"When states abdicate the work of sustaining populations, they leave a void—not only in material provision but in meaning. ... This is where fascism comes in: capitalism can and often does destroy value, but fascism alone knows how to endow this uneconomic dimension with meaning."

#CCS ist eine Risikotechnik - hallo Bundesregierung

And last year it was announced that BP was abandoning its plans in Indian in part because of safety concerns regarding the potential for CO2 leaks.

#CCS house of cards is tumbling - the foundational scientific “ evidence” that it was a working technology just blown with the wind

British Petroleum sagt es laut : #CCS nur für intensivere Erdölausbeute. Aber wer will es hören ? #bmwe

BP not only funded the research behind the influential “Wedges” climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point.

This is the most jaw-dropping part of Princeton/BP/Wedges paper scandal: that the scientists funded by BP said outright that their job "was to invent a future where the fossil fuel industries have not disappeared yet climate change is being forcefully addressed, and this is still our job." 1/3

Sadly, Germany has - after years of massive fossil lobbying - started to go down the slippery slope of funding and favoring CCS and BECCS illusions while waiving fossil fuels through.

CCS in a nutshell #x

Das #BMWE arbeitet hart daran zig Milliarden Euro in #CCS Nonsens-Projekte zu versenken. Besser mal 1 Blick auf diese Grafik

Habt ihr schon die phénoménale recherche von @propublica.org gelesen wie es dazu kaum dass CCS als (falsche) Klimalösung aufs Parkett geschoben wurde und seither Milliarden schwer von Politik u Konzernen propagiert wird?

Die Entdeckung dass grundlegende Studie die CCS salonfähig machte von der Ölindustrie quasi mitgeschrieben wurde - schlägt weiter Wellen 😎

Wir sind im Bündnis saubere Luft dabei, weil Umweltschutz und Gesundheitsschutz hier Hand in Hand gehen. Lass uns unsere Städte jetzt umgestalten, mit mehr grün, mit weniger Emissionen aus dem Verkehr.

Just to give an idea of how insanely useless carbon capture/direct air capture are: Before accounting for CO2 added back to the air from CC/DAC energy/pipes needs and enhanced oil recovery, all 77 capture facilities in the world capture 64 mil tonnes-CO2/y globalccsinstitute.com/global-statu...

Neue Forschung: Auch mit Seegras-Geo-Engineering lassen sich fossile Emissionen nicht „kompensieren“. Was könnte man denn noch gegen diese klimaschädlichen Abgase tun? 🤔

New on the blog: How not to use "AI" (workshop) ideophone.org/how-not-to-u... > In a time when it seems impossible to escape talk of the endless “opportunities” and “possibilities” of using “AI”, in this workshop we take a step back and think about how NOT to use it.

UN-Sonderberichterstatterin Irene Khan schlägt Alarm. Sie sieht Deutschland in Sachen #Meinungsfreiheit am Scheideweg. Ihren Bericht hat sie im Menschenrechtsrat vorgestellt. Ich hatte Gelegenheit, dazu Stellung zu nehmen. Verletzungen der Meinungsfreiheit haben massiv zugenommen... 1/5

Honestly, this is so soul-crushing. But amazing work by @amywestervelt.bsky.social & @themadstone.bsky.social

🌊 How can the #EUOceanAct set a new course for ocean protection in Europe? This landmark legislative proposal is a major opportunity to address the drivers of ocean decline by confronting the fossil economy. ➡️ Our new paper outlines what that requires: bit.ly/4vCMEvP

This was obviously set up because people were objecting to tech information gathering bot being added to meetings so now they're just doing it deceptively and surreptitiously instead

Germany, hotbed of AI accelerationism. We're hoping to leapfrog the digital democracy phase – straight from fax-based government to rule by AGI.

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

Une enquête de « Mediapart » et de l’EIC révèle que Northern Lights, le projet du géant français du pétrole censé réduire les émissions des industriels européens les plus polluants, est très loin d’avoir atteint ses objectifs. Malgré des milliards d’euros de subventions publiques.

Wenn ihr wisst, wie sehr die Netto-Null-Klimaszenarien von *extrem optimistischen Annahmen* bezüglich der Entwicklung von CCS abhängen, geht euch bei der Lektüre dieses Artikels der Arsch auf Grundeis

Die Politik müsse mehr in die Netze investieren, Strom verbilligen, CO₂-Differenzverträge und andere Unterstützungsmaßnahmen wie Auktionen für die Elektrifizierung von Prozesswärme umsetzen und Genehmigungsverfahren beschleunigen. 7/7

Imagine you're the guy who created Wordle for you and your partner to play, you sell the game to a newspaper after it gets popular, and the next thing you know they're using your little game to advertise for oil & gas as the world burns

In any fast-growing and high-polluting industry, you get these tiny and unscaleable "demonstration" projects popping up. The purpose is to have something to point to as a techno-solution (something 'real'), but one that companies would never actually pay for (because they like money)

Germany remained the world's largest exporter of plastic waste in 2025, despite efforts to reduce global waste dumping. Reporting by The Guardian raises questions about the environmental burdens shifted onto lower income countries. 🔗 Read more: https://ow.ly/wFGk50Z8PCF

I have resigned from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Independent Standards Board. The Protocol is openly violating its own rules and has effectively delegated forest carbon accounting standards to a secret, industry-led working group. ghgpolicy.org/s/2026-06-08...

That was all bad enough, but now it appears that the Protocol has effectively delegated the forest carbon accounting rules to a secret, industry-led drafting process. There is nothing more I can do but resign. So I did.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... #Biofuels are harm the environment as they increase demand for ag products and hence pressure on land. They are socially irresponsible as they further tie food and energy prices, drivîh hunger up. And economically pointless- their cost rises in tandem with oil

The $18 billion spent on subsidies for solar manufacturing by China since 2000 is half of what the US has spent on subsidies for oil every year since 2000. There is no starker illustration of how badly US industrial & energy policy has been bungled. #EnergySky #ClimateSky #GreenSky #EconSky

"Global data centers used 448 trillion watt-hours of electricity, more than all but 10 countries of the world...That electricity use produced about 208 million tons of carbon dioxide, about the same amount as Argentina, and producing that much energy consumed about 1.2 trillion gallons of water."
