Trump is pushing allies to buy US gas. It’s bad economics – and a catastrophe for the climate


The current US administration wants to protect fossil fuel profits, slow the clean energy transition and curb China’s influence — whatever the cost to allies or the climate.

it actually make sense, and has been known for a while, why they are invading ukraine, less reliance on russian oils and minerals have gotten vlad very concerned and flailing about his hold on the world. thats why he invaded ukraine he needs thier resources and upped his propaganda machine, and pressured his russian agents in the west. better of gettin it from places like china instead of volatile russia.

Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?


One day it struck me that the world would be a very different place if environmental crimes were treated in the same way as murders. So, why aren’t they? And should they be?

At the moment such crimes can, mistakenly, feel distant and abstract. If someone came into your flat and set fire to your furniture, stole your valuables, killed your pet, added poison to your water … what would you do? You’d be terrified. You’d go to the police. You might want revenge. You’d certainly want justice. It would be entirely obvious to you that a crime had been committed.

in reply to grimpy

I don't know what you mean by "like murder".

Do I think we need more capital punishment? Absolutely not. We should never kill person that's already restrained from doing harm, even if their intent is clear.

Do I think there could be more meaningful liability? Yes. I think restorative justice means not just MUCH heavier fines (large percent of gross income for the entire period they are in violation) that are earmarked for environment restoration / pollution control efforts, but also time spent doing the work, on-site to restore / clean / contain for everyone in the decision/authority chain, across organizations.

I also think anyone that has been convicted/punished from wrong environment decision/action more than once could be subject to monitoring, publication, and shaming. Whatever education is part of the restorative justice is not enough, and society has to engage in prevention as a defense.

They should be treated more as "crimes against persons" than "property crimes": probably.

EV adoption surges in developing nations, challenging oil demand narrative


cross-posted from: piefed.social/post/1371452

There’s a comforting story that oil bulls like to tell themselves to stave off worries about the future: While the privileged few in Europe and California might have lost their minds over electric vehicles, billions of drivers in the Global South are readying themselves to provide the next wave of petroleum demand.

Those who believe this might want to have a look at the cars and two-wheelers that people are actually buying right now. Far from trailing the rich world in their enthusiasm for battery cars, developing nations are surging ahead.


[...]

Things are moving even faster in nations wholly dependent on imports. More than three-quarters of the value of vehicles brought into Nepal, Sri Lanka and Djibouti last year was purely electric. Import shares in Ethiopia and Laos were 40 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. Plug-in sales increased by 60 per cent in developing countries as a whole in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency.

Harnessing technology and global collaboration to understand peatlands


Crowdsourcing photos is a neat way to gauge the health of those ecosystems. I've quoted some excerpts from the article below.

A link to the study: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ae06…

Peatlands are among the world’s most important yet underappreciated ecosystems. They are a type of wetland that covers a small fraction of the Earth’s land, while containing the most carbon-rich soils in the world.

Healthy peatlands shape water cycles, support unique biodiversity and sustain communities. Yet for all their importance, we still lack a clear picture of how peatlands are changing through time.

When peatlands are drained, degraded or burned, the carbon they hold is released into the atmosphere. More than three million square kilometres of wetlands have been drained by humans since 1700, meaning we have lost a huge amount of carbon sequestration potential globally. This makes it all the more important for us to understand and conserve remaining peatlands.

Our study, called The PeatPic Project, used smartphone photography to collect data. We connected with peatland researchers around the world via social media and word of mouth and asked them to collect photographs of their peatlands during 2021 and 2022. We gathered more than 3,700 photographs from 27 peatlands in 10 countries.

We analyzed these photographs to look at the plant colour, telling us how green leaves are across the year, and providing rich information on the vegetation growing there. Changes in green leaf colour indicate when plants start their growing season.

They also indicate how green or healthy plants are, how much nutrient plants take up and when they turn brown in the autumn. Colour shifts can also signal changes in moisture or nutrient conditions, temperature stress or disturbance.

Prospects Dim for Denmark’s Renewable Energy Star


Orsted, which helped create and dominated the offshore wind industry, has felt a huge impact from these setbacks. The company said last week that it would lay off 2,000 people, or 25 percent of its staff, over the next two years.

Instead of lining up new, multibillion-dollar wind farms to build in shallow waters around the globe, Orsted will mainly focus on finishing those it has under construction and managing them or selling them off.

Orsted said 235 of the 500 layoffs planned for this quarter would be in Denmark

Wood Mackenzie, an energy consulting firm, forecast that less than 50 percent of the cumulative targets set by national governments, excluding China, for offshore wind for the end of the decade will be achieved.

