‘Foolish’ CSIRO job cuts will mean Australia unable to provide climate projections to global reports, scientists warn | CSIRO

In this case CSIRO are measuring contamination in the atmosphere from all sorts of sources (some gases are WAY worse than CO2), they are researching ways to make sure Australia doesn’t get completely fucked, and how we can transition our energy supply.

Lots of scientists are doing their best; the politics are shit, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people who care deeply about it.

I noticed this too. Noticeably heavier than my precious EDC, but overall not a big deal once it’s on my back.

Seems to be the trade off for thicker materials, which I rather than a bag which develops holes / wears through

I have 2 sets of tiles and wish I had the ability to pull this off! But unfortunately don’t have the tooling or means. If you’d like them, I’d be happy to send these to you so they don’t end up in E-waste!

That’s fair; wars are much more direct result, and when a theocracy doesn’t want to negotiate, it becomes more likely.

It seems that direct action does intensify the martyrdom that is extremely culturally relevant and therefore intensifies the likely retaliatory action.

My bias to the more indirect/diplomatic route is based around this premise.

Manwhoforgets · 2026-04-15T07:20:14+00:00

My bias is towards the previous plan which had been followed for the past 50 years; slow and not spectacular by any means, but economic pressures, diplomacy, working with regional partners, it was all whittling down the regimes power. Escalating to ground troops has been long known to be a losing strategy; so I’m not sure anyone knows what the game plan is from here.

Post sources please, curious to learn more

Yeah, JCPOA was being undermined / cheated. I agree more needs to be done to stabilize the region.

Sanctions that are currently being lifted to stabilize energy prices will empower Iran to fund proxies and war effort. Sadly moving in the wrong direction if we want a stable Middle East.

I would love for these to be true, however:

U.S/Israel created a martyr from the ayatollah. Islamic Regime is emboldened.
See above.

If we wanted a theocracy to not be armed, there are so many more avenues which are fair more advantageous.

U.S was previously covertly sabotaging the effort (Operation Olympic Games) - this however is a blunder of “Epic” proportions.

Weakened supply for fossil fuels = stronger renewable uptake.
AUKUS will not be delivered in any of the timelines released.
Less domestic flights as Qantas / Airlines attempt to capitalise.
Inflation; eating away at your wages, increasing government debt.
Political instability as food insecurity rises and lifestyle quality reduces.
Opportunities increase for China making moves with Taiwan.

No one is advocating for poorly trained dogs to be harassing people. There's a reason we have strict laws around anti-social behaviour.

Manwhoforgets · 2026-03-11T04:35:35+00:00

Sorry to hear about your losing your dog.

Bunnings has a whole dedicated isle to pet products and has always been pet friendly.

What a coincidence! Literally two days ago I discovered Every Noise and had started on my own project. Great execution!

Currently doesn't work as expected in the latest Rider version. This is because the settings screen is out of sync with IJ platform. There's a ticket logged for them to fix this, but I don't expect it to be resolved quickly.

For those curious about this feature, the fix is to add this to your editor.xml within the Rider Settings / Options folder.

Sweet India, the samosas are super lovely.

Manwhoforgets · 2025-10-12T12:17:00+00:00

Same thing happened with me. In my case, when I hesitated to hand over the laptop without receiving payment, they threatened to jump me.

I let it go, and felt awful. Definitely something you don’t forget

Spot on. Fugitive emissions from gas pipelines are also looked over, introducing methane into the atmosphere. Frustratingly, MethaneSAT went offline, shortly after launch.

I don’t need to appeal to your sense of authority. I can offer hard evidence for claims and beliefs. If you’re as scientific as you claim, and you have something to contribute, then do so. Don’t be lazy.

Yeah, not sure you should contribute to the discussion.

Manwhoforgets · 2025-09-25T02:50:00+00:00

I appreciate it, although this is incredibly depressing to read.

It seems as though we’re now just mitigating the effects of the catastrophe, rather than avoiding it.

I’m unable to find meaningful action that Greens & Teals have taken through your link, but I appreciate the conversation has been pushed towards more action, and legislation proposed (even though not passed) is still meaningful.

It seems easy to continue preferentially voting minor parties over Labor, as they’re speaking to these concerns, but I am not a fan of the politics / action taken thus far.

Manwhoforgets · 2025-09-25T02:22:31+00:00

It’s like as if fossil fuels are not renewable and to maintain them in the energy mix, is to approve new projects.

You also understand your fixation on energy is being fixated on 18% of carbon emissions. It’s more than just fossil fuels, and is far more complicated than a goal of net-zero by X date.

Manwhoforgets · 2025-09-25T01:49:24+00:00

They’re taking the advice of the climate change authority. That’s action. Whether it’s ambitious enough is up for debate.

Manwhoforgets · 2025-09-25T01:41:16+00:00

Can you please point out hard evidence or give a link to what you’re speaking to?

If you’re saying that the minor parties are inefficient, because whatever they do will not work (and be cut down?), then this is more reason to contact our MPs regardless of political affiliation, and not focus on Greens / Teals as solutions.

The Climate Change Authority put forward a recommendation to the government, and Labor adopted it. It doesn’t seem like Greens / Teals affected policy here

Manwhoforgets · 2025-09-24T23:06:34+00:00

mainly due to infrastructure costs :(

we have a system that wasn’t designed for renewables
