Experiencing the #Birrarung #Yarra by bike this morning. And what a morning for it. Thanks Regen Projects and all the #SB2030 crew for the time together to talk about a swimmable Birrarung.

Out today at Dight’s Falls collecting stories about the many people who care for the #Yarra #Birrarung. A bit of rain has fallen in the catchment…as you can see. Good for the river and good for the slalom kayakers

#BREAKING: KinglakeForest and EEG are celebrating a win in court today, with VicForests losing their appeal of the glider case. This landmark win upholds protection for Gliders and forests, maintaining the ruling that VicForests have logged unlawfully. #StrongAlliance

A new report from the U.S. Geological Survey has found that at least 45% of tap water in the country contains PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances. ecowatch.com/drinking-water…

Snow Gums won't be axed for 'better view'! We united w/ Macedon Ranges Shire Council locals & nature groups to push back on a plan to remove the Memorial Cross Snow Gums. Last night the Shire rejected a permit to clear native vegetation! These Woodland giants are safe. Image: Tanya Loos

Thames Water's rated the worst by the Environment Agency. The most serious pollution incidents (highest since 2013). It also had the lowest percentage of sewer overflow monitors, just 62%. It was the 2nd worst at reporting its own pollution incidents. gov.uk/government/pub… 1/3

There is no climate cliff. There is no magic amount of warming beyond which we are all f-ed. There is only an escalating series of consequences, which we and our descendants must endure. Climate targets don't avoid pain, they are about choosing a tolerable level of pain.

If you look at this and think it’s just about Europe, think again. Extreme heat is coming for is too. The impacts on people and nature, including our waterways, will be brutal.

Why do we keep putting the Yarra, Birrarung at risk? This time it’s hundreds of drones with polluting batteries in the river thanks to a light show gone terribly wrong. ⁦Melbourne Water⁩ ⁦Environmental Justice Australia⁩ ⁦Environment Protection Authority Victoria⁩ ⁦City of Melbourne⁩ theage.com.au/national/victo…

The temperature in China hit 126 degrees F today (52.2 C.) That beats the old record by an almost inconceivable 3 F. The world is on fire.
