Capturing CO2 From Air: To Keep Global Warming Under 1.5°C, Emissions Must Go Negative, IPCC Says - Inside Climate News
The UN’s latest global warming report made it clear that if the world is to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, society urgently needs to move away from fossil fuels completely. But to keep the planet from warming more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, ...

"Biomass absorbs CO2, and burning it and storing the carbon makes the technology carbon negative."

NO, it fucking doesn't.

We need to require that data centers be built with enough operating renewables + storage before any of the computers are turned on.

It shouldn't take AI to understand the concept of saving $$RealMoney$$™ and the planet both. #NoBrainer

🐘🐘Whitehead does call for less biomass imports BUT avoids elephant in room

Drax — the UK’s biggest single emitter — is being rebranded as a BECCS project, claiming to be “carbon negative” while burning imported forest biomass.

It’s climate greenwash, not GGR
bsky.app/profile/stop...
New research finds the Drax AI Data Centre would burn 2.5 MILLION tonnes of wood up to 2030, and then rising to 5 MILLION tonnes going forward

If approved, it means years more of Drax's dirty tree burning at the cost of forests, communities & our planet

"IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SH*TSHOW...IT IS OPEN REBELLION..."

Staff resignations and donor complaints followed when Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts defended Nick Fuentes, a pro-Nazi activist, on a Tucker Carlson podcast.

SCOTUS declined to hear the challenge meant to overturn Obergefell. Which means marriage equality stays. Heritage Foundation and other Christian nationalists were counting on this case to roll back rights. Welp…Not today!

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

This is an empty gesture that means nothing. Don’t fall for it. None of the Rule 6e exceptions for disclosure apply and besides, transcripts are just oral testimony - not docs, client lists or bank records. And giving Bondi the discretion to disclose “pertinent” transcripts, not all, is laughable.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said she will ask a federal court to unseal more grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

But those transcripts, which could take weeks to release, would constitute only a fraction of the evidence the FBI has. wapo.st/40TzAVW
Attorney General Bondi expected to seek release of Epstein grand jury testimony
The attorney general said she would ask a court Friday to unseal pertinent grand jury records. That’s a portion of what would be included in the Justice Department’s broader investigative file.

1. Common ground.
They say that if you have your health, you have everything.
2. Hypocrisy
So why are so many determined to take health care away?
3. Action
Organize! Then we won't have to take this any more.
