"Growth is a distraction from what truly matters, namely: poverty eradication and well-being for all. The economies of rich countries have grown far beyond what is necessary to allow people to flourish; they have become obese."

"Over the last 25 years, international air travel has increased significantly", mostly through "trips for leisure and visiting friends and family", despite its significant climate impact.
Its emissions are omitted from national statistics in nearly all countries.

Great tip for anyone who spends a lot of time in wild places, where there's a risk of picking up ticks: get yourself a ' Swedish Tick Lasso Trix'. They really work, removing the entire tick and leaving nothing embedded (so no risk of Lyme). Best 10 euro you'll ever spend. 🌎

One of the penalties of changing your mind about a topic is that it provokes a certain kind of glitter-eyed fanatic, who will see you thenceforth as the devil incarnate. From that day on, in my experience, they will devote a large part of their lives to hounding you. 🧵

But a few tens of thousands of years later, with biodiversity in freefall and climate change accelerating, we've clearly played our cards wrong as the risks of food security collapse keep increasing! (Choosing plant-based diets would help...)

A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

Well done Dorset Council (UK)! Buying a dairy farm for reforesting or rewilding is the way to go! It will cut down on water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and other climate impacts, biodiversity loss, water use - & improve human health!

Biden is the physical manifestation of the incapacity of the old, liberal order, as it confronts a reinvigorated extreme right. Mumbling liberalism was never going to be enough. Without a radical, uplifting left politics, we stand to lose everything.

The Government of Denmark had just agreed to a tax on livestock emissions. €40 in 2030, rising to €100 in 2035. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen says: "We will be the first country in the world with a CO2 tax on agriculture.” Looks like New Zealand is now distinctly behind in that race.