The Istanbul Bridge's maiden voyage, originally expected to take 18 days, was delayed by two days due to a storm off the coast of Norway but the ship still reached Europe earlier than the 40 to 50 days it takes freighters going through the Suez Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope.

The new Northern Sea Route, running entirely through Arctic waters and within Russia's exclusive economic zone, can now be navigated by ships due to global warming.


in reply to dumnezero

Yeah. Two years ago, mainstream studies were estimating 3°C by 2100 - and it's well documented at this point how climate scientists deliberately underestimate predicted rates of warning to avoid being seen as alarmist.

At this point I agree with 2°C by 2040 and bet on 3°C by 2050. 5°C by 2100, 10°C if some of the worst case feedback loops exist.

Brazil’s first private Amazon road paves new trade route to China as pro-deforestation mindset prevails


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44101271

Archived
  • Brazil’s government has signed a 30-year contract to privatize a section of the BR-364 highway, a key part of its plan to create an overland corridor to Peru to streamline commodity exports to China.
  • Critics warn that expanding the highway into well-preserved rainforest risks repeating its history by attracting illegal loggers and land grabbers, a pattern that previously cleared vast areas for agriculture.

[...]

Fueled by soybean, corn and beef production, [the Brazilian state of] Rondônia is now one of Brazil’s leading agribusiness states, where a pro-deforestation mindset prevails, rooted in a population largely disconnected from the forest, rivers and traditional Amazonian culture. This view gained renewed momentum under Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president from 2019-2022, who won all 52 of Rondônia’s municipalities in both the 2018 and 2022 elections.

Cutting across Rondônia, BR-364 has become a key route for moving grain, beef and minerals to ports on the Madeira River in Porto Velho. From there, commodities from Brazil’s central-west region are shipped downriver to foreign markets via the Atlantic Ocean.



The disasters we talk about shape our priorities and determine our preparedness


In December 1989, the United Nations declared Oct. 13 International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. At the time, the aim was to make disaster-risk reduction part of everyday thinking worldwide.

Today, this mission is more urgent than ever as disasters strike more often and with greater force.

And although substantial progress has been made, there is still much to achieve in reducing disaster risks and their impacts.

One of the main culprits for overlooking certain disasters is the way we talk about them. We tend to focus more on the narratives surrounding rapid-onset events — wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes — versus long-term crises like climate change.



Russia’s Arctic Sea route sells speed at the planet's expense, another new study finds


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44071783

Archived

A recent study published in Nature Communications by Pengjun Zhao, Yunlin Li, Caixia Zhang and co-authors examines how the opening of Arctic shipping routes is set to reshape not just the global shipping traffic, but global carbon emissions. The research points to possible environmental advantages from shorter routes, but also reveals hidden risks that complicate the promise of this new era in maritime trade.

Here is the study published in Nature

Key points:

  • A Shorter Route Doesn’t Guarantee a Cleaner Route: The Arctic shipping route can cut some journeys by up to 40%, particularly between Northern Europe and Northeast Asia, but efficiency gains may be offset by induced shipping demand and shifts in global fleet patterns.
  • Arctic Emissions Could Surge: Maritime emissions within the Arctic could rise sharply, from 0.22% to as much as 2.72% of global shipping emissions, creating a new climate hotspot.
  • Heavy Emitters Set to Dominate: Oil, gas, and chemical tankers are expected to make up the bulk of NSR traffic, amplifying the carbon footprint of rerouted shipping flows.
  • Policy Matters More Than Distance Saved: The study finds that relying on current IMO targets or Green Corridors only modestly reduces emissions. Only a robust Net-Zero strategy with cleaner fuels, caps, and regional implementation could fully offset added Arctic emissions.
  • Risks of Carbon Inequality: Route shifts may concentrate emissions in specific areas while reducing them elsewhere, creating localized “hot spots” of pollution exposure.
  • Technological & Environmental Constraints: Short-term fuel savings may be undermined by Arctic-specific challenges such as extreme weather, heavy fuel oils, spill risks, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory gaps.

The findings in the study do support claims that the Northern Sea Route is a shorter and cheaper alternative to existing shipping routes. However, the study is only the latest to sound the alarm over the potential environmental and safety risks inherent to the route.

In recent weeks, the Bellona research group presented their findings from years of analysis into the dangers posed by the Northern Sea Route. You'll find a video on the linked site for some of the main findings.

