This tells you *everything* you need to know about how serious the fossil fuel industry is about the clean energy transition.
“The Godfathers of climate chaos – the fossil fuel industry – rake in record profits and feast off trillions in taxpayer-funded subsidies.”—Antonio Guterres
This is *absolutely* the right call:
“I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies.
“And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.” — Antonio Guterres

What is fantastic about composting worms is that not only they are able to process an insane amount of waste and help us limit greenhouse gasses from landfills, but we often forget that they produce one of the most powerful manure that can be made at home.
If you apply the worm castings in your garden, you will boost the biology in your soils and provide a lot of nutrients for your plants.
If you want to do something for the #climate a worm bin is a very good start.

#Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) will withdraw the state from particip in CA’s tough auto emissions standards at end of this year, using opinion from Virginia AG Jason S. Miyares (R) as justification for undoing an action taken by Gen Assembly.

Actually, the last John Oliver about Corn is quite good - not just for farmers, gardeners and climate activists. He explains how subsidy policies in the US have favoured monoculture and are actively destroying life on this planet. He explains how nitrates used as fertilizers pollute fresh and ground water sources. All of this is neither new, nor exclusive to the US. Quite similar here in Germany. Agriculture policies have a massive impact on the #ClimateCrisis.

I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:
> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
> 40% are between 20 and 50%.
> Mexico City (Population 22.51 million) forced to reduce water supply as reservoirs that feed city dry up.
> Stores running out of mineral water.

📣 Hey people who eat beef!
You can very greatly reduce your food's environmental impact by switching to pretty much any other food apart from beef. Beef causes by far the greatest amount of CO2 emissions per gram of food.
Other meats have only a fraction of the CO2 emissions of beef, and plant-based food is even less. See the attached chart for some emissions numbers of common foods.
More info at https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local which is also the source of the chart.

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
“Eat local” is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?Our World in Data

ITALIAN FLASH FLOODS🚨
A series of floods hit northern Italy
Heavy rains flooded Lombardy, in particular the fashion capital Milan. Other northern regions - Veneto and Piedmont - were also affected. Over the past 24 hours, more than a thousand rescue operations have been carried out here, the Italian fire and rescue service reported.

“Fed regulators on Monday approved sweeping changes to how America’s electric grids are planned & funded, in a move that supporters hope could spur thousands of miles of new high-voltage power lines & make it easier to add more wind and solar energy.
The new rule by Fed Energy Regulatory Commission, which oversees interstate electricity transmission, is most significant attempt in years to upgrade and expand the country’s creaking electricity network”
