Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from just 32 fossil fuel firms, study shows | Critics accuse leading firms of sabotaging climate action but say data increasingly being used to hold them to account
These are Scope 3 Category 11 emissions, corresponding to "use of sold products", however this has been modified to quantify emissions from each fossil fuel company’s net production of oil, gas, or coal as opposed to sold products.

'Hold them to account' makes it sound like they at least had to own up and honestly admit it. Maybe they have, while simultaneously funding climate denialism, us politicians for denial, and otherwise funding campaigns to deny harm from hosts of pollutants, many systematic at this point, poisoning everything.
Insect populations are down 90 pc since the 90s, something is fundamentally wrong, they know their parts in it, and pay to make sure we do not know. Poisoning everyone to save a dollar.
As you noted yourself, this is scope 3 emissions, meaning that if I buy a ton of coal and put on fire in my garden the associated emission will be counted toward the company which extracted it.
Such accounting is useful to understand which company produce highly polluting stuff but saying that the emission come from them is highly misleading. Using this way to count emission I'm never responsible for any emission whether it is burning coal for fun, taking the plane every morning or eating exclusively beef.
What it says to people is basically that they have no responsibility and shouldn't make any change.
What it says to people is basically that they have no responsibility and shouldn’t make any change.
There's always been a sort of false dichotomy about this. On the one hand there's this idea that climate change can be solved by individual consumer choices and personal responsibility. On the other there's the idea that the average person can continue on with their life exactly as before if we just fix things "behind the scenes".
IMO the reality is that climate change mitigation requires systemic top-down change, but that change is going to affect people's lives. In some ways for the better and some ways for the worse. The kind of "individual choices" we need people to make is to choose not to throw a hissy fit when their local government removes a car lane.

We are still in desperate need of your help. Everyone around us lives in safety, warmth, and happiness… but we have been deprived of that for two long years. We are trying to rebuild our lives from zero, but life in the tents makes everything harder.
Imagine living in winter inside nothing but a thin piece of nylon that cannot protect you from the freezing cold…

California exceeds clean car goal despite declining federal support
Archived copies of the article:

The details on this are not promising:
Nearly 23% of new vehicles sold in California in 2025 were considered zero-emission vehicles, though EV sales were down in the state and across the U.S. compared to the year prior....
In the fourth quarter of 2025, only 18% of new cars sold in the state were zero-emission.
It needs to be 100% in the not-very-distant future, and that's going to be really tough without a sharp reduction in prices, which isn't likely to happen due to tariffs pushing prices up.

You would think, but the policy moves the state has made, between mandating rooftop solar on new homes, and new net energy metering billing policies have inverted the finances of EVs. They are more expensive to buy, and often more expensive to operate than gas engine vehicles because we have completely fucked electricity prices. We are 3-4x the national average per KWh, and and easily double (if not more) what it costs in other states to install rooftop solar.
Our electricity prices have more than doubled in the last 5 years, and the cost of rooftop solar has balooned even independent of the batter requirement for new rooftop installations.
The issue is massive pricing disincentives for EVs at a time when gas prices are decreasing.

White House tech chief slams EU AI Act, champions Trump's approach as Davos begins
Going into this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the White House’s top science and technology adviser, Michael Kratsios, signaled some chilly conversations with European leaders may lie ahead on the topic of artificial intelligence and the way it is regulated.“I will continue to point out to my tech minister counterparts the ways they can create a regulatory environment to allow AI to thrive,” Kratsios told NBC News, “to make sure they’re not getting ahead of themselves with overburdening regulations, like the EU AI Act, which are an absolute disaster.” For Kratsios, the Trump administration’s light-touch approach to AI regulation is the winning formula.
"There’s been an A-B test for decades on how you lead in technology, and it’s very obvious what the recipe is,” said Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and one of the nation’s leading artificial intelligence advisers.

Donald Trump has boasted about the killing of 32 Cuban security personnel who died at the hands of U.S. Special Forces during the January 3 abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Trump called the Cubans “thugs and extortionists” who held Venezuela hostage for many years.Yunio Estévez Samón, one of those killed in the U.S. attack, was neither a thug nor an extortionist. He was a 32-year-old cryptographer and a dedicated family man who has left behind a wife and three children.

