CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.

Yikes!!!!!

Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

I researched this in grad school. Although I find the numbers behind the handwashing surveys to be quite suspect, I agree that dishwashers are probably more sustainable than washing by hands, especially if you don’t rinse with hot water first.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

EPA handwashing numbers all led back to same study following a survey following 30 Germans for 30 days in the 70s, iirc.

Yo.

Coffee is a bean.

Soy milk comes from beans.

So a Vanilla Soy Latte is just 3 bean soup.

As COP30 (UN meeting on climate change) begins, 10 years into the Paris Agreement, US emissions are about as high as ever, due substantially to methane pollution from oil and gas systems. The US is the world's worst cumulative climate polluter, nearly 2x China, and is not participating in COP30.

Guterres is right.
Even a temporary overshoot could unleash far greater destruction and costs for every nation. It could push ecosystems past catastrophic and irreversible tipping points.

First of all, @michaelemann.bsky.social is not an "activist." He's a climate scientist. With a fact, not a smear, to share.

Second, many climate scientists, some pragmatists, have criticized the Gates memo for misrepresenting the science.

So I'm not sure what this is.

The "abundance agenda" is an incredibly designed piece of centre-right climate delay

The entire project of climate action comes down to *not extracting and burning fossil fuels*. So if you frame "being against things" as inherently bad, you can pull thousands of ppl into a pro-fossil stance.
