This Nakba Day, a “delayed” shipment of weapons to Israel is not enough. An immediate, lasting ceasefire in Palestine and end to all occupation and apartheid is the only path to peace, security, and justice through the climate crisis. #StopArmingGenocide bit.ly/nakba76action

I’ve been looking forward to talking about BYD on the show for a while. @paologerbaudo.bsky.social was the perfect guest for it.

We dig into BYD’s vertically integrated production model and how the US campaign against Chinese automakers looks a lot like what it did with Japan in the 1980s.

@craignewmark.bsky.social Do you like a proper well run British pub?

I need to dive into the actual report here but Microsoft make a point of excluding a huge proportion of their scope 3 emissions in headline numbers so it could way, way worse than this still (the 'management criteria' (augh) for scope 3)

Last summer was also close to recent historical averages in Finland. We haven't earned this based on our GHG emissions reductions, albeit the targets are "ambitious".

At this point 2024 is more likely than not (~62% chance in Berkeley Earth) to beat 2023 as the warmest year on record, and virtually certain (>99% chance) to be one of the top 2 warmest years.

He was also like “hey if your company gets to be a certain size the government should simply be on its Board of Trustees and the workers should too” In the 1930s he forced his own board end a ban on the workers in his factories from organizing under the Transport and General Workers Union.

Like......this isn't something that is even *close* to existing - not even as a bubbling undercurrent or side issue. Climate people are almost universally savvy enough to recognise that (a) it's a bad allocation of effort and (b) it's insane to provoke her fandom or (c) are fans themselves

Half of the people in a country like Finland where people fly the second most in the world treat flying as a non-issue because they don't do it in a given year. The growth of this sector is so extremely top-heavy with the points programs and among the socio-economic elites that it has to be told.

One of the things that's interesting about this is that we've stigmatized "public housing" (and perhaps public goods more broadly) that the policymakers here feel a need to run away from calling it what it is. It's "social housing" now.

When assessing anything regarding the contemporary #EtonDisordered colonialised British state reality it's inevitable that Honest, Open and Transparent = Brutal

Britain is an intricate basket case comprehensively woven over 4 decades of seamlessly resolute, fundamentally dishonest, neoliberal dogma

This is an absolutely brutal assessment of UK climate policy progress from the official body the OEP

🟥Progress is "limited"
🟥Prospects of meeting targets "largely not on track"

🔊"emissions reduction rates must quadruple within eight years to meet targets"

Without meaning to be gloomy or melodramatic, living like that would kill many people now. Totally unprepared for REAL life. Me included. 48 years ago I spent the whole summer around Lake Inari; I would have enjoyed such winter company then. Now it would kill me.

Privatisation and austerity don't cut costs. They merely transfer them from corporations and the state to individuals. Sometimes with devastating consequences.

New research write-up featuring the brilliant @pmbigger.bsky.social and colleagues.

“The US plays an oversized role in military carbon emissions – and supplies Israel with billions of dollars of military aid, weapons and other equipment that it deploys in Gaza and the West Bank.”
