Utah just "made it nearly impossible for residents to hold fossil fuel companies legally accountable for climate damages." Four other red states are now considering similar laws. This is part of a push from Big Oil and its political allies to secure federal legal immunity—and it must be stopped.

The biggest problem with the food system is that it is no longer a *food* system. More than half the calories we grow on croplands aren't food; they're lost in inefficient feedlots or to biofuels. Project Drawdown scientists highlight this disturbing trend: sentientmedia.org/more-crops-g...

Want “change?” Donald Trump was change. Be discerning.

🥳 Japan, a major importer of US gas, cancels plans to import gas from Louisiana’s Commonwealth liquified natural gas facility. Hit hard by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Japan is waking up to the risks relying on $$ imported fossil fuels linked to volatile global markets. bloom.bg/41BdA2h

15 out of the 16 states in Germany publish joined statement of their environment ministers, publicly opposing DE's national energy minister Reiche's planned blockade on renewable energy + infrastructure expansion.

President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison term of David Gentile, who led GPB Capital, less than two weeks after he began serving a seven-year sentence in a $1.6 billion fraud that prosecutors said harmed more than 10,000 investors. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-free...

People who expect precision in science should hold themselves to that standard when they speak about economics or politics. For example, “degrowth” does not mean “recession.” It means shifting production away from the sectors accelerating climate change towards those that create public good.

Orwell called this thoughtcrime. We're at *that* stage of fascism. Canada is also already moving in this direction. Carney's surveillance bill enables the state to, without warrant, track you across your devices and software if it believes you are capable of committing a crime.

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

Eine Revolte gegen Katherina Reiche. Und du hast nichts davon gehört. 15 Energieminister stellen sich geschlossen gegen den fossilen Kurs – über Parteigrenzen hinweg. Kein Tweet. Kein Talkshow-Dauerfeuer. Kein Aufschrei. Warum? | #Energiewende #Deutschland #Politik #Reiche #KlartextMitLilly

Was im Jahr 2000 begann ist nun offiziell: Der Luchs im Harz ist wieder heimisch. Das ist ein Erfolg & zeigt zugleich, wie langwierig solche Projekte sind bzw. wie fatal die Zerstörung von Ökosystemen wirkt. Was in kurzer Zeit zerstört werden kann, braucht Jahre oder Jahrzehnte zum Regenerieren.

EU chief says targeting civilian infrastructure ‘illegal’

Wenn Trump Freitags, bevor die Börse schließt, mal wieder eskalierend twittert, bevor er Montag wieder zurückrudert... ☕ Wir machen Witze, dass das chaotisch ist, aber da werden wochenweise Leute reicher.

Habe ich das richtig verstanden, dass die gleiche Regierung, die Mio. Menschen vorschreibt für lange Auslandsreisen eine Genehmigung der Bundeswehr einzuholen, gleichzeitg kein Tempolimit durchsetzen kann, weil es sich um eine unzumutbare Freiheitseinschränkung der Bürgerinnen und Bürger handelt?

If you see one of the diagrams on the internet that supposedly disprove #globalwarming or climate models, they invariably are aimed at lay people and don’t hold up under scrutiny. 🧐 Here’s another example (a cherry 🍒 pick) by notorious Roy Spencer debunked. www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...

Correct! Tedros announced it was airborne but Ryan immediately interrupted to deny it (despite SARS1 being airborne etc). 2022-11-23 Soumya Swaminathan, Departing WHO chief scientist, acknowledges the biggest mistake of not recognising aerosol transmission. www.science.org/content/arti...

COVID-19 is not "just the flu." New research by @zalaly shows that COVID-19 is significantly more harmful than flu, and that most of the harms come after the acute phase of the illness has passed. Read More: johnsnowproject.org/primers/covi...

RIP 🪦 Public Health. We shifted from prevention to Pokémon ‘catch ‘em all’. Whilst telling us to only wash hands for airborne transmission.

"China is moving to scale and formalise its lithium battery recycling ecosystem through a new policy that prioritises infrastructure, industrial consolidation, and digital oversight."

New laboratory experiments from the University of Leeds shows that thawing permafrost can become 25 to 100 times more permeable, allowing greenhouse gases to escape into the atmosphere much more easily than when frozen. www.earth.com/news/thawing...

