Yep. "…clear that fossil-fuel companies, and their adjacent organizations, are the primary lobbyists for CCUS subsidies and that these subsidies benefit fossil-fuel companies at the expense of both taxpayers and the future health of our planet" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dans l'histoire de la Ve République, aucun ministre de la Culture n'avait à ce point attaqué la presse, menacé les journalistes, intimidé des rédactions, tenté de faire taire des révélations. La combattre c'est combattre pour la survie même de la presse. Soutien à @thomas-legrand.bsky.social.

Merci à TV5MONDE de m’avoir invité à donner mon avis sur la loi Duplomb. Ce que demandent les pétitionnaires, en France, comme en Belgique, c’est un nouveau contrat entre le monde agricole et la société basé sur le dialogue et le respect. youtube.com/watch?v=VH1u...

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

The Roman fort of Trimontium lies in the central Scottish Borders. Agricola placed a lowland fort by the Eildon Hills. The fort was built for 1,000 men. It had two main periods of activity: first after Agricola’s invasion and second from AD 140 to c. AD 184. #RomanFortThursday

1/ The EU Commission proposes a budget 2028-2034 that is around €580bn higher than its precursor. The increase is a bit less enormous considering that NGEU repayments will already consume €168bn. However, there is still quite some additional spending in there, mainly going to the new Pillar II:

When we think about money flowing from richer to poorer countries, foreign aid is one of the first things that comes to mind. But another major channel receives far less attention in mainstream conversations: the money that migrants send back to their families or bring home after working abroad.

REVEALED: European fertiliser plants rely on US fracked gas. ⚠️“While fertiliser giant Yara markets ‘green solutions’, it is pioneering new frontiers for fracking & fossil fuels. 🚨"Our #foodsystem is becoming BigOil’s emergency escape hatch” says @rajpatel.org www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fertilizer giant Yara's move to 'sustainable' ammonia relies on #fracked #gas harmful to Texan communities, @desmog.com investigation finds. They're calling it 'sustainable' but "simply propping up an inherently wasteful agricultural model, without touching the root problem," says @rajpatel.org