Israel launches large-scale military operation in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron : Peoples Dispatch
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/7394187
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/2115…
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced on Sunday, January 18, the launch of an extensive military operation in Jabal Johar area, in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron.The IOF claimed that the operation aims to “dismantle terror infrastructure sites, eradicate illegal possession of weapons, and enhance security in the area”. It also added that the campaign will continue for several days.
The move was interpreted as an attempt to abort any resistance actions by Palestinians from Hebron before they may be carried out, and as part of Israel’s comprehensive efforts to crack down on Palestinian resistance groups in the occupied West Bank.
The fresh assault on Hebron came less than two months after the IOF began its second sweeping onslaught on the northern areas of the West Bank in the span of one year.
The successive brutal campaigns of the IOF alongside the non-stop violent setter attacks across the occupied territory resulted in the deaths of at least 240 Palestinians, including 55 children, according to a report released by the United Nations on January 7, 2026.

Iran rejects Washington's "false accusations" and continued attempts to fuel tensions in the region : Peoples Dispatch
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/7394189
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/2115…
On Saturday, January 17, the government of Iran claimed that the United States is making false accusations against the country in its latest attempt to “fuel tensions” in the region. It dismissed the US allegation of attacks on American bases in the region, warning that any move to militarily target Iran would be retaliated. The comments were made by the spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, in a press conference in response to a post on the US Deparment of State’s Farsi page, claiming Iran is preparing to launch attacks on its bases in the region.The US Department of State reiterated threats of striking Iran, saying that “all options remain on the table” and warning Iran not to “play games with president [Donald] Trump.” Trump has been issuing threats of strikes on Iran since the beginning of the year, after protests broke out in the country over economic suffering.
President Trump has also repeatedly threatened the Iranian government not to use force against protesters, whom he even encouraged to occupy institutions, promising “help on its way”. On Sunday, Trump went so far as to accuse Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei of misrule and excessive use of violence against the protesters to stay in power. He also repeated his call for change in the country’s leadership.
The US president’s open support for Iranian protesters and threats of military intervention has invited strong criticism from top Iranian officials, who have claimed that this encouraged the protesters to turn violent, attack public and private property, and to turn the movement into a regime-change mission.
On Saturday, Supreme Leader Khamenei reacted once again to the allegations, claiming that Trump was the main culprit behind the killings and destruction during the protests that took place over the last two weeks. Although official data is yet to be released, it is speculated that hundreds of people were killed after the nationwide protests over growing economic hardship turned violent in the first two weeks of January.
Trump is responsible for the death and destruction in Iran
Speaking during a religious ceremony on Saturday, Khamenei said that “the US president is responsible for casualties, damages, and false accusations directed against the Iranian nation.” He claimed that the US has been trying to incite violence against the Iranian state for decades. Previously, this was done through misuse of the media and the backing of low-profile politicians. However, this time it was different, he said, as “the president of the US himself intervened, made statements, encouraged the rioters, and even spoke of providing military support.”

Khamenei said this approach was pursued because “the US cannot tolerate a country with Iran’s characteristics, capabilities, vastness, and scientific and technological progress.” He asserted that authorities would not lead the “country toward war, but we will also not let domestic and international criminals go unpunished.”On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged that Iranians are facing economic hardship. In a post on X, he claimed that this is a result of sanctions imposed by the US and its allies. Pezeshkian also warned the US and Trump against attempting to target the Iranian supreme leader, claiming any attack on Khamenei would be treated as an attack on the whole country.
US withdrawal from Iraqi base welcomed
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Iraq on Sunday. During a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart, he expressed satisfaction at the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq’s Ain-al Asad airbase after years of presence. He called it good for regional peace and stability.As per the agreement reached with the Iraqi government in 2024, US troops pulled out of the airbase last week, handing over control to Iraqi troops. US forces first occupied the base after the 2003 invasion and until 2011. They reoccupied it in 2014 upon returning, in the wake of the emergence of ISIS in the country.
The presence of the US forces in Iraq has been one of the major points of contention with Iran, which has been campaigning for a complete withdrawal of US and foreign troops in the region, describing their presence as a threat to regional peace and security. Iran has often claimed Ain-al Asad was used by the US to launch attacks inside the country. It had also fired several missiles on the base in January 2020, after the US assassinated General Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad.
Araghchi noted that stability in Iraq is a guarantee of security and peace in the region.

