Invisible plumes and ‘terrible pollution’: the reality of the US gas sites rated ‘grade A’ Exclusive: Guardian investigation into reliability of methane certification issued by MiQ reveals weakness of voluntary model

Is anyone surprised?

A voluntary certification scheme to limit gas leaks from US production sites isn't working

BP & ExxonMobil are among producers wanting certification to comply with EU rules

Yet gas-imaging cameras revealed “huge emissions” at many sites

We’re letting big corporations gamble with our lives. Act now, or the food could run out | George Monbiot The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Britain’s food supply ‘at risk of catastrophic failure by 2030’ A report written before the 2024 election says climate change, habitat loss and geopolitical instability are a danger to food security — and it has been ignored

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now

We're told there's one way to run a business — with hierarchies, shareholders, and profit above all else. How Not to Do Business explores what happens when people reject that playbook. A new label from Changing the Narrative - subscribe to be kept in the loop: content.changingthenarrative.media

We need to change the narrative Stories have been used throughout human history to exert power and influence over others as well as to develop and maintain communities and cultures.

NEW ARTICLE: We need to change the narrative

“Prevailing narratives, while embraced by many and forces to be reckoned with, are not rigid, static things. They can and do change constantly.”

We need to be honest about Iran – and how our rampant greed for oil is causing mayhem | George Monbiot Oil has empowered capitalism, and some of the world’s most exploitative regimes. Move away from it and we can solve some of the key issues we face, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Fossil fuels push the world towards autocracy. Were we less dependent on them, there might have been no President Trump, no President Putin, no ayatollahs, no Netanyahu, no perpetual Middle East wars. Democracy depends on unhooking ourselves.

a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it.

Economists don’t understand capitalism

Lack of finance is holding back existing, as well as new, green technology This post is by Jaya Sood, Senior Economist at the New Economics Foundation. At the UK’s Innovation Zero conference in April, one argument took centre stage: while private capital flows steadily in…

“It’s a mistake to think markets alone will deliver (mature technologies) at the pace & scale required.”

The National Wealth Fund must invest in new AND existing climate solutions to meet the government's decarbonisation agenda, argues @jayasood.bsky.social
