A lot of Greenland ice is about to start melting, and as much as 2 meters sea level rise may already be unavoidable.

Australia plans to invest heavily in production of hydrogen, including production that consumes fossil fuels and will probably contribute to CO2 emissions.

It wants to use "renewable energy" funds for this project.

The core aim of this planet-roasting bullshit is to paint CO2 generation as acceptable on the expectation supposition that the CO2 will be captured. Will that really happen? What fraction will the hypothetical technology actually succeed in capturing, if it ever works? Is it ready for use at industrial scale at all now?

The loophole for cheating our future is that they will build the plant, and capturing all the CO2 won't actually be feasible, but they will insist on using the plant anyway "because we already paid for it."

US citizens: call on Congress to forbid Israel from using US aid funds for actions that trample Palestinians' human rights.

In my view, the fact that the trampling is done with US funds is not a central moral issue. Those actions would be equally bad if it did not benefit from US funds. But the US should not overlook them.
