“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising [fossil fuel & meat adverts] in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities. France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, & one Italian city has plans to do the same.” #UrbanTruth

Someone who doesn't know much about oceanography asked me if the dismantling of ocean monitoring capabilities was stupid and/or evil. It is stupid AND evil. The War on Science continues. As more people see it and push back, maybe the tide can be turned. 🌊🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

No electricity, no gas, no sleep: Cubans on edge amid endless outages - four months into US oil blockade, Cubans see island drained as state electric company fights to provide even a few hours of power a day By Ruaridh Nicoll www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The UK govt has been doing a lot of very welcome chat about ‘electrifying Britain’ lately. Some of that is going to be tricky, technologically & operationally. But not for railways! where electrification is 100-year-mature technology that is operationally superior to every other option. Just do it!

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

It's upsetting that describing elon as the man who killed hundreds of thousands of global poor, stole your SSN, and let screw worms drive up cattle prices is also part of a vast conspiracy to steal your retirement money in order to become the worlds first trillionaire, isn't as catchy as pizzagate

Attached is my "two penn'orth" on how to relate the 2°C carbon budget to our climate commitments. I take the UNFCCC, Paris, ICJ, etc. commitments at face value, and express my views without fear or favour and regardless of political sensibilities. Always happy to hear what I've got wrong.

"Keeping warming below 2°C requires global emissions cuts of 8% every yr... For wealthy nations such as the UK, which repeatedly claim they will lead the transition, the rate of cuts needs to be in excess of 10% yr on yr. Contrast that with the UK gov's enthusiasm for widespread airport expansion!"

"Why are oil prices not higher?" Electrification has been a shock absorber. Requires a counterfactual world - What if OIL DEMAND had not been reduced by over two decades of electrification of EVs, trains, buses & electric two-wheelers? Few ppl know that Oil for transport peaked in 2018! Thread.

FT": "Protests erupted overnight in Cuba after the government said it had completely run out of diesel and fuel oil, the energy supplies essential to its power generation." “We have absolutely no fuel [oil] and absolutely no diesel,” said Cuba's energy minister, blaming Trump's" blockade of Cuba

We are deeply concerned at the vast rise in violent Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians, and at settlement expansion, which forces Palestinians off their land. The Israeli government itself is clear this is designed to prevent a 2 state solution ever being realised. (2/2)

How? By leveraging industrial policy and public finance.

Look at China. China has led major innovations in exactly these technologies - renewables, EVs and life-saving medicines, as well high-speed rail, aerospace engineering, microchips etc - with a GDP per capita that is 70% less than that of the US.

And this does not require high-income countries to achieve even higher levels of GDP. It can be done right now.

We don't. This is massively inefficient and unnecessary. Instead, we can use industrial policy and public finance to target necessary innovations directly.

Why do we need to increase *aggregate* production, indiscriminately, from an already very high level, in order to get these specific innovations? Why do we need continued growth in fast fashion and industrial beef in order to innovate better energy systems and medicines?

I recently heard a leading public figure claim that high-income countries need more GDP growth in order to increase innovation in things like renewables, EVs, and life-saving medicine. This makes little sense:

RECORD HEAT IN VANUATU There isn't a single tropical country which is not breaking heat records and Oceania is doing its share: New June record of highest Temperature in The Espiritu Santo Island of VANUATU 31.9C at Luganville AP (Pekoa), beating the record set just 1 year ago.

By the way, the headline is sensationalist and incorrect. Paris hasn’t completely banned cars from the city centre, and I doubt they ever would. The word “restricted“ means that they strategically chose places where cars make sense, where cars should be reduced, and where cars should be prohibited.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
