EndemicEarthling<p>This week, the freshly re-elected <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Albanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Albanese</span></a> Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Woodside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woodside</span></a> (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/CarbonBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonBomb</span></a> that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.</p><p>Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.</p><p>/web/20250529055300/<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/28/approval-of-woodside-lng-project-gambles-with-ancient-heritage-for-short-term-gain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/australia-news</span><span class="invisible">/2025/may/28/approval-of-woodside-lng-project-gambles-with-ancient-heritage-for-short-term-gain</span></a></p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Auspol</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FossilFuelIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuelIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DirtyEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DirtyEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DirtyEnergyDirtyPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DirtyEnergyDirtyPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FossilGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilGas</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Murujuga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Murujuga</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/BurrupHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BurrupHub</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/NorthWestShelf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthWestShelf</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Woodside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woodside</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/ALP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ALP</span></a> 2/2</p>
