By wildly over-stating how often plug-in hybrids are driven in "electric mode", carmakers avoided about $6 billy in fines This is comfortably way worse and way deadlier than the VW pollution cheat rigging scandal.....

At least sky apologised - the BBC continued to peddle the same knowingly incorrect line as Starmer, Nandy etc.

Renewable energy auctions are evolving! A new TNC Europe paper shows how adding biodiversity and social criteria can boost climate, nature and community wins, just as the EU rolls out its Net-Zero Industry Act and Citizens Energy Package. A better energy future starts here. nature.ly/43zzHXZ

In the Netherlands we switched from voting machines back to pen and paper when some white hat hackers showed how easily voting machines could be manipulated. Not having open source with hash verification should be disqualifying. The US is making itself extremely vulnerable to massive voter fraud.

In addition to dominating solar, wind, electric vehicles, rare earths, China is set to be dominant in the global market in energy storage according to Bloomberg www.ft.com/content/246a...

This is ****exactly**** the fatalistic action-erosion that the fossil fuel industry has been enacting for a long time. "You can't do anything to stop this, so don't even try" "We'll continue to need coal, oil and gas for years" etc etc bsky.app/profile/keta...

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

A new report shows that 5 major meat corporations produced more greenhouse gases than reported for Shell or Chevron. Big Meat and Dairy corporations are cooking our planet. foe.org/news/emissio...

On October 21, 1966, the Aberfan disaster claimed the lives of 116 children and 28 adults when a colliery waste tip collapsed onto a school and nearby homes of the town of Aberfan.

For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type. By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... “of 128,761 buildings … examined over a six-month period, 78% had asbestos,” and that “71% of the asbestos items recorded … were damaged”; 30% were in the highest risk category, requiring immediate removal
