This week - nuclear and climate news
As nations sign up at present, at United Nations, to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the Treaty is due to come into force later, when 50 signed members have ratified it. 122 countries out of the 193 UN member nations approved the draft treaty in July.
The nuclear weapons nations and their associates oppose the treaty, giving various important strategic sounding reasons. But when this UN treaty comes into force, joining the previous treaties that make other forms of mass destruction illegal, the governments with nuclear weapons will no longer be able to claim the moral high ground. Their stand will sound hollow, against the growing global consensus that the possessing, threatening, using of nuclear weapons is inhumane and immoral.
Equally importantly, at the UN General Assembly, the urgency of the need to address climate change, is being discussed.
AUSTRALIA
NUCLEAR
Why Australia Should Sign The UN Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty Now. An Australian to be proud of - Dr Tilman Ruff.- -Australia follows nuclear weapons powers in boycotting UN treaty outlawing nuclear weapons. -Best selling author Junko Morimoto called on Turnbull to sign nuclear weapons ban treaty. Most Labor MPs have pledged to get Australia to sign and ratify the UN nuclear weapon ban treaty.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says there is no economic case for nuclear power.
Nuclear lobby bringing top USA nuclear spruiker Michael Shellenberger to Australia.-
Australia VERY QUIETLY signs up to help develop new nuclear reactors
Nominations sought for Kimba Consultative Committee on National Radioactive Waste Dump.
Rural South Australia could end up with the curse of stranded nuclear wastes.
CLIMATE.
Liberal Coalition MPs giggle, cackle, smirk and laugh in Parliament over climate change
BHP supports climate change action - is at odds with Minerals Council.
In Southern Australia, winters are becoming drier.
A mathematician warns - Coalition’s pro-coal policy likely to be a vote loser
-Abbot Point spill further proof Adani can't be trusted on coal, green groups say. Anti Adani coal project- action is seriously hotting up in Queensland. Anti-Adani protesters arrested outside Abbot Point coal terminal near Bowen. A kind of censorship: Melbourne's Federation Square restricts anti Adani protest.
Liberal National Party member would consider taxpayer funding moved from renewables to private coal-fired power station.
Renowned author Tim Winton on how Malcolm Turnbull betrayed our oceans.
ENERGY Australians won over by cheapness and reliability of solar batteries, poll shows. Australia’s top 10 solar postcodes, and the top solar locations by state . Coal country backs renewable energy - poll. For remewable energy news - http://reneweconomy.com.au/
Northern Territory may be close to getting a lithium mine.
This is just my impression - I have done no real research. But - it seems to me that the most strident anti-gay voices in Australia are the same people as the strident climate denialers, and pro nukers.
