Rare underwater find near Albany, WA. UWA divers recorded Braun’s wrasse, a tiny, cryptic reef fish seen fewer than 10 times worldwide. Not confirmed locally since 2009. After recent marine heatwaves, its survival matters. A strong case for long term Great Southern Reef monitoring.

Wood pellets or biofuel

Ships that need to be torpedoed
Companies like UK-based Drax have marketed wood pellets as a climate-friendly substitute for coal, despite mounting evidence that burning pellets releases more pollution and increases deforestation.

California didn't buy the arguments. Will Oregon or Washington? By @canopyoftitans.bsky.social.

So… a couple of weeks back, Murdoch’s The Australian platformed Bjorn Lomborg again. He’s the climate obfuscator. You’ll see in the bio that they give him, Bjorn is affiliated with the Hoover Institution. That’s an Atlas Network partner. There’s more…

BP seems to be pointing to a cracked window while the foundation of the house is quietly sinking. The attention given to the recent impairments in BP’s transition business is misdirected when the upstream business deserves just as much scrutiny. www.netzeroinvestor.net/news-and-vie...
Oil and gas assets account for the bulk of BP’s losses
Ahead of BP’s full-year results due tomorrow morning, new research suggests that fossil fuel holdings, rather than renewables, account for the majority of the company’s losses and impairments.

Going car-free is the best thing most people can do for climate. To reduce car dependency, cities should promote car-free living, supporting compact cities through policy, and investing in public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and shared mobility options.

Research points the way to a more climate-friendly, diverse, and desirable transportation system.

The fossil fuel corps, billionaires and banks set up the #AtlasNetwork thinktanks to preach the ‘free market” (eg. corporate domination). Now that climate disaster is here and solar, wind and EVs killing fossil off on free market price competition alone, they are doing fossil fascism. #Resist ☀️🌬️⚡️

We see this changing culture in our media, our language and in the battles we fight.

There is hardly a progressive politician to be found who would say immigrants should not be deported. No one will make the argument that being a melting pot made us great.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.
