Renewable energy discourses of fossil fuel companies: obstruction and delay of climate action - Energy, Sustainability and Society Background For decades, multinational fossil fuel companies have strategically promoted discourses to obstruct climate action. Initially, the fossil fuel industry publicized communications that denied...

My friend @gwagner.com's take in @nature.com nicely complements points I made in my @livescience.com commentary "Our fossil fuel economy is a house of cards & Trump's war in Iran is about to topple it...need for a clean energy transition has never been clearer."

softbank gas woudl emit 20mtco2-e per year

Hello and welcome to Your Daily Fossil Fuelled Data Centre

Today it's Softbank's 9 gigawatt carbon bomb lie generator, which on its own could increase Ohio's power sector emissions by 30%.

I often see "Well it won't end up being built" as a defence or counter to this sort of stuff.

Google to tap into gas plant for AI datacenter in sharp turn from climate goals Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

Omaha Is Home to a Massive Superfund Site. Most Kids Living There Aren’t Tested for Lead. For more than a century, a smelter and other factories spewed 400 million pounds of lead dust across the city’s east side. Faced with similar concerns, 13 states passed laws requiring all kids to get a blood test before kindergarten. But not Nebraska.

a chart showing various oil scenarios and actual oil demand aligning to the higher oil consumption ones

If the world had followed ambitious climate scenarios, global oil demand would be at least 20% lower than it is today - about the same volume of oil that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

Some men just want to watch the world burn and a very surprising (or not depending on how anarchistic your tendencies are) number of bipartisan elected & appointed officials are more than happy to let them do it

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Suspect in Hacking of Climate Activists Is Extradited to New York

A lobbying group for “one of the world’s largest oil and gas corporations, with headquarters in Irving, Texas,” was a client of a massive hacking-for-hire scheme that targeted climate advocates, according to a grand jury indictment.

One suspect's lawyers "identified...the company as Exxon Mobil."

I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

God help us.

RFK Jr. May Reverse a Peptide Ban He Calls “Illegal.” Former FDA Officials Say He Mischaracterized Their Work. The agency’s 2023 decision to place 19 peptides on the “unsafe” list was supported by numerous documented safety concerns, former officials said. Even though demand for peptide therapies has exploded ...

NEW: In 2023, the FDA deemed 19 peptides too unsafe to be dispensed by compounding pharmacies.

Now, under RFK Jr., the agency is poised to reverse itself — despite the fact that few clinical studies support claims of the peptides’ effectiveness or safety.
