YouTube video by Nate Hagens What the Disappearance of Insects Means for Humanity and the Earth with Oliver Milman | TGS 189

Nate is right! Insect collapse does not get the attention it needs. We’re losing 1% of the world’s insect annually.

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing By choosing to transform how we grow food and what we eat – rather than letting climate change dictate the pace of change – we have so much to gain.

I wrote a piece for @theconversation.com on climate change, diets, and resilience. In high income nations we can go plant-rich now and harness the benefits or wait and likely climate change will force us our hand.

Midwest Carbon Zero Geraldton | Sustainability and climate solutions in the Midwest Midwest Carbon Zero a climate change and sustainability advocacy organisation based in Geraldton Western Australia. We support community and business with education and advocacy across the Midwest.

I’ve been building an all in one system for Midwest Carbon Zero using @notion.com. Website, projects, collaboration, governance, forms, automations, member management. Website is a low design affair, but this is the way to go for non profits.

Yeah but millions are coming off early as people upgrade … it’s a problem

Another Burgum order coldcocks solar and wind The Friday order by the Interior secretary on the “capacity density” of solar and wind projects is the latest in a series of restrictive moves by the Trump

The Trump Administration just issued a new order trying to kill solar and wind because they allegedly use too much land. But somehow this new fervor for "capacity density" won't apply to ethanol, which uses 100X as much land as solar per unit of energy.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The anti-science Trumpers may be planning to destroy two working satellites that provide vital measurements about carbon dioxide & climate (and data that forecasts crop yield, drought conditions, & more). They cost $750 million to make but only $15 million/yr to operate.

MethaneSat: the climate spy satellite that went quiet MethaneSat was developed to spot emission hot spots of invisible methane pollution from space. Without it, accurate methane monitoring will be incredibly difficult.

Who took out Methane sat?

Trump or UC Davis ag shill centre for cow methane is different?

A long-standing research collaboration to understand and conserve Western Australia’s marine biodiversity has been extended for a further five years to enable marine research to continue in areas of ecological importance along the Gascoyne coastline.

Surely right! FFS 🤦🏻

We compared land transport options for getting to net zero. Hands down, electric rail is the best The only way to reduce soaring transport emissions is to shift as much travel as possible to the lowest-emission option.

In Australia, we found electric rail is hands down the land transport mode with the lowest emissions intensity (the amount of greenhouse gas produced per kilometre travelled) for both passengers and freight

Australian Renewable Energy Agencies first report on electrifying road freight.

Will there be another one for rail which is the most efficient way to smash emissions according to researchers at UTS?

Belgium’s Arrest of IDF Soldiers Could Be a Watershed Moment Belgium’s detention of Israeli soldiers over alleged war crimes in Gaza has set a historic precedent for holding Israel to account for its war crimes. And it’s a sign that the tide is turning against Israel.

A witness to one of Japan's lesser-known WWII horrors has this final wish Eighty years after World War II, some of Japan's last survivors are still pushing for an apology and recognition. But time is running out.

A potent story. #foreigncorrespondent

"I would ask for [an apology] but the government doesn't seem to care," he says. "They have never accepted responsibility."
