Labour’s carbon-capture scheme will be Starmer’s white elephant: a terrible mistake costing billions | George Monbiot The supposedly green project – brainchild of the previous Tory government – will increase emissions, not reduce them, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

2. The reason is as grim as you could imagine: a cynical and staggeringly expensive greenwashing scheme dreamt up by the fossil fuel industry and packaged as a "climate solution": the supposed "Carbon Capture and Storage" scheme the government is funding. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How the Grift Works Trump pulls off a nasty con--and maybe he gets rolled too

1. A characteristically brilliant explanation by @billmckibben.bsky.social of why Trump's attempt to force the EU to buy US fossil gas (please let's stop calling it "natural gas") will fail. Unfortunately, the UK is now locked into US gas dependence. 🧵 billmckibben.substack.com/p/how-the-gr...

‘It’s death by a thousand cuts’: marine ecologist on the collapse of coral reefs.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

The greatest threat to ocean biodiversity in the past 50 yrs—more than climate change or plastic pollution—is unsustainable fishing. So countries around the world have been creating marine protected areas.

But in the US, 47 is undoing marine protection.

A marine biologist explains, No pay wall.
