Lots of noise, and a fair bit of nonsense, coming out around CH4 v. CO2 abatement. But missing in all of this is that reductions in CH4 emissions at any time are an unalloyed good: Good for climate, good for air quality, good for public health, good for the economy. We should be doing far more.
This is the Commissioner very patiently trying to tell countries not to subsidise prices at the pump because it only makes things worse. Will EU countries listen?
"Money is global, but politics is local, so rich people can buy influence in ways that are not available to others... The answer to this problem is either to make politics more global, so it can stand up to the money, or to make money more local, so it is subject to countries’ political processes."

Very interesting thread for italophiles.
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: When the whole world learned about Bucha. Everyone saw the horror that Russia and its aggression bring. They saw what Ukraine is really defending itself against.
In Poltava russian night attack killed one, and Injured several others
A multi-story residential building was struck, causing severe damage - the top floor’s structure was destroyed. Four people were injured, including two children. Tragically, one person was killed.
Inte förvånad - folket valde så - men satans ändå - så fort det kan gå.
I nominate this cartoon by Steve Cousineau for a Pulitzer!
I noticed the UK government's estimate of CO2 from future AI data centres was implausibly low.
I asked for the methodology underpinning the analysis, but got nowhere.
When I wrote an article about it they just... deleted the analysis.
Now, @adamvaughan.bsky.social has covered this for the Times.
Det här är naturliga konsekvensen av att stora delar av världen såg bort när 20 000 barn dödades.
Jag är inte ett dugg förvånad.
Vad ska alla som "uppmanar" Israel att inte avrätta enbart palestinier göra om Israel inte hörsammar uppmaningarna, vilket skett tidigare?
Orban regime now trying to prosecute a journalist for revealing stories that embarrass them.

What does ecosystem #integrity mean in a rapidly changing #Anthropocene biosphere? I argue for a shift from static reference states toward 1) the ecological processes that sustain biodiversity & 2) evolutionary heritage➡️ doi.org/10.1111/rec....

Exactly the same story in Ireland, with our Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), whether at sea or on land, no less trashed than anywhere else.
The word 'conservation' is meaningless, and an abuse of language.

The spread of non-native species is likely to be compounded by climate change and land-use.

Som så ofta när stora förändringar genomförs med svagt folkligt stöd så anges hot mot "nationell säkerhet" som skäl. Men kritikerna tror mer att det handlar om oljeindustrin.

Spoke with William Hennigan about POTUS's threat to attack Iran's "Electric Generating Plants."
"[T]he president’s categorical statement represents a threat to target even civilian objects regardless of the requirement for distinction, which would be a war crime."

Fullkomligt ofattbart på alla sätt och vis! De extremister som styr den israeliska regeringen – förutom att de orsakar och utför vidrigt extrem skada på palestinska folket – skadar nog själva Israel och judar globalt mer än vad Hamas någonsin skulle kunna. Undrar lite om fångarna tar för stor plats.
Mellanösternkorrespondent Cecilia Uddén: ”Det är en lag som har kallats diskriminerande och rasistisk och som fördömts av människorättsorganisationer liksom flera EU-länder, inkl Sverige.”

Earthjustice is suing Trump’s EPA over its illegal repeal of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which limit hazardous air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants.
By scrapping MATS, EPA is giving a lifeline to some of the dirtiest power plants at the expense of public health.
🙅♂️ Don't fall into the biogenic trap - burning paper and packaging waste still releases carbon emissions. This Int’l #ZeroWasteDay, we need to talk about the myth that incineration of waste for energy (“waste-to-energy”) is a “green” solution when it is a CO₂ emissions-heavy pollutant energy source.
BREAKING: Huge win for the Endangered Species Act! A federal court struck down President Trump’s attacks against the ESA – a ruling that will derail ongoing efforts by the current Trump admin to further weaken the bedrock environmental law.
The UK government is exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract, the FT reports.
A big and absolutely correct step.
It will make the murder of Palestinians faster and easier for Israel.
Hörde nyss delresultatet: agenda och aktuellt slås ihop. Suck!
Goda nyheter! Tack till alla modiga som kämpar för en beboelig planet.
Erm actually it's not apartheid because Israel disclaims any responsibility for the non Jewish people it has control over in every single way— please don't look up what the white regime in South Africa did btw ☝🏽🤓
