Opinie | Zomergasten weg? Alleen vanwege pestbezuinigingen
Bezuinigingen NPO: Programmaโs als Zomergasten bieden ruimte voor broodnodige reflectie op de actualiteit. Dat dit soort programmaโs nu wegbezuinigd worden, is pestgedrag, stelt Joris Luyendijk.
"Voelt het goed, beste rechtse elite, deze winning streak? Vorig jaar VPRO Tegenlicht uit de lucht. Hoera! Dit jaar Zomergasten. Pats! Wordt het volgende doelwit Buitenhof? Nieuwsuur? Of gewoon de hele publieke omroep door de plee?" www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

โSilent epidemic of chemical pollutionโ demands radical regulatory redo, say scientists
An international team of scientists has issued a stark warning that current toxicology and chemical regulatory regimes are failing to protect public health and the environment from a host of toxinsโฆ
A team of 43 scientists says pesticide and plastic regulation needs a major overhaul. Full commercial formulationsโoften containing petrochemical waste and heavy metalsโcan be far more toxic than the tested active ingredients.
They call for stricter limits, full-formulation testing, & public data.

Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment
J. Timmons Roberts, Carlos R. S. Milani, Jennifer Jacquet & Christian Downie (eds)
Abstract
Climate obstruction involves intentional actions and efforts to slow or block policies on climate change that are commensurate with the current scientific consensus of what is necessary to avoid dangerous human interference with the climate system. With thirty-one lead authors coordinating twelve teams of more than one hundred total authors, this first-of-its-kind volume reviews obstruction efforts undertaken by fossil fuel industries, utilities, the transportation sector, agribusinesses, public relations firms, and organizations on the political far right. The chapters also examine the role and effects of the media in disseminating climate disinformation and misinformation. They assess climate obstruction efforts at the subnational level, in United Nations negotiations, across the Global South, and those aimed at adaptation. Finally, the reviews explore efforts to curb climate obstruction, including regulation and litigation as well as civil-society movements. This assessment shows that as climate action becomes globalized, efforts to obstruct it have become more deceptive, widespread, well-funded, and dangerous.
Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment is an #OpenAccess book.
You can download the chapters onto your e-reader for free.

Chapter 4
The Animal Agriculture Industryโs Role in Obstructing Climate Action
Kathrin Lauber, Viveca Morris, Jennifer Jacquet, Peter Li, Ina Mรถller, Silvia Secchi, Alex Wijeratna, Melina De Bona
Abstract
The greenhouse gas emissions of the global food system are on course to push global warming beyond 1.5ยฐC above preindustrial levels, with meat and dairy production predicted to be responsible for most food-related warming between 2023 and 2100. However, compared with other industries, agribusinesses have only recently begun to emerge as a target of public, scholarly, and regulatory scrutiny for their climate impacts. This chapter shows that actors profiting from animal agribusiness have been involved in climate obstruction since at least the 1990s, with evidence suggesting that their efforts expanded following the 2006 publication of the first major report on the climate impacts of livestock and accelerated dramatically in the decades that followed. The chapter identifies key actors, objectives, practices, and narratives that contribute to obstructing and delaying climate action as it relates to animal agriculture.
