What’s the big deal with agriculture and climate change? 🌳 🚜 Shouldn't we be focused on stopping oil and other fossil fuels? Turns out, agriculture is responsible for as many emissions as the energy sector. For more on solutions, check out the DrawDown article:
Fixing food’s big climate problemdrawdown.org It surprises many people to learn that the food we eat, the farms that grow it, and the landscapes we’ve cleared all contribute to climate change. And contribute in a big way.Unfortunately, policymake...

Montreal's sponge parks, designed in a way to deviate as much rain water as possible away from the sewers, have saved a bunch of areas from flooding due to Beryl's rainfall. So you get really nice parks in a major city, with a bonus against flooding. They're making more of them now and I love it
Montreal sponge parks soak up the stormmontreal.ctvnews.ca After over 100 millimetres of rain pummelled Montreal Wednesday evening, some Montreal streets saw less flooding, and sponge parks played a big part in soaking up the precipitation.

knowing that the white house just signed a massive parkinson’s bill in july changes the entire tone of this story so much that this makes it wildly, horrifically offensive
Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

Again, Cambodia's most prominent environmental activists are sentenced to prison, this time for 6-8 years on charges of plotting against the government and insulting the king. Footage of the arrests is brutal, the international outcry is unanimous and the despair in Cambodia is wide-reaching.

It’s Canada Day, and many people bring out the fireworks. I always hated them, and wondered how everyone gave their children sparklers that get up to 2000°C, why not just give them acetylene torches to play with? When I worked for Treehugger I complained every year:

This is the sound of the Biden administration throwing the trans community under the bus on the anniversary of Stonewall.

To be fair the NYT is also responsible for the anti-trans turn: bsky.app/profile/toms...
Recap: 1. The Times runs a scandal piece on how Biden administration lobbied not to publish age guidelines for youth trans care, because those guidelines could be politically abused. 2. Pressed by the Times, the administration puts age limits on trans care much more severe than the guidelines.

Worth reading the first line of the screenshot and realizing that the very existence of trans people is considered "pornography" by the Project 2025 gremlins.
I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Did BP learn from the previous disasters? They sure did! Just smile and cut the ridiculously small check. "Separately, BP agreed this month to pay $125,000 to settle violations identified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration related to the accident."

Every accusation is a confession.
A reminder that over 700 million people live without electricity. No ac in a warming world, only fuel stoves bringing respiratory disease, no internet access for education. There is nothing moral about this implementation of AI.
The AI facility in Musk’s new Gigafactory in Texas will house 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. Each one consumes about 3,740 kWh annually. So *just to power the GPUs,* Musk will need 187GWh per year. This is higher annual consumption than some entire countries.

What’s the common thread in these extraordinary omissions and commissions? Power. It will take on the little guys: the pet owners and smallholders mistreating one or a few animals. But it won’t touch the people doing it on an industrial scale.
