Climate change isn't political. It's not a left vs right thing.
That 3-4 degree increase isn't going to selectively not flood your house because you're a fascist now is it.

Any WPL shareholders in here, the last divvy cheque was a beauty!
It's green washing. They want to expand further into pristine marine environments. Marine, gettit? Sponsor a football club and distract the locals from what they are doing. They wouldn't do it if it cost them money. Fat chance of any meaningful number of actual real-life supporters caring about it.
3-4 degree? How long until that is meant to happen?

Somewhere between 2030-2050
If you want to be woke - get Twiggy to sponsor the club..
Oh, hang about he digs up the earth and sends it all to China - even though he is moving to a ‘carbon neutral’ mining????
No win situation

Existential? Have you got a link to the study that shows that?
I have read a lot of long range reports and non go close to that even without further intervention. Have you got a link? I am heavily invested in a couple of start ups in the space.
Our Aussie wool should be used in more clothing!

No one really knows. None of the studies can properly account for all the various tipping points and their knock-on effects but I found these couple of articles interesting.
The state of the energy transition
Bill Gates shares thoughts on the state of the world’s progress in the effort to reach net-zero carbon emissions and avoid a climate disaster.
A Degree of Concern: Why Global Temperatures Matter – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
In Part 1 of our feature, we examined some of the many reasons why Earth’s natural and human systems are sensitive to a warming climate. In Part 2, we’ll highlight some of the specific ways the IPCC Special Report projects our planet may change with another half-degree or full degree Celsius of...
I'm also investing in a few of these areas myself. My money's mostly on carbon neutral cement.

Merino wool products cost an absolute fortune outside of Aus. Definitely seen as a premium over here.

Bloody hipsters running society these days
There's some absolute rubbish in here.
The usual "if you drive a car or a plastic bag you better not advocate against oil and gas". Its just gaslighting individuals and suggests a persons 5 ton per year impact is just as important as a companies 80 million tons per year impact . A person can advocate for change in society and government regulation without having to exclude themselves from society until its changed.
This is just about trying to make sure we form our opinion on woodside based on what it does as a business. Not because they've sponsored your social event, your football club or visited your kids school with Gary the gas molecule.

I hope we cut all ties with betting agencies, before Woodside
I completely agree. You are talking about a major sponsor who has been exceptionally loyal to the club over the years too. Cancelling all gambling advertising would do much more to help the community than cancelling an oil and gas company currently too. I've got family in England. The energy crisis there is due to issues with RE and is staggering. Currently and for the forceable future the world needs fossil fuels to produce the energy to power the transition to RE all over the world. Companies like Woodside will make huge profits while we are transitioning with or without sponsoring sporting teams.

People should have their own house in order before trying to banish Woodside
Actually I'm sick to death of people saying things like you've just said. The main reason why so many issues are unresolved in society is because of the very view that it's ok for people to advocate for a change while doing nothing themselves to actually help create the changes they are advocating for.
Its a fact. The world desperately needs more energy to transition and currently the world needs oil and gas companies or that transition won't happen.
Meanwhile I know of two people who have committed suicide as a result of gambling but go get outraged at a company that if it did fold currently would in reality result in slowing down the transition towards higher use of RE.
It's gotten to a ludicrous level of saturation on the TV broadcast.
"I think that generally people have things that are more within their personal purview that are difficult to deal with, and that they're avoiding, and generally the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues so they look good to their friends and their neighbours.”
What about when the vegans stop us using leather balls and boots? What about fertilisers?
I guess we won’t be playing under lights again, or enjoying the special lighting show..

No. Even climate scientists have that prediction more in line with 2100.

I don't get it... How does Woodside sponsorship of a footy team materially affect climate change?
If punters want to make a difference go plant a tree, ride your bike to work, turn more lights off, get solar panels, get an electric car, don't waste food, don't be materialistic.
BTW most large coporates have a significant budget to invest in community as part of their social licence, which I would imagine is why they sponsor the dockers... Personally I think they have been a good sponsor.
As an example I'm really proud of dockers strong indigenous history and Woodside helped to establish and implement their reconciliation plan.
Easy to use a broad brush is all I'm saying...

Depends on two things.
What you think an orderly house is for an individual. Are they expected to create their own energy system
And then how orderly you perceive woodsides current state to be.
Would honestly like to know why you think they're doing a great job.
Especially the scratchy stuff
