BellingenNSW<p>Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred sparks call to cyclone-proof homes as far south as northern NSW</p><p>"The research is really clear that cyclones and severe weather events are coming south along the Queensland and Australian coastline, and that our severe weather events will become more severe... Professor Steve Turton, a climate change expert with Central Queensland University, said homes and buildings outside traditional cyclone zones should now be subject to cyclone ratings, including in south-east Queensland and even northern New South Wales. I would suggest it needs to go down to at least Coffs Harbour." >><br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-23/ex-tropical-cyclone-alfred-weather-preparation-storm-resilience/105074460" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-03-23/ex-</span><span class="invisible">tropical-cyclone-alfred-weather-preparation-storm-resilience/105074460</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/plasterboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plasterboard</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>housing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cyclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cyclone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infrastructure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NSW</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/storms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>storms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/floods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floods</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/disaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disaster</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CoffsHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CoffsHarbour</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MidNorthCoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MidNorthCoast</span></a></p>

BellingenNSW<p>Modern forestry techniques are destroying biodiversity, poisoning communities and compounding the climate crisis</p><p>"Perversely, the use of glyphosate and other herbicides is ensured by industrial monoculture plantations around the world. Under the pretext of climate change mitigation schemes, millions of trees are planted. The plantations do provide raw materials for biofuels and act as powerful carbon sinks. But when a natural forest is converted to a plantation, a natural ecosystem is destroyed. Biodiversity is lost and organic matter and nutrient levels are depleted. In a bid to manage reduced soil fertility, forestry planners use artificial fertilizers and herbicides. Each year, 10 million hectares of natural forest are lost to monoculture plantations. The policy is not addressing climate change. It’s compounding it."</p><p>"A 2019 study showed that 80 percent of First Nations communities in Canada are located in fire-prone regions that are often isolated.
