@cdarwin@c.imJust 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024,
down from 36 a year earlier, a report has revealed.
Saudi Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter
and ExxonMobil was the largest investor-owned polluter.
Critics accused the leading fossil fuel companies of
“sabotaging climate action” and
“being on the wrong side of history”
but said the emissions data was increasing…

The Narwhal reports on a new study by Sierra Club BC that finds efforts to protect old growth forests in BC have largely failed since the ruling centrist NDP party has been in charge starting in 2013. The report found that "13,000 football fields worth of old-growth deferral zones were logged" in the past 4 years in BC. Meanwhile, premier David Eby has urged forestry production in BC to increase by 50% over 2024 levels.

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyElon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla pay plan wins shareholder approval -
That's paying Musk 9 times the total turnover of Tesla in 2024 (which was 1% higher than that in 2023). Sounds a bit over the top. It's also more than $100 for every person on earth. The combined result of the greediness of Musk and the craziness of Tesla's shareholders.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io"In a talk in November 2024, Starbase General Manager Kathy Lueders announced that SpaceX hoped to be able to catch a Starship upper stage sometime in the next 6 months and have as many as 25 launches in 2025.
This did not occur. Starship was launched just five times by mid-October, with no planned launches during the remaining months of 2025."
—Wikipedia Starship article
I've been pretty vocal about all of Starship being what's essentially a scam—yes, including the engineering behind it.
But there's always white knight tech people riding to the rescue of the Nazi billionaire even when it's obvious it's not working right.
I'm sure they'll reply to this post as well.

Gasification of waste and biomass🪵 could be an enormously helpful tool to make valuable circular or renewable chemicals. Yet, the list of failed gasification projects is long.
