18000 tonnes of CO₂ removal over 10 years is a time machine that takes you back ~1 second every year. TD Bank Group would do a lot more for climate if it stopped investing in fossil fuels.

Accidentalité routière : quels sont les modes impliqués dans les collisions mortelles ? Chaque année, l’ONISR réalise un tableau ⬇️ qui croise les modes de transport impliqués dans les accidents mortels. A dérouler ⤵️

Le bilan 2025 de la sécurité routière démontre une chose : LES PISTES CYCLABLES SONT EFFICACES La pratique cycliste a autant augmenté en ville qu'à la campagne (+5%), mais la mortalité baisse drastiquement en ville (-12%) et augmente fortement à la campagne (+21%) 🚲🚲FAITES DES AMÉNAGEMENTS 🚲🚲

a key fact in this piece most Americans do not realize: your car already has a speed governor in it — it's just set at a super high speed to avoid damaging your engine, not for safety. "Install a speed governor" is literally just changing a setting in your car's computer and that's it.

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

"One of the nation’s largest White supremacist groups is rapidly expanding, adding hundreds of members across 49 states in the past two years." Cool cool cool. Everything's going well.

WA's LNG does not have significant potential to enhance the decarbonisation or energy security of Australia's trading partners, because decarbonisation is driven by renewables. www.accr.org.au/research/sub...

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We illustrated their findings.

The Dutch branch of German discount supermarket Lidl is bringing forward its goal of achieving 100% electric transport by 2030 to 2027. From next year, all stores will receive deliveries exclusively by battery-electric trucks.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group.

A sensitive Defense Department branch responsible for uncovering and defending against terrorism plots has a new appointee: a Jan. 6 rioter who was pardoned President Trump. nyti.ms/43MLamL

The City of Brussels has launched a redevelopment process for the Sablon area, promising a greener, more elegant and more accessible space.

SpaceX’s IPO is taking a hacksaw to corporate governance rules to ensure Elon Musk isn’t just the TechnoKing, but an Emperor free from almost an accountability. It was great to get @okane.fyi’s insight on all it, including not just what it means for SpaceX, but the terrible precedent it sets.

It should be one of the biggest scandals in American history that Donald Trump’s defense attorney is overseeing the Epstein investigation. Instead, most Americans will forget about this by next week, assuming they ever even find out about it.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Surprise to no one : Stellantis, in its pivot towards the US and its big gas-guzzlers trucks and away from historical EU brands line Citroen and Peugeot (movement reinforced by its new CEO), is pressuring the US gov (and probably the EU) to drop safety regulations to import more RAMs, Silverados…

C’est une dinguerie à quel point Auderghem crache à la figure des cyclistes quasiment tous les jours… Comment peut-on tolérer que cette piste faisant partie du réseau structurant bruxellois soit si souvent considérée comme variable d’ajustement par la commune?

L'homme de 21 ans conduisait cette Audi pour la première fois. Il roulait à 60km/h en zone 30, en mode sport, sans avoir consommé ni alcool ni drogue. Il savait donc ce qu'il faisait. Dans deux ans, il sera de retour sur les routes. Circulez, y'a rien à craindre. www.lavoixdunord.fr/1708706/arti...

If only there were alternatives that *hadn't* risen in price by 66%! Alternatives whose price had gone steadily down for decades now & were projected to continue declining for decades to come! Ah well.

I have a small fraction of the followers here that I had on Twitter. Even before Elon, sharing basic information that wasn't clickbait went from 5,000 views to a couple hundred at best for an account with 160K followers. I can get the same numbers of clicks here on BSKY that I could views there.

AI is becoming like “The High Cost of Free Parking” where users externalize all their costs on everyone who abstains.

...and here's the bit from early last year where Trump and Musk cut funding for screwworm control.

By every measure, both historically and currently, both per capita and as a nation, Canada is one of the very worst climate arsonists in the the world. We are the international laggard. We're the ones dragging the world backwards while other nations step up responsibly. 16/ bsky.app/profile/sust...

Last week I wrote a piece where I said that batteries were a gas power assassin. @robshum.bsky.social pointed out that the correct word to describe batteries is "gassassin." Either way, there is a killing going on down under.

One of the craziest things about the US is how hard it is to lose a driver's license permanently. Sizable chunks of the population just shouldn't be driving.

Because driving has become a necessity for survival. Taking licenses away can actively strand citizens since we have only invested in private vehicle use as the primary mode of transportation

This is what "Abundance" was always meant to justify.

Germany is seeing a record high in traffic deaths among cyclists. 1/6 of those killed in 2025 was a cyclist (is that the right way to put it?). And now guess what the media, society, and politicians are discussing! 1. Mandatory helmets 2. Safe bike lanes 3. Ending car privileges 4. A dead whale

Open standards now key in EU public tenders as the bloc seeks tech sovereignty and pushes for interoperable digital systems.

The cross-party House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee has concluded the government should terminate NHS England's contract with Palantir - citing the company "supporting highly controversial policies and activities."

Hybrids are still advertised heavily in Germany (and elsewhere for that matter), but I really don't see how HEV and PHEV can meaningfully stay alive. They'll eventually become a grounding error. But we're not there yet.