“To die for the freedom of a brother people is the highest form of living”: Cuba honors 32 killed in Venezuela : Peoples Dispatch
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/7394646
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/2097…
Nearly half a million Cubans marched through the streets of Havana to honor the 32 Cubans who were killed in combat during the US military incursion into Venezuela on January 3, 2025.The Cuban military personnel who were in Venezuela were carrying out collaborative activities previously agreed upon with the Caracas government. The thirty Cubans killed were personally protecting Nicolás Maduro before he was kidnapped by the US military and brought to the United States, where he is currently on trial.
In Cuba, the revolutionary government has given the remains of the 32 Cubans killed every possible honor. Several days of national mourning were declared on the Caribbean island, in addition to official tours in which the fallen were carried through the streets of Cuba before being laid to rest with all the country’s military tributes.
The large demonstration was led by Cuba’s highest authorities, including members of the government, representatives of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), senior officers of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and various social and political organizations that accompanied the victims’ families in their grief.
Patriotic slogans marked the voice of the crowd that rejected the murder of their compatriots: “Down with imperialism,” “Cuba yes, Yankees no,” and “Justice for the fallen” were some of the cries heard in the streets of the Cuban capital.
Yudelkis Ortiz, one of the top representatives of the PCC, said in her speech in the Plaza de la Revolución: “These heroes have raised the name of Cuba to the heights of the firmament. To die for the freedom of a brother people is the highest form of living … Our heroes knew, as every Cuban knows in the depths of their conscience, that on this island we are not born to live on our knees, but to die standing up if necessary, defending justice.”
Díaz-Canel warns that they will not surrender
For his part, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel told hundreds of thousands of students, workers, scientists, and artists: “On January 3, 2026, in the darkest hour of the early morning, while its noble people slept, Venezuela was attacked in its entirety on the orders of US President Donald Trump. Once again, now in his homeland, Bolívar’s visionary statement that ‘the United States seems destined by providence to plague America with misery in the name of freedom’ was confirmed. And Ernesto Che Guevara’s warning that ‘imperialism cannot be trusted even a little bit, not at all’.”On the death of the 32 Cuban soldiers, the Cuban president declared: “The sacred remains of our 32 compatriots arrived yesterday in their homeland, as eternal soldiers of the integration we owe ourselves. They are the only possible measure of the courage and character of Cubans loyal to a brotherhood forged since the time of Bolívar, exalted by Martí, and now legendary thanks to the close relationship between Fidel and Chávez, leaders of regional integration who in just a few years brought literacy, restored sight, and provided medical and educational services to millions of Venezuelans and other inhabitants of our Latin America and the Caribbean.”
He also emphasized that there was indeed combat between US forces and those stationed in Venezuela, despite attempts by much of the international media to promote the idea that there was no confrontation: “No matter how much they insist on glorifying their soldiers camouflaged with helmets and bulletproof vests, night vision goggles, overprotected by planes, helicopters, and swarms of drones amid intentional blackouts, the Delta terrorists’ assault was not the walk in the park they have sold to the world.”
“One day, we will know the whole truth, but even Trump has been unable to deny that several attackers were wounded. Our brave fighters, with conventional weapons and no vests other than their morale and loyalty to the mission they were carrying out, fought to the death and beat their adversaries,” said the first secretary of the PCC.
Regarding Washington’s actions and a possible attack on Cuba, Díaz-Canel stated: “The current US administration has opened the door to an era of barbarism, dispossession, and neo-fascism, regardless of what that may mean in terms of more war, destruction, and death … They would have to kidnap millions or wipe us off the map, and even then, they would be haunted forever by the ghost of this small archipelago that they had to pulverize because they could not subdue it. No, imperialists, we are absolutely not afraid of you. And we do not like, as Fidel said, being threatened. You will not intimidate us.”

EXCLUSIVE: OnePlus Is Being Dismantled
This conclusion comes from a three-continent investigation—current and former employees across R&D, Business, and Marketing at headquarters in China and regional offices in the US, India, and Europe. It’s confirmed by four independent analyst firms whose market data verifies what OnePlus won’t say. And it’s informed by 15 years covering OnePlus and the smartphone industry’s business dynamics—watching Samsung and Apple rise while Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, and LG followed this exact pattern into irrelevance.The evidence is damning. Shipments in freefall. A premium stronghold that collapsed almost overnight. Headquarters shuttered without announcement. Partnerships ended. Western teams gutted to skeleton crews. Product cancellations—the Open 2 foldable and 15s compact flagship have both been scrapped; neither will launch as planned. And every major decision now flows from China—regional offices don’t strategize anymore, they take orders.

B’Tselem says at least 84 Palestinians killed in Israeli torture camps
Israel’s prison system has become a “network of torture camps” targeting Palestinians, according to new findings released by B’Tselem.
The report details widespread abuse, deaths in custody and what the rights group describes as a deliberate state policy of violence.
It said on Tuesday that at least 84 Palestinians, including one child, have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023.
B’Tselem stressed that the real figure is likely far higher, as many cases remain unverified or concealed.
