Trump’s β€˜gas-guzzling’ parade will produce planet-heating pollution costs, analysis says Among other concerns, the US military parade will produce as much pollution as created to heat 300 homes for a year

Trump’s US Army birthday parade this weekend will produce the same amount of ghg emissions as 300 homes produce in 1 year, according to β€˜
@ips-dc.org. The parade is due to include more than 6,000 soldiers, 49 aircraft and 128 vehicles.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.

Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year?

For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand

Chartbook 372 "We create our own reality" - Trump's delirious negative-sum populism, or how the Empire comes home. As Trump’s erratic and extreme trade policy shakes the world economy, the basic question of this week is the classic question of realistic political analysis: Who benefits?

Defensie wil uitzondering op milieuregels om te groeien 'voor het vaderland' Er moeten niet alleen tienduizenden militairen bij komen, maar die mensen moeten ook ergens wonen en trainen, zegt staatssecretaris Tuinman.

Militaries are already exempted from a wide range of EU environmental laws and standards; the rush to rearm in Europe has now encouraged the Dutch #military to seek dedicated legislation supporting this environmental exceptionalism nos.nl/artikel/2561...
