An independent analysis by Climate Analytics commissioned by the Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation found that the CSIRO/GISERA report greatly underestimated Beetaloo greenhouse gas emissions. Thomas Houlie from Climate Analytics tells us what they found.https://climateanalytics.org/publications/emissions-impossiblehttps://theconversation.com/the-beetaloo-gas-field-is-a-climate-bomb-how-did-csiro-modelling-make-it-look-otherwise-215711 "Biodiversity on a knife edge": Alpine insect declineThe impact of global heating is hurting invertebrates globally. Dr Kate Umbers, a senior lecturer at Western Sydney University and founding Managing Director of Invertibrates Australia tells us why, and how Australia's invertebrates and alpine insects are being affected.https://theconversation.com/trapped-australias-extraordinary-alpine-insects-are-being-marooned-on-mountaintops-as-the-world-warms-211104https://invertebratesaustralia.org/ Photo:  Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation Members and Directors outside a flaring exploration well on Tanumbrini Cattle Station, courtesy of Thomas Houlie and kindly provided by Original Power and the Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation Earth Matters #1428Produced by Judith Peppard
