The fleet of Russian ships smuggling grain from occupied Ukraine is growing. Last week we identified two other vessels setting sail from Crimea to Iran. Read how we used open-source techniques to follow these ships on their secretive journeys. www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04...

It's a good thing that wind and solar are growing fast but I'm saving the champagne cork popping for when coal and gas are dropping fast

Just saw someone describe it as the Super Bowl Massacre and that’s exactly what it is. The slow march of Palestinians into Rafah for months, only to give them the “option” of leaving their country or being murdered…I don’t get how it’s remotely controversial to call this genocide.

Sickening stuff: The UK government has granted 24 new oil and gas licenses across the North Sea, to the likes of Shell and BP. Sir David King calls this 'a total reversal of the UK govt's commitment to reduce emissions and do what is necessary for the world.' www.theguardian.com/business/202...
‘Grossly irresponsible’: UK hands out 24 new North Sea oil and gas licenceswww.theguardian.com The move to grant 17 companies the right to drill for fossil fuels is ‘a pipe dream’ that will do little for energy security, say environmentalists

Listen to my interview with Dr Chris Kettle: Systems Under Stress, Trees, Forests, Food Human and Planetary Health - we have the answers, why are we not implementing them? Chris is Principal Scientist within the International organization Alliance Bioversity International & CIAT youtu.be/viIbePIP1QI
Dr Chris Kettle: Systems Under Stress, Trees, Forests, Food + Human and Planetary Healthyoutu.be In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with Dr Chris Kettle. Chris is Principal Scientist within the International organization Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT, one of the global CGIAR centers for Agricultural research for development.  Chris leads their work globally on restoration and the role of trees in transitioning food systems.  This is a critically important episode and Chris really dives into the complex interconnectivity between forestry, biodiversity, climate, food systems  security, knowledge and so much more.   Links to additional work & resources related to Dr Chris Kettle: www.myfarmtrees.org www.diversityforrestoration.org You can also look at the institutional webites https://alliancebioversityciat.org/ And the https://www.cgiar.org/ Chris is leading the restoration component of the naturepositive Initiative https://www.cgiar.org/news-events/news/africa-climate-summit-advanced-tree-restoration-pledges-but-a-big-seed-shortage-remains/ This recent FAO publication led by Dr Chris Kettle: https://www.fao.org/3/cc8955en/cc8955en.pdf You can find all Chris's publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8ViBluIAAAAJ&hl=en Actioning the knowledge we already possess in the science and indigenous communities, while taking a global instead of national perspective, has the potential to radically improve our prospects. This is the real challenge that we face today.   Chris offers a wealth of information on both the status quo and the potential for righting the wrongs of the past to fight back and try to conserve and regenerate global forests, while supplying the worlds food at the same time. In the next episode I speak to Honduran youth activist Ricardo Pineda who I heard speaking at COP28. It is a fascinating conversation that touches on justice issues and why he is now calling for research in climate interventions that could possibly save lives in his community.   I am also just about to edit the interview with sociologist Dana R Fisher about her new book, ‘Saving Ourselves, from climate shocks to climate action’. This is an unofficial sequel to the interview with Roger Hallam. There are parallel lines that we all need to comprehend.    Thank you to all supporters and subscribers. I am recording a lots of interviews at the moment and I appreciate all feedback, good and bad.   PREORDER COPOUT:  https://amzn.to/3SqI4ii   If you want to gain more insight into how these issues all connect together and actually fail at the political and structural level, then please do order my book COPOUT. It is available to order on Amazon and from a wide range of bookstores worldwide.

This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homelesswww.houstonchronicle.com Roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to volunteers with the loosely organized Food Not Bombs, which serves meals to people in need.
