Mega-lekken gascentrales goed voor een kwart opwarming aarde, en Turkmenistan is kampioen    De vervuilende uitstoot van olie en gasinstallaties warmt niet alleen het klimaat op, ze zijn vaak het gevolg van slecht onderhoud en kunnen eenvoudig worden verholpen. Daarover schrijft The Guardian. Analyse toont tientallen megalekken, die elk hetzelfde effect op de opwarming van de aarde hebben als een kolencentrale. Vijftien van de vijfentwintig ergste methaanlekken bevinden zich in het CentraalAziatische Turkmenistan.

Poor land use planning and development is also often a root cause for increased flood risk and effects of droughts.

Climate change is often blamed but that’s an easy way out of complete failure of proper land use planning and development.

A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.” There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
