The President of Ireland calling for the UN to bypass the Security Council and mount an international military defence of an aid corridor to the Gaza Strip.

Let's do it people. Let's show Israel that genocide by Israelis is as unacceptable as genocide by Nazis, Serbs, Arabs or anyone else.

25 tonnes of aid dropped into Gaza amid IDF 'pause' Two Jordanian and one Emirati plane have dropped 25 tonnes of humanitarian aid over Gaza, the Jordanian army said in a statement, after Israel earlier announced a "tactical pause" in fighting amid a d...

That's 12 grams of food per person in Gaza.

To put that in perspective, a 4-bar KitKat weighs 41.2 grams.

It's about the weight of 30 peanuts.

Woefully inadequate.

The genocide continues.

โ€˜Total infiltrationโ€™: How plastics industry swamped vital global treaty talks Petrostates and well-funded lobbyists at UN-hosted talks are derailing a deal to cut plastic production and protect people and the planet

With just 9 percent of plastic being recycled , global cap on plastic production may sound like a logical way to protect people and planetary health.

Unsurprisingly, those that make plastic don't agree.

The monitoring station on Mauna Loa provides the longest direct measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Trump wants to shut it down, which is like taking the batteries out of your screaming smoke alarm and pretending the house isn't on fire. #climatechange

Trump administration says it won't publish major climate change reports on NASA website as promised The Trump administration has made it harder for people, local and state governments to find critical climate change reports.

As I say here, โ€œThis document was written for the American people, paid for by the taxpayers, and it contains vital information we need to keep ourselves safe in a changing climate, as the disasters that continue to mount demonstrate so tragically and clearly.โ€

Degrowth can work โ€” hereโ€™s how science can help Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon economic growth as an objective.

Many ecologists seem to be rallying to the politically-led aligning of nature recovery with economic growth

But with only vague notions about natureโ€™s economic role

Degrowth is what is needed from the rich nations - to really allow nature to recover

The 45Q tax credit in the Republican spending bill pays oil companies $80 of taxpayer money per ton of CO2 that they squirt into old wells to push up more oil. This could well mean *paying oil companies to pollute the climate*, to the tune of ~$400 per ton of CO2 emitted. A negative carbon tax.

The more I think about it, the more insane it is that the entire climate movement isn't mobilizing against data centers. They are clearly a way to continue, if not expand, fossil fuel use, they are extremely water intensive, they prey on desperate communities without creating many long-term jobs 1/

Republicans and Democrats Finally Agree on Nuclear. Itโ€™s the Industry Thatโ€™s the Problem. The atomic age is perpetually on the verge of dawning.

Nuclear advocates have mostly shouted their environmentalist opponents into submission, but it turns out that didn't solve the real problem, which is that the nuclear industry is a f'ing disaster with long, rich history of subsidies built on false promises, failures, & cost overruns.
