Some news for those interested in #shipping:

The #cimatecrisis linked droughts across the world have now limited the capacity of the #panamacanal ... a route used because its cheap & efficient for the America's #supplychains.

You're going to see a lot more of this in the next few years... (and off course we've already seen the capacity impact on river shipping in #Germnay - see toot from a couple of weeks ago)

#Wildfire Smoke and #HighHeat Have Something in Common. Guess What. #Human caused #ClimateChange is making high #temperatures more common and intensifying the #dryness that fuels #catastrophic #wildfires.#CimateCrisis https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/28/climate/heat-smoke-climate-change.html

When I pass the new Wireworks estate being built in #Musselburgh I wonder how long after the first person moves in will it be before those mature trees are cut down. Those greedy developers could have built a few yards back from the boundary and the trees would have been fine. #Trees are one of our best weapons in the fight against the #CimateCrisis but I bet those trees are already marked for felling.

How, in 2023, are we approving NEW fossil fuel and gas plants?

...and as a postscript on my last post on the obscene subsidies, income and profits for the #fossilfuels industry this new research in Nature Energy suggests the current soaring energy prices triggered by the war in Ukraine but compounded by our reliance on #fossilfuels could drive 141 million people into extreme poverty globally - see story in the Guardian and link to research therein on:

"The one thing we know about the #CimateCrisis is that it has incredibly long-term impacts", he says. "That's the core of the #intergenerational #climate problem: we've #colonised the future, we treat it as a dumping ground for ecological degradation, and technological risks, as if there was nobody there."

took me an entire second
😐😮🤨🧐…😂
I love clothes & fashion more than 99.999% of the planet, but i hate the entire industry #globalWarming #polyester #fossilFuel #CimateCrisis

If we’re being honest, Fashion month probs one of the top offenders perpetuating/adding gas & lighting a flame to this #pandemic what with all the multi-city travel in very short amounts of time, multiple times a year

Love fashion…the people, not so much

Also everyone great mostly retired/died

Good news: Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action is headed by a leader of the Green Party.

Bad news: Germany

#Lützerath #Habeck #GreenParty #environment #CimateCrisis

It’s been dubbed a ‘sustainable’ manufacturing hub. But FOI shows Middle Arm was pitched as a ‘new gas demand centre’ #CimateCrisis #FossilFuelLies

I kid you not, a man in his seventies said words along these lines to me just last month, only it was more like this:

“I knew about this 40 years ago but still your generation have done nothing about it!”

#RogerHallam, a founder of #ExtinctionRebellion got arested, related to a planned airport blockade.
While actions against the destruction of the climate are needed more then ever (thx for doing), the ideology that Roger spreads is not

He claims that cops are among the best allies against the #cimatecrisis and that being arrested is the most effective thing one can do...which is obviously wrong.

related to that, a blogpost:

Against prisons, and the world that needs them!!!
