Shipping nations agree on historic greenhouse gas tax

> From 2027, all ships are required to use less CO2 emitting fuels, or face penalties. It is aimed at forcing the industry to lower its carbon footprint and not everyone is happy with the deal.

Chris Packham's petition to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship currently has 55,000 signatures. At 100,000 it gets a debate in the UK Parliament.

Please forward to all your UK media to help it over the line. Merely considering signing reduces the social licence to damage nature irrevocably!

Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorshipAdvertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

Global EV adoption fails to cut CO₂
Coal-fired power plants are among electricity sources - this has been troubling me too - if people buy more #EVs, the extra power needed will have to come from some reserve, and in most places that means #fossilFuels, as they're not going to build extra renewable capacity for the extra EVs. Only when
renewable energy is abundant and has reserves will the switch be reliably a bonus. eurekalert.org/news-releases/1

Ireland and its massive offshore wind potential:

"We don't see any pathway back to fossil fuels ... We are absolutely committed to offshore wind as the energy source of the future," Dooley said….

Dooley said it would be challenging to meet the target of 80% renewable electricity generation by 2030.
"(But) it will be close ... We hope to be a long way there by 2030," Dooley said.”

Other Countries: Wait...

Trump: OK, I'll drop the tariffs just buy our #FossilFuels . Everyone's kissing my a$$

Other Countries: almost...

Trump: OK, I'll "pause" all the tariffs. Well, not China cuz they retaliated

Arwa Mahdawi: Please, for the love of God, stop buying supersized cars: Why would anyone want a car that’s too big for parking spaces, or that’s a menace to other road users? I have a theory

"A lot of the tanks I see on the road appear to serve no other purpose than making their owner feel better about their insecurities."

The Guardian knows how to report the news:

“Donald Trump signed four executive orders on Tuesday aimed at reviving coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel that has long been in decline, and which substantially contributes to planet-heating greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.”

" U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Tuesday that aims to block the enforcement of state laws passed to reduce the use of #FossilFuels and combat #ClimateChange.

The two Democratic governors who co-chair the U.S. Climate Alliance - Kathy Hochul (NY) and Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM)- said states could not be stripped of their authority and would not be deterred by the executive order."
