Europe should treat energy security as defence policy
We must move beyond thinking solely in terms of efficiency and decarbonisation to prioritise resilience
"A clean, homegrown energy system with resilient infrastructure and storage is critical to securing the continent’s sovereignty."
Good piece from former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

An image of a prescribed burn with the following text: “Q: What is prescribed fire? A: Prescribed fire is when a piece of land is set on fire on purpose. The fire is kept within designated borders and is usually lower intensity than a wildfire.” A designated fire border is shown in the picture with a line.
An image of the aftermath of a prescribed burn with the words: “Q: Why would anyone light a fire on purpose? A: Prescribed fires can: Reduce fuels like dead trees, logs, and leaf litter, which makes future wildfires less intense; improve wildlife habitat; improve soil quality; destroy invasive species and help with reproduction of native species.”
An image of a fire truck on a road next to a fire, with the words:
“Q: How do you keep a fire within a certain area? A: Firefighters dig control lines around the planned burn area, or use existing roads and trails as control lines. During and after the burn, they patrol the lines to make sure the fire doesn’t escape.”
A comparison of post-prescribed burn and post-wildfire pictures, with a fair amount of trees still alive post-prescribed burn while almost all the trees post-wildfire are dead. The text reads:
Q: How is prescribed fire a climate solution? A: Prescribed fire is generally less intense than a wildfire, and it reduces the intensity of future wildfires. Less intense fire means less carbon released into the atmosphere, and more trees still alive to absorb CO2.”
Spring is coming, and prescribed fire season has started already in some parts of the country. Prescribed fire can reduce wildfire risk by removing hazardous fuels, improve wildlife habitat, reduce invasive species, improve soil quality, and much more. Check out the images to learn more!

Barrick Gold already operates the Veladero mine, where spills have raised contamination concerns, while projects like Minera San Jorge target glacier fed watersheds, risking irreversible environmental damage.

Argentina has nearly 17,000 glaciers covering more than 8,400 km², sustaining about 40% of the nation’s water basins and providing essential water to over 7 million people, especially in arid regions where glacier melt is the primary water source for communities, agriculture, and ecosystems.

DESTROYING WATER
Argentina's glaciers protect life itself, a proposed reform could open them to destruction. Argentina faces a new attempt to weaken its Glacier Protection Law, a key regulation that safeguards the country’s water sources amid climate crisis and expanding extractive industries.

Does anyone think our commercial fishing practices are sustainable?
Fundamental change is inevitable, and like the cop says, we can do it the easy or hard way.
It can start now, phased in sensibly, or a bit later, by catastrophic collapse.
Our stark choice.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

You are not alone! show support for climate action, talk to friends and neighbours about the climate emergency. More people are concerned than you may think - do not remain silent.

Forskning visar att människor underskattar hur många som faktiskt stöttar klimatåtgärder. När vi tror att vi är ensamma håller vi tillbaka. När stödet för klimatåtgärder blir synligt ökar vår vilja att själva agera. Prata om klimatet. Delta i aktioner!

Carney Government Knew Carbon Capture Was ‘Very Limited,’ Docs Show
Briefing notes obtained by DeSmog reveal the Carney government had major knowledge gaps about CCS even as it made the technology central to its climate plan.
SCOOP: Briefing notes obtained by @desmog.com show that Mark Carney's government had 'very limited' data on carbon capture and storage in the oil industry.
But Carney went ahead and made the dubious technology central to Canada's climate plan anyway.
