Important to note that the UK government's £22bn carbon capture scheme was the outcome of intense lobbying by the fossil fuel industry.

2. The reason is as grim as you could imagine: a cynical and staggeringly expensive greenwashing scheme dreamt up by the fossil fuel industry and packaged as a "climate solution": the supposed "Carbon Capture and Storage" scheme the government is funding. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s carbon-capture scheme will be Starmer’s white elephant: a terrible mistake costing billions | George Monbiot
The supposedly green project – brainchild of the previous Tory government – will increase emissions, not reduce them, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1. A characteristically brilliant explanation by @billmckibben.bsky.social of why Trump's attempt to force the EU to buy US fossil gas (please let's stop calling it "natural gas") will fail. Unfortunately, the UK is now locked into US gas dependence. 🧵 billmckibben.substack.com/p/how-the-gr...

‘It’s death by a thousand cuts’: marine ecologist on the collapse of coral reefs.
More than anything #climate and #biodiversity crises make me angry. As few people are largely responsible, while all pay the price, mostly those least responsible.

Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever
Exploitation of the high seas risks doing irreversible damage to biodiversity, climate stability and ocean equity. A consensus must be built now to save them.

Industrial fishing is the most destructive activity we undertake in the ocean, and doing it in more places is not great.

The greatest threat to ocean biodiversity in the past 50 yrs—more than climate change or plastic pollution—is unsustainable fishing. So countries around the world have been creating marine protected areas.
But in the US, 47 is undoing marine protection.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

The Arctic deep ocean, with depths averaging over 1000m, is one of Earth’s least explored regions. Beneath its waters lie habitats containing many species that remain largely unknown to science.
