China is “reshaping the world’s energy outlook, geopolitics and its capacity to limit the catastrophic effects of #climatechange”, says @economist.com - "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than US makes from exporting fossil fuels' $ www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Farming lobby groups from 12 countries — led by the NFU and Beef + Lamb New Zealand — are heading to COP30 to push the UN to rewrite how methane is measured (aka that GWP* business) www.farmersguardian.com/news/4521064...

this is a good and important campaign but it makes me think of the 'bean ballet' ad from mad men www.youtube.com/shorts/3cR0N...

Dick Cheney got George W. Bush to break his promise to regulate carbon emissions, and began turning climate into a strictly partisan issue. He was always loyal to fossil fuels and that’s a huge part of his legacy.

however welcome this intervention is, wtf is his hair doing www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

this whistleblower memo should be front of mind when developing the UK's food strategy a key point 👇 food companies are ditching 'buy british' promise in favour of cheap, low-welfare meat

It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

'Amazon hides its water consumption' was one hypothetical headline the memo warned of always amusing when someone writes down the thing they don't want to happen nice work from @lukewbarratt.bsky.social @rosafurneaux.bsky.social @source-material.org www.source-material.org/amazon-leak-...

We solved climate change! At least in the climate game, Daybreak. All it took was some climate reporters and scientists working together, an all-out effort to decarbonize the world and enhance natural carbon sinks, and CO₂ removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM) deployments. Easy. 1/2

last year i chronicled how a beef industry exec and an industry-funded think tank turned the EU against lab-grown meat unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/07/30/c... turns out it's the exact same guys who persuaded the EU parliament to ban phrases like 'veggie burger' and 'plant-based sausage'

Grimly crisp illustration of the mechanism whereby toxic and unrepresentative social media shapes mainstream coverage. Prominent journalist logs onto X, sees claim, assumes truth, repeats in national broadcast from trusted mainstream news org. Happens all day every day, just especially stark here.

it's my understanding that these findings are causing some consternation at the reform conference

Going for 'no' here

farage is opening pandora's box by promising to get fracking. i've identified 34 reform target seats that would be impacted, and exclusive polling shows it's a divisive issue amongst 'reform-curious' voters — my latest for @unearthednews.bsky.social unearthed.greenpeace.org/2025/09/05/r...
