This is specifically designed to turn workers against each other - people throughout the food system are exploited and underpaid, from the farmer to the supermarket worker to the commis in a Michelin establishment. These people deserve a pay rise because they are ALSO STRUGGLING. Solidarity.

The Price of Oil www.break-down.org/the-price-of...

This is an excellent essay from the Nigerian journalist Taiwo Hassan on the mooted resumption of drilling in Ogoniland in the Niger Delta, and the long shadow of petro-capitalism and resistance in Nigeria

Against the background of poverty, environmental degradation and economic underdevelopment, many in the Delta struggle to see how the resumption of oil extraction could produce a positive outcome, let alone deliver tangible benefits to local communities. www.break-down.org/the-price-of...

Update: 6 countries (France, Czechia, Finland, Greece, Luxembourg, and Poland) have called on the EU Commission not to extend the scope of the ETS to flights departing from the EEA. carbon-pulse.com/519479/?site...

favourite boos in recent times - Elon Musk booed at Chapelle show (sent him into a multi-day funk; staff were concerned about his wellbeing it shook him up so much) - Every corpo-robot blurting out AI PR being booed at commence ment speeches - This

Just to reinforce how massive this is - when you sort by BEV share but show absolute units - China has the #10 highest share - Its y-axis in millions, but every other country in the top 14 has their units either in thousands or tens of thousands

The comment I submitted, in a personal capacity, on the proposed OMB rule (Duke University is submitting one on behalf of the university, and individuals are encouraged to submit their own as well)

This article never actually addresses who Joyce is talking about, which is people who are not visibly white / Caucasian. It also doesn't mention that One Nation is a racist, white nationalist far-right party and that they're saying as part of that agenda

Gideon Levy: "I think its quite clear that Netanyahu.. is not in a position to say no to Donald Trump on almost anything. Israel is more dependent on the US than ever before.."

I do find it fascinating how the media has been so against HS2 on value for money, only saving a little bit of time etc. yet LTC has none of the level of backlash. It's almost as if road schemes play by different rules.

NEW: One day after we revealed Meta was quietly building face recognition into its smart glasses, the latest version deletes it. Meta execs, who called our reporting "dishonest" and "misleading," continue to dodge our questions.

Worth reading @hannahdaly.ie's full research here - it contains some really stunning numbers. The most important point is the 80% renewable mandate delayed by six years: meaning six years of massive gas use and emissions, breaching carbon budgets and spiking bills zenodo.org/records/2058...

Two and a half years into Israels genocide & the UK govt signs a statement calling on Israel to let more aid into Gaza.

Air France-KLM, Airways owner IAG, Lufthansa, & Ryanair have urged the EU Commission not to extend its ETS to cover international flights, warning that the move would raise ticket prices, and "undermine global efforts to decarbonise aviation" 🤣 🤣 by hampering the legitimacy of CORSIA. Nice try :)

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)

This is how it begins to end. As the people find their courage, and their voice.

"Dahiyeh neighbourhood, which is the southern part of Beirut, the Hezbollah stronghold.." Dahiyeh is a residential neighbourhood full of apartment blocks, shops, cafes & businesses. Calling it a Hezbollah stronghold is language designed to make it a legitimate target.

"A match official who was set to be the first Somalian to referee at the World Cup finals has been dropped after he was denied entry to the US.." Why isn't FIFA demanding this decision be reversed? That's a rhetorical question. We all know why.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just let the “Texas two-step” stand — a bankruptcy trick that lets corporations shift lawsuits into a shell company, send it into bankruptcy, and leave victims fighting for years while the real money stays protected.

I have in my head a list of climate real ones: the people who've stuck solidly with the fundamental imperative of protecting living things from the harm of an overheating atmosphere. Danny is a real one. This is a strongly principled stance and such a shocking black mark against the GHG protocol.

The GHG Protocol is such a clear example of why you can’t let industry “self regulate” and create their own standards. It crowds out robust public alternatives and inevitably gets manipulated

I don't think Anthropic really meant it this way but what an amazing demonstration of why generative AI's energy consumption is only getting worse, and dirtier. "Improvements" only come from nesting chatbots within chatbots, rather than any fundamental smarter design. It's Bitcoin x 1000

H1B visas were historically key for postdocs and research scientists (and future PIs and professors) - and the fee threatened to totally derail that pipeline. This is good news.

Finally, I would observe that either: (1) The senior management of the World Resources Institute is okay with a secret, industry-led process to draft forest carbon accounting rules; or (2) The World Resources Institute no longer exerts sufficient influence over the Protocol to stop it.

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.

Resigning is not a decision I take lightly, but I have spent more than a year inside the process trying to get the Protocol to follow its own rules. I wrote a peer-reviewed report about those rules and filed a 200+ page complaint with Protocol leadership. They buried it.

Most people know that using recycled paper is better than consuming virgin paper. But under the industry rule, virgin paper would look better because it requires cutting down more trees.

This matters because industry stakeholders are pushing an accounting rule that would assign carbon removals to forest harvests and wood consumption. That's the opposite of what happens in physical reality. Forest harvests cause emissions, not removals.
