“Over the years I noticed that the #resource development corporations were getting closer to First Nation organizations. There was concern by some #FirstNation people that making money was taking over as a priority and the traditional and cultural role of protecting the land and creatures, water and air seemed to be secondary.”
Windspeaker.comSupport First Nation youth movements protecting the landBy Xavier KataquapitFor almost three decades I have been writing a column and producing writing mostly involving First Nations. At the start I felt more like an activist, as did many of our leaders. We had been through more than a hundred years of colonization, residential school atrocities, reservations and living in poverty with insufficient housing, poor health care and little support for education.

Remember the #Adani Carmichael coal mine and all the controversy that went with it? Remember how it was going to fund schools and hospitals with all the tax it was going to pay?
Well, it has been operating for 3 years and has paid no company #tax and is unlikely to ever pay any.
In the year ending 30 March 2025, it made $1.3 billion in #revenue but reported a loss. This was in large part because of annual payments to related parties for interest, lease expenses, as well as paying for services conducted by other Adani entitles.
#Resource projects love to spruik all the economic benefits before they get approval. But there is nothing holding them to delivering those benefits.
#LNP Senator Matt Canavan, one of the mine’s biggest proponents, is in the news today with claims about the high cost of net zero. Maybe the media should be asking him when Adani is going to start paying all that tax.
This mine is bad for the #environment. It has now become clear that it is bad for government budgets and ultimately bad for the people of #Queensland
Utter madness, destroying the Forest Service. The regional offices maintain close and coordinated relations with State #natural #resource agencies and with #Tribes. The Regions are critical components of national and state wildland #fire programs and response.The Regions maintain close relations with forestry and natural resources research entities at the Land Grant universities. All of this is critical infrastructure.

I'm preparing a talk on resources for French civil servants (now they will have to attend one presentation on #climate, one on #biodiversity, and one on resources as part of a mandatory continuing education) and I thought I would share the images I'll be using here, as I find some of them are quite nice.
So see below for some impressive visualizations on our #resource #consumption.

I really like the Information is Beautiful infographic on fallacies. They have a comprehensive list complete with a unique icon for each, a description of the fallacy, and an example of the same.
The version I'm linking to also has a drop-down menu for these to be rendered in many languages other than English.