‘We are witnessing a fire-sale of the world’s rainforests’ – global banks earn billions from deforestation


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44051179

Archived
  • US banks earned the most globally, making $5.4 billion, with Vanguard, JPMorgan Chase and BlackRock topping the list. In the US, the SEC’s climate-related financial disclosure rules remain suspended, and attempts to pass the FOREST Act, an import regulation like the UK’s law banning imports grown on illegally deforested land, have stalled.
  • EU banks generated $3.5 billion, led by BNP Paribas and Rabobank, while UK banks made $1.2 billion, with HSBC, aberdeen Group and Schroders at the top. The EU’s flagship deforestation law, due to enter into application at the end of 2025 has already been delayed by 12-months [...] and remains at risk of additional delays.
  • Chinese financial institutions made $1.2 billion, almost entirely from credit-related deals and fees – despite the country’s green finance policy requiring banks to restrict lending for companies with ESG concerns. In China, Green Finance Guidelines introduced in 2022 could be utilised to outline how banks should identify, monitor, prevent and control their environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. However, China remains the biggest international financier of companies that trade and produce goods linked to deforestation.
  • Together, banks in all other countries including Indonesia and Brazil earned $15.9 billion.
  • The UK passed a law in 2021 prohibiting the use of products linked to illegally deforested land, but it has yet to come into fully force. Once it does, the Treasury must conduct a review of the UK’s role in financing global deforestation.

The world isn't getting better despite 'despite some conflicts and crisis'. The world is getting worse through design. The biggest obstacle right now is that most people still refuse to attack the satus quo. How can't it be obvious by now that our governments act AGAINST our interest? How can people still tell themselves that they do enough by voting?


Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why


Offsets are tradable credits from projects that claim to reduce emissions, either by avoiding them or by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Businesses and countries trade these credits — each representing the equivalent of one tonne of CO2 — to ‘neutralize’ their own emissions.

Although conceptually appealing, this reliance on offsets has fatal flaws. In practice, it’s difficult to ensure that they represent real emissions reductions rather than ‘hot air’, with the claimed climate benefits existing only on paper. Equally challenging is ensuring that emission reductions are ‘additional’, meaning that they would not have occurred without the incentive provided by the sale of carbon credits. (...)

This results in more emissions, delays the phase-out of fossil fuels and diverts scarce resources to false solutions.

OK, to go into some more detail: The big car makers could actually make it if their management wants to. They have invested a bit into electrical technology, though by far not enough.

Then there are companies like Bosch which have developed electrical technology since a long time. Bosch is today one of the most important suppliers of eBike drive components.

But what is the far bigger problem for industrial policy are the car companies' suppliers, of which many are still focused on 100% combustion engines and the parts around them. They have no future. And unfortunately, they have a disproportionate economic share in entire regions.

While fascism is definitely going to be the solution here, it's worth noting that it will result in a lot of top talent fleeing the US. Meanwhile, the US has no hope of competing with China on raw labour power given it has a far smaller population. However, I'd argue the real competition is going to be around high tech and that's precisely where highly educated people who are already starting to flee would play the decisive role. China is already implementing mass automation solutions at scale today, and if US leadership expects to compete with that using slave labour, they're going to be in for a surprise.

Teachers scrambled after ICE released tear gas outside a Chicago elementary school


Chicago teachers said they’re dealing with traumatized students in underfunded schools — while the Trump administration spends millions to militarize American cities.

For the last month, the Trump administration has kept Chicago under siege. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a 15-year-old U.S. citizen earlier this week after unleashing tear gas into a crowded residential neighborhood. Earlier in October, masked federal agents raided a five-story apartment building in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Chicago and zip-tied naked children as they dragged their parents away.

The Trump administration claims that Chicago is unsafe and needs order, despite the fact that the city experienced its lowest homicide rate in 60 years this summer. But instead of investing in underfunded schools or attempting to eradicate poverty, which have been shown to increase public safety, the administration is pouring millions into the militarization of American cities and fighting a court battle to federalize the National Guard in Chicago.

I've been thinking lately about flow control. That's a feature of some networks where a receiver can tell a sender to slow down its sending rate to match the receiver's processing rate.

In TCP flow control, the receiving host returns a receiving buffer size in its acknowledgement segment, so the sending host know how much data it can send without overflowing the buffer.

I wonder if there are ways that a receiving ActivityPub protocol server could tell the sending server to slow down? Maybe we could reuse some of the RateLimit headers.

Another option would be a special header that says how big your incoming activity queue is. "I have a very long processing queue right now, please keep stuff in your outgoing queue for a while."
