@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaI think it’s pretty notable that Greta Thunberg has openly blamed capitalism for the climate crisis we’re in.
She argues that the current system, driven by fossil fuel interests, colonialism, imperialism, and exploitation, is fundamentally responsible for environmental destruction and social injustice.
While she has been a prominent figure for several years, her media presence has fluctuated. Recently, she has received renewed attention, particularly after high-profile events lik…

After all, look at some key elements of the MAGA coalition.
Fossil fuel interests don’t want anyone studying climate change.

The American Great Plains have produced a literary tradition as vast and complex as the landscape itself. Nebraska, with its braided rivers and endless horizons, stands at the heart of this tradition, having shaped some of the nation's most distinctive literary voices. From the rolling Sandhills to the fossil-rich badlands, from pioneer settlements to Native American territories, the state's…

@StephenRees@mas.toFrom the BC Green Party
Premier David Eby is seriously considering a fossil fuel megaproject that would sell out BC’s energy future to Donald Trump’s corporate allies.
The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline is backed by MAGA-linked billionaires and would transport fracked gas across Northern BC to a new LNG terminal.
Eby himself once said that we can’t keep building fossil fuel projects and still meet our climate goals. So why is his government even considering t…
@cdarwin@c.imSen. Mike Lee is trying to shoehorn a provision into Trump’s Tax Bill that would bring back large-scale federal public land sales for hundreds of thousands of acres.
If passed, this bill would give radicals in the Trump administration the power to declare our land “excess”
and sell it to private developers and fossil fuel interests.
Public Lands Warriors is trying to bring attention to Mike Lee and his billionaire buddies trying to sneak this crap into the Senate bill.

@markhburton@mstdn.socialMore depressing news as governments swallow propaganda from the nuclear power lobby.
Renewables won't deliver the power currently used, and projected, but nor will nuclear, which also depends on fossil fuels, uses a scarce and diminishing resource, and leaves a toxic legacy for which there is no adequate solution.
The only solution is radical energy descent.

The oldest ant fossil ever discovered had forward-facing scythe-like jaws it used to hunt, according to a new study in Current Biology.
Now the oldest ant specimen known to science, the roughly half-inch-long 113-million-year-old impression preserved in limestone was found in northeastern Brazil, and is a new genus belonging to the “hell ant” subfamily Haidomyrmecinae. Hell ants only lived during the Cretaceous period, which ended 66 million years ago. 🧵

@StephenRees@mas.toPut away pipelines, go with grids!
By David Suzuki with contributions from Senior Editor and Writer Ian Hanington
It’s good to see ideas such as increasing self-sufficiency and diversifying trade partners emerging in response to U.S. attacks on Canada’s economy and threats to our sovereignty. As usual, though, the fossil fuel industry and its supporters are taking advantage of this “crisis” to push for more oil and gas infrastructure, particularly pipelines.

Bitcoin mines—massive computing clusters generating cryptocurrency tokens—consume vast amounts of electricity. .... From mid-2022 to mid-2023, the 34 mines consumed 32.3 terawatt-hours of electricity—33% more than Los Angeles—85% of which came from fossil fuels. We estimated that 1.9 million Americans were exposed to ≥0.1 μg/m3 of additional PM2.5 pollution from Bitcoin mines"

Fact: Taking a BC Ferry from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island is a High CO2 experience, though if it's a full ferry, it's not terrible (~5kgCO2/passenger)
By 2031, BC Ferries will have replaced 18 ferries (big and small!) in 15 years, and nearly all will be 100% electric-ready.
They just announced they're doing the big ships next.
"Built with diesel-battery hybrid propulsion systems and designed with the capability to operate on full electric power in future, the NMVs are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and lower underwater radiated noise to better protect marine life. With greater capacity than the vessels they replace, the NMVs will offer more space for vehicles and passengers and upgraded amenities, supporting a more reliable and comfortable travel experience.”
The age of fossil fuels is ending. Any politician or lobbyist who says otherwise is either not paying attention, or bought.
