Description of a call for feedback issued by the European Commission about the concept of "simplication of administrative burden in environmental legislation "
Statistics about the replies, showing close to 98% of the more than 112000 respondents are EU citizen
There would be lots to say about the framing ("burden" in the title?Really?), and the vagueness of the prompt (which regulation? What to simplify?)
My big takeaway also is the unbelievable amount of citizen replies, pushing against the idea of slashing more nature protection Is it even precendented?

Over the last few weeks, I've spoken to experts to dig into the details of the Commission's proposal for a 90% emissions reduction by 2040
For the series finale, @smorgan.bsky.social joined me to discuss what we've learnt and what happens next. Listen here: foresightmedia.com/story/sTA2kS...

Merlin Bird ID is a free app that helps you find more birds.
I added this one to my list on the #MerlinApp today and I feel like I caught a super rare pokemon, except it's much cooler because it's a real animal, and also it's a RAPTOR

EU must heed scientific advice, Ribera says as 2040 row deepens
The EUโs scientific advisers warned Monday that expected plans to outsource some emissions cuts would undermine the blocโs climate credibility.
NEW: The European Union should follow scientific guidance, @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu told POLITICO after the bloc's scientific advisory board criticized Brussels' expected plans to weaken its 2040 climate target.

Silence Is Not a Strategy When It Comes to Sustainability | Opinion
In today's context, silence is not neutrality. It is a strategic risk.
"The risk of saying the wrong thing is real. But the risk of saying nothing is greater. Staying silent limits the ability of business to shape tomorrow's economy. It cedes the narrative to those who profit from breakdown and disinformation." @cisl.cam.ac.uk @climateclg.bsky.social bit.ly/3Ed4kJs

Another example of first mover disadvantage, as the incumbents - lagging behind compliance delay - will get 3 more years to milk out their stranded assets, meaning cleaner options will remain more comparatively more expensive, longer. Some even have the audacity of calling it simplification ๐

How do you define CDR? If you keep it open (both technological and natural), then "alongside" is an incentive at restauring degraded ecosystems and natural carbon sinks. Provided that it's not offsetting, but additional to mitigation, that is

I agree with your overall assessment, but the demand side/market creation aspect appear a bit weak to make clean products really cost competitive. The proposition doesn't get us out of fossil dependency as it stands, but there are good propositions that can put EU industry in a better direction

First severe human case of bird flu in US shows 'concerning' mutation, CDC says
The CDC has confirmed a total of 66 human cases of bird flu across the United States as of Friday, although the number is believed to be higher.
You know you live in a dystopia when the perspective of a new global outbreak sounds actually much better than the threat of upcoming nuclear war, with an historically unprecedented US-Russia coalition firing first

supply chains for sorting, collecting & retreating have been dismantled so fast, creating big gaps where there used to be effective & efficient solutions. Milk's a good example, with empty bottles collection that used to be the norm & cleaning facilities that have massively shut down few decades ago

What's fascinating, from a historical perspective, is how fast & deeply plastic has become undetachable from our lives. But it's been less than a century since it has massively spread out. My great grand parents generation, more or less. Amazing how fast we forgot how they did without it!

That's an amazing chart! Looking at it, I can't help but notice the large variation in political difficulties for each (e.g. sharing info across value chain is likely "easier" than aligning tax regime with electrification imperative), and I wonder what happens if parts of the policy pie are missing
