Under #Trump, #EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including #cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

If you are against animal exploitation but won't go vegan because fear of missing out on all the things that are not vegan, try to focus on the positive side when you chooce vegan: you are doing the right thing, helping the animals and the planet. It's a just cause.
Let's stop together making up justifications for something cruel.

Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.
We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.
We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.
Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs

This is bad news, obviously, but let’s not pretend things weren’t already terrible. Led by the Biden administration, the US became the world’s #1 producer of fossil fuels.
That’s what you get when short-sighted capitalists take complete ownership of the political system and the government — under both parties.
Now it will just get worse.

Trump is a disaster. No question about that. But our troubles did not begin with him.
Corporate Democrats are just as eager to sell us out and destroy everything for the sake of Business As Usual, Wall Street, and Big Oil.
Listen to the clip below from an interview Barack Obama gave last year.
He says climate change might be a problem, but we can handle it. Although there's no way now to keep global warming below 2°C, that shouldn’t be so bad. And if we work hard, we might be able to stay at around 3°C … but the important thing is, stop worrying! Don't complain about the system. Everything is under control.
This is absolutely criminal. That much extra heat will destroy modern civilization. Billions of people will die, along with millions of species of plants and animals going extinct. The world as we know it will end.
There still *could* be a way to prevent all that. But it requires system change. The end of capitalism. It requires #Degrowth.
And no one in a position of power wants to hear that.

What climate crisis? I don't see any climate crisis. Do you see a climate crisis?

More than 17,000 people in Canada’s western Manitoba province were being evacuated on Wednesday as the region experienced its worst start to the wildfire season in years.
“The Manitoba government has declared a province-wide state of emergency due to the wildfire situation,” Manitoba’s premier, Wab Kinew, told a news conference. “This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people’s living memory.”
The climate crisis has made wildfires in Canada more frequent and intense. The country has been hit with devastating fires in recent years, including in 2023, the most destructive on record.
There are now 134 active fires across Canada, including in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. Half are considered out of control.

Millions of People Depend on the Great Lakes’ Water Supply. Trump Decimated the Lab Protecting It.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

💣 💥 How the #Military_Industrial_Complex Affects OUR #POLLUTION_CRISIS | #ROOT_CAUSE OF MAJOR #POLLUTION IS #MILITARY_EMISSIONS [aka #MAN_MADE POLLUTION ??]
THE WEF (NAZI) FEAR MONGERS CONVENIENTLY LEFT OUT THE ROOT CAUSE 99.99% OF CLIMATE CHANGE = #USA AND #PROXY_WAR = #MILITARY_EMISSIONS!!
1. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/9id-a1Zm_0I
One of the Largest #EMITTERS of #POLLUTION (aka Climate Change) is the #Military and therefore the NEXT STEP is that we NEED TRANSPARENCY of Military Emissions AND THOSE EMISSIONS (POLLUTION) NEED TO BE #REDUCED ...2 decades ago!
What is a real threat is climate change’ — This U.S. Army vet is calling out the military for being one of the ‘largest emitters’ of carbon emissions.
The potential climate impact of the War on Terror is staggering, according to U.S. Army veteran Erik Edstrom. Edstrom is a West Point graduate, author, and former U.S. Army infantry officer who got out of the military after serving Afghanistan to study climate change and finance at Oxford University. Edstrom says the 20-year-long Afghanistan War contributed enough carbon emissions to kill multitudes of people. His assessment is based on studies such as one published in Nature Communications, which estimated that approx 4,400 metric tons of CO2 emissions is enough to kill one person.
The U.S. Department of Defense is required to report its energy use to the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program. In FY2020, total estimated DoD greenhouse gas emissions based solely on fuel usage data were more than 51 million metric tons of CO2. That figure includes emissions from standard day-to-day operations as well as emissions from non-standard operations such as combat support, law enforcement, emergency response, and spaceflight. Edstrom says there’s more to be concerned with than just operating emissions.
Edstrom says the U.S. Department of Defense budget, which in fiscal year 2021 was more than $703 billion, is bolstered by fear. He thinks Americans’ fears are misguided. Edstrom thinks the future military will be more electric, but says requiring the military-industrial complex to report the full scope of its emissions, beyond just fuel usage, is a crucial step in getting there.

A rather poignant commentary on #war and the #environment
Because of radio frequency jamming, fiber optic #drones are being used by #Russia and #Ukraine on the frontlines
They just spool the fiber out as they fly
Apparently some areas look like giant spider webs everywhere from the endless #drone flights
And #birds are now using the waste of war to make their nests

An EPA complaint filed under the Biden administration alleged that a harmful disinfectant was being used without proper protection at an ICE facility in California.
Last week, the case — filed against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor — was dropped without explanation.

My new crackly pot inspired another blog post because 500 characters just isn't enough.
"The cracks have a beautifully raw quality, like a dried lake bed or elephant skin. They’ve come to feel like a map of this place: a visual echo of our fractured geology, our sinkhole-prone foundation, our porous aquifers and eroding coasts. The fragility of the sig surface mirrors the fragility of the land itself."
