions than any other sector by 2030.

But advertising spend on high emission SUVs is growing rapidly putting Australia's emission target at risk.

Time for a fossil car advertising ban?

Some great stuff on how Japan is screwing Aus energy policy in this IEEFA.org report.

Japan buys 30mt LNG from Aus, on-sells same volume:

Last week, climate scientist Bill Hare spoke to a packed town hall in Broome re: the dangers of approving new fossil fuel projects like Woodside Energy's proposed Browse project off the Kimberley coast

His warning if we don't urgently cut emissions⬇️ #NoNewFossilFuels

Causal understanding of water displacement by a Raven

I wonder if the entire media contingent at the APPEA conference in Perth tomorrow will manage to avoid asking Madeliene King about this and just trot out gas industry talking points… surely not!

The only way to transition away from fossil fuels is to stop expanding fossil fuels…no new coal and gas isn’t a slogan, it’s a summary of global climate science.

Great to see LEAN pushing for a science based approach to climate policy

New gas export mega projects are making WA, and everywhere else, hotter, drier and more fire prone.

This isn’t emissions by Western Australians, this is a handful of predominantly foreign owned companies make billions exporting royalty free gas.

Hmm, tough choice for Labor:

1. Keep bending over to bunch of foreign owned, tax dodging rent-seekers who price gouge Australians for our own gas…
Or
2. Act in the interests of the Australian community?

Santos are a danger to themselves and others.

Nuclear fanboys want Aussie businesses and households to have bigger power bills. Fools.

Australian governments are green-lighting some of the biggest new fossil fuel projects in the world, a significant contribution to making parts of Asia unliveable and undermining our own regional security.

I’ve got a better headline:
Environmental Defenders Office cleared of wrong-doing, Santos lawfare exposed, gas industry sooks… as usual.

Fuknuks repeating being Fuknuks. #auspol . How bad is this,?

I hope the journalists at the APPEA gas lobbyist conference in Perth are going to ask Madeleine King about this when she appears on Tuesday, rather than just serving up gas industry talking points.

Won’t hold my breath though.

Japan does not need Australian gas to keep the lights on

Japanese companies sold more than 30 mt to third countries in FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022, peaking at 38mt in FY2021. This is more than Australia’s total LNG exports to Japan over those three years

reneweconomy.com.au/japan-does-not…

Unbelievable.

Japan isn’t just on-selling Australian gas, it’s is on-selling more gas than Australia exports to it.

And the Australian Government is telling the Australian people we need to approve more new climate destroying gas export projects to keep the lights on in
