Approval of biggest coal project in NSW planning commission’s history described as ‘infamous betrayal’ "The New South Wales independent planner has approved the biggest coalmine project to ever go before it, allowing mining to continue until 2045 at a Hunter Valley project described by climate groups as a “carbon bomb”. On Wednesday, the commission said the greenhouse gas emissions from the mine, near Singleton, would “contribute to climate change impacts on the people, economy and environment of the Hunter region, NSW and globally”. The Climate Council had described the project as a “climate bomb that would supercharge climate disasters”. One of its councillors – the former NSW Fire and Rescue commissioner Greg Mullins – on Wednesday raised concerns over overseas emissions from the coal. “What NSW exports as coal, we import back as bushfires, floods, heatwaves and droughts,” Mullins said. “Climate harm does not stop at the border, and neither does the responsibility for it.”" Once again the corrupt Labor party showing they couldn't give a sh!t about Australians, only Lobbyist Dollars, no matter the cost to environment, peoples health, or even the survival of the Human race.. Just short-term money money money!! https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/sep/30/hunter-valley-coal-project-singleton-ipc-planning-decision #LaborFail #EnvironmentalTerrorism #ClimateChange #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #News #Australia #Environment #LobbyInfluence

"Agreement to transition away from fossil fuels ‘not open for renegotiation’, Pacific leader tells pre-Cop" I bet Mr 'Fossil-Fuels' Albanese wasn't happy with that.. "Speaking at a “saultalaga” – an exchange of views around a meeting table – at the end of a three-hour visit, a string of leaders argued the world must stand behind a 2023 agreement, made at a UN summit in Dubai, to transition away from fossil fuels. More recently it has faced wavering support, with pushback particularly led by oil-producing nations." And Labor granting NSW's _BIGGEST_ fossil fuel project in history just this past week doesn't help matters.. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/oct/06/agreement-to-transition-away-from-fossil-fuels-not-open-for-renegotiation-pacific-leader-tells-pre-cop There's only one party who aren't in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry, and - love them or hate them - the Greens are Australia's only real hope. #ShamGovernment #LaborFail #FossilFuelLobbyInfluence #News #AUSPol #Environment #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #Activism #Greens

The #HighCourt has found planning authorities are required to consider local #climatechange effects when approving #fossilfuel projects. 3 of the 5 judges found in favour of a Hunter Valley residents' group, which halted the #MountPleasant mine expansion last year in the #NSW Court of Appeal. The High Court agreed & the case is expected to have national implications for the way fossil fuel project approvals take #globalemissions & local climate change impacts into account. #auspol

#USA #US The simple truth is, the climate accountability genie is out of the bottle, and the Supreme Court is unlikely to jam it back in. Even if the court sides with Suncor, attribution science will continue to move forward, filling in the gaps between cause and effect in our understanding of how climate works It is only a matter of time before the courts catch up https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/opinion/oil-companies-supreme-court.html https://archive.ph/weZuu#selection-4447.0-4447.303 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Indonesia The Government of Indonesia has announced that it will stop any further expansion of the Food and Energy Estates project in Papua and will shift all future development for the project for food and crops for bioenergy to degraded lands – a globally significant win for Indonesia’s nature, the climate, and local communities https://mightyearth.org/article/indonesia-announces-end-to-worlds-largest-deforestation-project/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Germany The water level of Lake Constance is particularly dependent on the River Rhine, which has also been grappling with a historic dry spell. Although this international waterway has around 200 tributaries, the Rhine is by far the most significant source of water, accounting for around 62% of the total https://www.aa.com.tr/en/greenline/climate-change/germany-s-largest-lake-drying-up-report-says/1831857 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#healthOutcomes Conclusion Environmental exposures, particularly air pollution and temperature, may influence the outcome of oral health. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and strengthen evidence base https://www.nature.com/articles/s41405-026-00482-5 https://archive.ph/wip/po9DN #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
