The Trump administration is pushing "countries, financial institutions and businesses to roll back their climate change policies, using international forums ranging from the World Bank to stock market regulators." No concessions offered in return, just plain old-fashioned bullying.

That's excellent news. I agree with you and would add energy efficiency and conservation. There is also what can be called energy sufficiency / sobriety.

So much to be done to keep our beautiful planet habitable and enjoyable....

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

And what is the political response?
Weakening nature protection laws and scrapping conservation funding.

The new French PM resigning this was fast after naming his /new/ government was not in my cards.

Seriously, our beautiful country has become ungovernable. It's a bit like the village of Asterix the Gaul. Every little single argument is the occasion for a massive brawl.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 5d

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Everyone needs to be watching what's happening here in Chicago:

* About 300 fed agents invaded a 5 story apartment complex across from an elementary school

* Snipers rappelled down from Black Hawk helicopters

* Nearly all residents were removed - some children were dragged naked from their homes

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Attacking the Baltics and/or Poland sould be the last mistake Russia does.

What are they trying to win at that point ? And why ? Opening a new unwinnable front with NATO and the EU ?

This reminds me I should train myself on drones piloting...

Imagine being so abject that you burn pigsties to starve your ennemies.

Russia is a terrorist nation and it needs to be defeated and dismantled. Its leaders need to be trialed and sent to the guillotine.

Out of 10 pigsties, 8 were completely destroyed.

If you read French, please check out my latest blog post on the carbon, water and ground surface implications of your daily food choices.

Eating half as much meat as most people do nowadays is crucial if we are to survive.

Brendan Jones @brewenjon.bsky.social · 5d

“a third of greenhouse gas emissions come from the global food system and taming the climate crisis is impossible without changing how the world eats. Food production is also the biggest cause of the destruction of wildlife and forests and the pollution of water.”

Change your diet.

Camille Perrin @perrincam.bsky.social · 5d

Thinking of European Commission staff behind the Farm to Fork Strategy when they'll read the new #EATLancet report.... They had it all right, and it's a real shame the EU's blueprint for healthy, fair and environmentally friendly #FoodSystems was derailed.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
