Bushfire survivors will use burnt debris to create a"trail of destruction" from Parliament House to the Canberra offices of a mining lobby group.
They will also deliver the Minerals Council of Australia a $1.3 billion invoice on Tuesday, based off one estimated cost of the bushfire crisis. Environmental activists are using the stunt to urge businesses and politicians to cut ties with mining lobbyists.He believes the coal lobby is holding back action on climate change.Ms Manne argued the prime minister's"utter failure" to respond made sense, given his chief of staff had come from the Minerals Council.
A woman who lost her home in the NSW bushfires made a similar protest outside parliament in December, spreading the charred remains out across the front of the building.
northway_debbie I'd have given the Mining Council an invoice for about $29b, to match the subsidies fossils fuels receive every year.

AdamBandt Mining produces the iron ore for steel to make wind turbines, the silica to make PV panels, the copper to make wires which transmit renewable power, the lithium or cobalt to make batteries in EVs, but sure. Let’s blame mining

Meet the tower watchers — the first line of defence against bushfireWhile satellites with high-powered cameras and thermal devices are making life easier to see fires from space, the quickest way to detect fires is a lot closer to Earth. The fire towers around where I grew up had nothing as fancy as these ones do today. A map, a chair if you were lucky, and a siren. BYO binoculars. Oh, and a lock on the trap door so don't climb up before you check you have the key. EdanCockerell I used to do this as an employee for a contractor for HQP. Sitting in a 30m wooden tower on days when there's 50km/hr + winds is not fun 😂

'Double whammy': coronavirus and bushfires put Australian businesses at risk of collapseAustralian tourism operators in the Victorian coastal town of Lakes Entrance say the government’s ban on travellers has exacerbated the impact bushfires have had, leaving many struggling to make ends meet. Pandemics are one thing. Every precaution is essential. Bushfires another ...but the warmer, drier conditions you'd expect from an extra degree of global heat are also something we can control. The lifestyles of many of us in the wealthier parts of the world *do* have to change. So what? You'd prefer no precautions were taken? Some interesting maths... 1.4M Chinese tourists annually (I have read) 3,800 per day Say each spends $2,000 per visit locally $7.6M per day in lost national income...$53M per week, $231M per month, $2.7B over a year. Is a total ban on Chinese tourists worth it?