I'd maybe even allow myself a positive response if it weren't for the 4 mil ish renters paying the highest rents ever recorded who won't benefit

"Archbishop Timothy Broglio went on CBS’s Face the Nation to state unequivocally that Trump’s war on Iran is wrong and that American Catholic soldiers, sailors and air crew have the duty to refuse immoral orders." Read the whole piece: charlieangus.substack.com/p/church-sen...

The government is seeking to speed up launch of its Warm Homes Plan to help cut people's energy bills in response to the Iran war. Under it, lower income families could receive fully funded installations of solar panels + battery up to a cost of £12,000. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Now includes an extra BONUS factchecked myth! "FALSE: ‘We share the same basin with Norway…there is not a geological difference.”

Western governments who still collaborate and support the Netanyahu government are part of these war crimes. International law has become a joke. We need to re-establish common rules of humanity we have agreed on for good reasons after WWII and hold violators responsible.

Wir sind entsetzt. Über das Osterwochenende sind vermutlich etwa 71 Menschen im Mittelmeer ertrunken. Gestern entdeckte unser Flugzeug Seabird 2 ein gekentertes Holzboot: ~15 Menschen klammerten sich verzweifelt am Rumpf fest, andere waren im Wasser, einige leblos. 🎥 Fabian Melber

Really wonderful news! The pine marten was photographed completely by chance on a camera set up to monitor reintroduced water voles. It's been 100 years since pine martens were last seen in Cornwall. bit.ly/4dmmIyO

Remember to check for wildlife if you're tidying the garden 🦔 ✂️🚫 Leave grass unmown if you can – but if you must mow, check carefully for #hedgehogs & other wildlife first, then cut it initially to about a foot tall. Check again before cutting any shorter! #sundayshare

Seasonal fencing now back up to protect the Little Tern colony on Seaton Carew beach. This has been a highly successful scheme which involves cordoning off a small proportion of one of the North-east most popular beaches during the breeding season. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Recommended read: A feature in the Guardian explored how warming seas are causing mass die-offs of Japan’s oysters, threatening the shellfish trade.

If we went back to 2019 and had been told there was an airborne virus circulating that can cause neurological, heart, lung, immune damage and blood clots. I think most people would have responded by protecting themselves. Well there is but it’s not happening.

Great example of what is a likely outcome of deregulation and reduction of bureaucracy. Regulation and bureaucracy are the bedrock of a just and healthy society. That should count more than higher ROI for a few shareholders.

Trump will rechtswidrig Millionen Bürgern die Möglichkeit zu wählen entziehen. Oder wie unsere Medien titeln: "Donald Trump setzt umstrittene Wahlreform per Dekret durch"

In Südkorea wird jetzt der Turbo bei den Erneuerbaren gezündet. Dagegen setzt Katherina Reiche auf Gas & bremst die Erneuerbaren per Gesetz. Südkorea zieht nun die logische Konsequenz aus der fossilen Energiekrise. Wir brauchen eine Wende der Bundesregierung für den raschen Ausbau der Erneuerbaren!

Jahrelang mussten wir uns anhören, dass es keine Regeln außer den Emissionshandel im Klimaschutz braucht, weil wenn der Emissionshandel erstmal da ist, regelt das der Markt. Nun ist der Emissionshandel in seiner Wirkung im Markt angenommen, funktioniert und wer hätte das gedacht? Er soll weg. 🤦

Granny holding a cardboard sign = terrorist. Former al-Qaeda leader wearing a suit = honoured guest of the British government.

Remember Europe, when you import US LNG you don't only directly contribute to the destruction of the climate and complete environmental devastation of the Permian region of Texas and the poisoning of all the people who live there, you import benzene right into your homes. Benzene is very bad.

Es ist ein krasser Widerspruch, einerseits Deutsche zu mehr Arbeit aufzufordern, und andererseits zu versuchen, hunderttausende Beschäftigte aus dem Arbeitsmarkt loszuwerden. #Syrien #Bundeskanzler #Exodus 1/n

‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink,’ say campaigners, arguing that overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’.

A world food crisis is coming as a consequence of the war on Iran. It’s not just about fertilizers and grains. Tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in greenhouses powered by gas. Gas is getting too expensive which means shortages are looming.
