More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.

One more thing about this: Roberts’ intervention to help coal and gas happened *before* Trump’s first term as president.

Trump’s stance on fossil fuels — like his climate denial — is an expression of Republican ideology.

Really — it’s not just Trump’s madness! The rot and lawlessness is systemic.

Israeli forces fire teargas at schoolchildren holding West Bank sit-in Incident took place on first day back at school in small village, as settlers blocked pupils’ access

Tony Blair: We must end left’s unholy alliance with the Islamists Parts of the left cast Jewish communities as supporters of Israel and Jews become ‘fair game’

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Absurd: industrie eist onzeker en onbetrouwbaar klimaatbeleid Energie-intensieve bedrijven willen af van de handel in CO₂-emissierechten. Voorspelbaarheid wordt opgegeven in ruil voor wat lagere kosten op korte termijn, schrijft FD-columnist Mathijs Bouman.

"Zo ongeveer de hele energie-intensieve industrie van Europa wil dat de afbouw van CO₂-emissierechten in het emissiehandelssysteem stopt. Dat zou de bodem onder het Europese klimaatbeleid wegslaan, en de pas aangescherpte doelen van de Green Deal onhaalbaar maken.."
