"Under the plan, Trump would personally chair an Orwellian “Board of Peace” that would rule over #Gaza, with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair at his side."

Since 2017, the Int'l Energy Agency has told the world the fossil fuel industry can reduce its emissions of toxic, planet-warming methane at little to no cost to itself. But industry keeps failing to clean up its act. Methane emissions are still rising in lockstep with production. bit.ly/47YXaVt

A graph showing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector rising in lockstep with production of these fossil fuels. That suggests the industry is failing to take steps to reduce methane emissions along its supply chain.

Breaking: The Net Zero Banking Alliance is dead.

Voluntary alliances never could solve the climate crisis. They were a delay tactic and a lot of greenwashing cover. It is not in the DNA of the world's biggest banks to voluntarily lead. They must be FORCED to do so.

Not only is Steven Miller supercharging the deportation machine, he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars off of its cruelty.

Seems like an excellent idea.

In Germany, plug-in panels are sold at supermarkets, "renters have a legal right to balcony solar," & the tech has been proven safe. Almost 10% of households have plug-in solar.

We need this in the US, too.

Column | Can’t put solar panels on your roof? Plug-in ‘balcony solar’ may be for you.

Balcony solar promises to cut energy costs and grid reliance for renters and apartment-dwellers. I did a trial run at my home.
