I have been reporting on deforestation in Brazil for years.
Last year, along with @aliceross.bsky.social and Naira Hofmeister, I decided to dig into beef giant JBS’s flagship promise: to eliminate deforestation from its Amazon supply chain by the end of 2025.
So what’s actually changed?
The decision regarding Energy Transfer v Greenpeace about the activism against the Dakota Access Pipeline is out. Not only will the decision likely bankrupt Greenpeace US, but it will set a precedent that could limit free speech by climate groups & other NGOs.

This is quite something 📉
Elon Musk’s shift to far-right alliances is fuelling climate denial across the U.S. and Europe, undermining climate action while boosting extremist parties like Germany’s AfD. Read

New from UE:
The UK is exporting thousands of tonnes of a toxic weedkiller called diquat, even though its use has been banned here for years. More than half goes to Brazil.
We spoke to the Brazilian farmers poisoned with this dangerous export.

A historic agreement that has helped curb deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon for nearly twenty years is under threat from big agribusiness

Earlier this month, I wrote about Amazon Haul, the company's Temu-alike. As I wrote here, I suspect Amazon would prefer to get to the point where they can disclaim any implied promise of quality or fitness, and make it hard or impossible to return such goods too.

He even called it Diddly Squat, which I assume is a reference to the inheritance tax bill he was anticipating.

I'd missed the extent to which Jeremy Clarkson has really gone off the deep end (again).
Reeves and Starmer “want to carpet bomb our farmland with new towns for immigrants and net zero windfarms", apparently.

Even the most basic court records can be inexplicably hard to get hold of if you weren't in the room - @georgegreenwood.bsky.social is right that the UK needs a US PACER-style system
Five years ago, as campaigners fought to get a global plastic treaty off the ground, 30 companies involved in plastic – from Exxon to Veolia – got together to launch a $1.5 billion organisation to “end plastic waste”.
So how have they been doing? 🧵

The big petro companies have been running a high-profile campaign to "end plastic waste." A new investigation shows that, during the campaign, these companies have produced 1000X more plastic than they have cleaned up. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/11/20/a...
Just some oil industry execs explaining to their peers that climate change was a massive threat in 1984 and then doubling down for the next 40 years, nothing to see here
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste was set up by industry, aiming to spend $1.5bn on tackling plastic pollution. @zdboren.bsky.social and @emmahoward.bsky.social found that just five of its members produced 1,000 times more plastic than it's cleaned up unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/11/20/a...
