A bar chart displaying information about global food miles and their associated greenhouse gas emissions. The chart has two main sections: the left side indicates the share of global food miles by mode of transportation, while the right side shows the greenhouse gas emissions in grams required to move one kilogram of food one kilometer. - **Shipping** accounts for 59% of global food miles, with a low emission of 20 grams. - **Road transport** is responsible for 31% of food miles, emitting 400 grams per kilogram. - **Rail** contributes 10% to the total, with 60 grams of emissions. - A small percentage, **0.2%**, represents food transported by air, which has the highest emissions at 1130 grams. The chart suggests that shipping is a very carbon-efficient method of transporting food compared to other means. The data source is credited to Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek, 2018.

Most food is transported by boat, so food miles are a relatively small part of the carbon footprint of most diets

What European Security Requires | by Laurence Tubiana - Project Syndicate Laurence Tubiana warns EU leaders not to go soft on decarbonization in the name of defense or stability.

Great piece from Laurence Tubiana.

"Europe’s climate leadership is not a burden, but a strategic asset. Doubling down on the green transition will help secure its economic edge, strengthen energy security, and reinforce its global standing."

Sustainable high-yield farming is essential for bending the curve of biodiversity loss | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Food production does more damage to wild species than any other sector of human activity, yet how best to limit its growing impact is greatly contested.

Our read of the evidence is similar to this paper: even with ambitious demand-side efforts (minimize food waste, shift high-meat diets toward plants, cut biofuels) there is still an “inescapable need for yield increases” to feed 9-10 billion people while halting biodiversity loss and climate change.

Meta faces April trial in FTC case seeking to unwind Instagram merger Facebook owner Meta Platforms will face trial in April over the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's allegations that the social media platform bought Instagram and WhatsApp to crush emerging competition, a judge in Washington said on Monday.

Mark Zuckerberg scrapped fact-checking from Meta platforms. He's also added Trump ally Dana White to Meta's board and is helping fund his inauguration.

Why is Zuckerberg kissing Trump's ring?

Perhaps it's because of the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Meta.

Follow the money.

I believe so!

Welcome! I expect this to hasten the entry of other EU spokesperson and leaders, potentially making this platform an alternative to the one we don't name! 😀

Extreme heat may rapidly sap the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2 The ocean carbon sink – which removes about a quarter of our emissions from the atmosphere each year – was much weaker than expected in 2023

The ocean carbon sink – which removes about a quarter of our CO2 emissions each year – was much weaker than expected in 2023, according to preprint from @jens-d-mueller.bsky.social etal. Doubly concerning alongside signs of weakening land carbon sink. #agu2024
