It’s amazing that the Colorado River Basin states are not ALL demanding more action to halt the climate change that is causing a significant portion of the river flow declines that are creating a growing water crisis in their states. apple.news/A8ZbVkbOxRne...

As the gov't accelerates the switch to renewables, campaigners call on ministers to act now to conserve remaining oil. @dougparr.bsky.social argues "lowering speed limits + banning private jets + short-haul flights would...avoid much more painful decisions later": share.google/K7eWdAreuqEW...

Oil + gas drilling is permitted in many Marine 'Protected' Areas in the UK, as illustrated in our Watershed Pollution Map, below. Bottom trawl fishing is allowed in many MPAs. All of which begs the question - what's 'protected' about a Marine Protected Area? share.google/LiNhOTjTO4hY... 1/4

When meaningful restrictions are in place in MPAs, the results are clear: nature bounces back. Charities including @oceanauk.bsky.social argue bottom trawling shouldn't be allowed in any Marine 'Protected' Areas, + that oil + gas drilling in UK waters harms wildlife. share.google/3JgdJacLlpwT...

Analysis by @oceanauk.bsky.social finds oil + chemical spills at sea occur much more frequently than officially reported. share.google/dWXSlNVpHdfY... 3/4

Turns out, if you stop tearing up the seabed, wildlife thrives: ten years after banning bottom trawl fishing, there are 3 times the number of sea creatures + double the number of species in the South Arran MPA, Scotland, than there were before the ban 👏🦪🐟 share.google/2M5WqP3CXwSH...

Montana’s American Prairie will have to remove its bison from seven parcels of BLM land it leased for grazing under the Biden administration, though it may appeal the “politically motivated” decision.

Good news, America! Trump promised to sell more American oil to other countries which means you will be paying higher prices at the pump. Oligarchs First!

"In short, prices at the pump are poised to keep rising if the U.S. exports more oil and gas and drains its inventories." WSJ

Energy Independence Bill aims to: - speed up rollout of measures such as heat pumps + insulation for people's homes, to shield households from spiralling energy costs driven by the Iran war - build large scale infrastructure projects + deploy renewable power share.google/BJLxMCFCtVUu...

In February, a man drove cross-country with a cache of weapons to a major Nevada-area power plant. His apparent attack failed, and he killed himself. He had literature popular with neo-Nazis, and his target had circulated in guides in the movement. Latest at SPLC: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Not a bad thing.

He said, “I’m rich. I can pay the fines.” This is the attitude of every major corporation. It's why regulations are mostly meaningless in the US. I quoted a regulator in my book who said when the companies are fined they, "just smile and write the check." No rules for the rich.

Incredible economic results from Spain. Since the pandemic, real disposable income of Spanish households has grown by 8.3%. More than double that of the UK & France. Triple that of Italy. Ten times more than that of Germany. Last yr alone, real income grew almost twice as much as the OECD average

🛢️The oil&gas lobby is pushing for fast-tracked approvals, weaker enviro assessments+new permitting loopholes for thousands of planned CO2 pipelines These projects may be labelled “strategic” or “public interest”, making it harder for communities 2 challenge them🚷 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/05/p...

Planned pipelines could pass through densely populated areas despite major safety concerns. As accidents in the US have shown, CO2 pipelines pose major health risks: asphyxiation, mass-hospitalisations and long-lasting health impacts. In Europe, a ruptured pipeline could even prove fatal. 👇

👆 So why on earth does the EU want to spend €23 billion building 19k wkm of them? To keep the oil+gas industry in business, and dirty industries from cleaning up their act All because it’s listening to “experts” (read: fossil fuel companies) pushing the “carbon capture&storage” con ✏️@cartoonRalph

1/4 Govt needs to get ahead of upcoming fuel crisis in UK & elsewhere Climate & transport groups are calling for ban on private jets, a frequent flyer levy and ban on main short haul routes where direct train exists Would save nearly 1 M tonnes jet fuel per yr www.theguardian.com/environment/...

2/4 Also a call for a change to the speed limit on motorways from 70mph to 60mph for cars & vans, where internal combustion engines are much more efficient This would save around 0.4 M tonnes of diesel & petrol Diesel is more important fuel saving, because that's where shortage is likely to be

3/4 Given we're already hearing about jet fuel shortages this is less about saving CO2 - because that 'saved' jet fuel will be burnt elsewhere - and more about fairness in how we allocate scarce resources Energy shocks, with associated raised prices, shouldn't just be allowed to hammer the poorest

4/4 The groups who made the call are Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Possible, Transport and Environment, and Safe Landing Thanks to those who helped make it happen This is about govts getting ahead of events, not just letting them happen to us ENDS

“Solar is so cheap, batteries are so cheap and EVs are getting so cheap that this is the first energy crisis where people say, ‘but there’s an alternative,’” Turner said. 💡 paywalled

“Renewables create a set of capital assets, which once you’ve got them, are just not susceptible to somebody cutting off a pipeline or somebody sending the LNG elsewhere because they got a better offer,” Turner said.

Left unmitigated, India's coal mine methane emissions could soon reach 138 MtCO2e by 2030 – comparable to emissions from its entire heavy-duty transport sector in 2021. That’s all the emissions from every truck and bus in the country combined 📉 ember-energy.org/lat...

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

Verbannt endlich die Grundschleppnetz-Fischerei

Such a great solution if we all had it… ‘I cannot believe how much material is coming out of the washing machine. Somebody sent me photos of dinner-platefuls.” #MicroplasticPollution

As many other people are saying... Duuuuuhhh... Now let's make the whole of the British isles coastline a protected marine reserve. No commercial fishing companies allowed, at all. Only private individuals and small businesses should be allowed to fish, with pots and lines and small nets.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Indeed.

We need #ZanesLaw to protect the public. And the Labour government to stop following Tory rhetoric about "cutting red tape" www.channel4.com/news/environ...

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.
