Gaslighting …

The Northwest Shelf gas field extension has been approved by the re-elected Labor government. It will increase cultural and environmental damage on land and in the sea and only add to greenhouse emissions….a very poor decision.

Sámi hearders’ LEGAL rights …

Concluding the previous post, it’s the legal obligations to the Sámi people that are being conveniently overlooked. The full report – in Swedish – with all of the illustrations can be seen here.

Sámi hearders’ rights …

Hearders’ rights? The Sámi have been using these migration routes for hundreds of years.

Hydropo’wer development is disrupting the traditional migration routes of the reindeer hearding Sámi people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. These are some of the illustrations created for a report by Katarina Inga, the Stockholm Environment Institute. –

Bombarding the red fire ants

Cartoons from ideas by David Low, Australian Pesticide Reduction Network; highlighting the ‘reckless use of PFAS pesticide Fiprinol in Queensland and NSW ..’ in the fight against the red fire ant outbreak, the widespread use of the herbicide Paraquat, linked to Parkinson’s disease, and more.

Sami ‘development’ …

Illustrations for Professor Ninis Gunhild Rosquist, Stockholm University, Department of Physical Geography:
‘I have collaborated with Sami reindeer herders during the past 10 years with focus on climate impacts and as their adaptation to the effects of climate change is hampered by the cumulative effects of land exploitation it’s a challenge to communicate/illustrate the full impact.’ These two illustrations contrast the present developing situation (above) and the same scene pre-‘development’ and before increasing impacts from climate change (below).

An earlier post on the Sami is here.

Water… water… WHAT water?

Not even half baked …

If he wins the next election opposition party leader Peter Dutton proposes trashing emissions targets and backing nuclear energy to get us to net zero by 2050. No details on costs, waste storage, nor emissions produced while waiting for any nuclear magic bullet to eventually appear … or not.
