I'm following reports of a big meteor coming down in the Gippsland area this afternoon. Gave some people a fright. Will be interested to see more news about this.

Figure 4: Global North Oil and Gas Company Profits vs Climate Finance Delivered to the Global South Since the Paris Agreement

This @oilchange.bsky.social report into how Aus, Norway, the US and Canada are going hell-for-leather on oil and gas is pretty incredible.

Strong criticism after Brazil opens up for oil exploration outside the Amazon Shortly before the climate summit in Brazil, the country has granted permission for oil exploration outside the Amazon's mouth. Environmental organizations are reacting strongly.

Production started from Bacalhau, Equinor’s largest international field 16 October 2025 08:00(CEST)

Oil from Bacalhau would emit millions of tons CO2 The Bacalhau oil field in Brazil is estimated to hold 2 billion barrels of oil, which are located 2000 metres below sea level. It is also stretched along the Brazilian coast and covers 800 kilometres of pre-salt areas. This not only makes it extremely demanding and expensive to extract the oil, it is also very harmful. Burning 2 billion barrels of oil would lead to high emissions, possibly upwards of 800 million tons of CO2, which is nearly double the annual Brazilian emissions. ‍ Bacalhau harms local fishing industry One of the biggest risks of continuing to explore the Bacalhau oil field is to harm the local population in the region, which subsequently is among the poorest in the country. They are dependent on tourism and fishing which are threatened by Equinor’s Bacalhau project. Possible oil spills, changes in the ecosystem while in development, and other risks to the environment would harm the livelihood of the local population in many years to come. ‍ Risk of losing tens of species Bacalhau is surrounded by a fragile ecosystem in an area which is regarded as a hotspot for biodiversity. In other words, there are huge risks of losing some of the most unique and valuable species in the ocean. According to the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) and the Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), there are 18 species of birds, 6 species of whales and dolphins, 4 species of sea turtles, and 25 fish species in Bacalhau that are threatened with extinction. ‍

Facts – Equinor in Brazil Equinor has been present in Brazil for more than two decades Brazil is a core area for the company’s long-term growth In addition to Bacalhau, Equinor is operator for the Raia development, another major ultra deepwater field development, expected to come on stream in 2028. Equinor is also expanding its investments in renewable energy, with onshore assets already in operation and more projects under development through its subsidiary Rio Energy

Absolutely nuts for Norwegian media to report on Brazil's 'hypocrisy' without mentioning Equinor SPINNING UP THE LARGEST FIELD IN BRAZIL SINCE 2000 - literally days after Equinor celebrated its production start

Another day in the petrostate!!!!! COP30's going to be cool

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

Glad you had a calm night in Kyiv!

A beautiful autumn mood video in the park, with birds still chirping. I notice how many creative people there are in Kyiv, writers, painters. Beauty and culture are deeply rooted in Ukraine.

Most Georgian Dream ex-officials are now exposed to have embezzled millions.

And it was “NGO transparency” that was the main issue for the prosperity in the country, not to mention that they were all transparent to begin with.

The strike against the Russian oil terminal in Tuapse has not only damaged port infrastructure, but also at least 2 oil tankers belonging to Russia's shadow fleet.

The message is clear: if you are an oiler trying to get Russian oil, then you better ask for a danger pay.

personally I just think it’s funny how I was raised conditioned to think Ukraine is inferior to many western countries who are now flattering monsters while using Ukraine as a shield that happens to have a beating heart. Turns out the disillusionment hits both ways

Why is it fascists are so unimaginative they have to just keep rehashing Nazi propaganda?

I mean, the combat mosquitoes at least were novel, but so many of your lies are just swapping Churchill for Zelenskyy in some Nazi screed by Lord Haw Haw.

Russians now expanding their executions to include even their female soldiers that refuse to advance at the front.
