Pumped for this @intercept.com.br + @drilledmedia.bsky.social collab looking at Brazil's corn ethanol boom (and the role the U.S. has played in it). First story now, in English on our site &Portuguese on the Intercept Brasil site:

#COP30 must deliver a clear #roadmap for the transition away from #fossilfuels. That will not come easily. This is where the real fight begins.

For @climatechangenews.com, I detail why we need a roadmap, what a roadmap mandate could do - and why it must not be hijacked by Brazil’s #biofuels agenda.

At #COP30 next month in Brazil, the animal ag (and broader ag) industry is likely to be as active as the fossil fuel guys obstructing commitments to emissions reductions. I got a crash course on how they work from the great @profsecchi.bsky.social and Kathrin Lauber and terrific new @cssn.org book
There's increasing awareness of the role the animal ag industry plays in climate obstruction, but this new book brings all the peer-reviewed research on the subject together in one place and it's 🤯.

Something this book really drilled home (scuse the pun) is that we're not stalled out on climate because scientists didn't model hard enough or campaigners didn't come up with the perfect message, but because the world's most powerful spent gazillions to sabotage action.

A cidade de Gaza está sendo tomada pelo exército terrorista de Israel neste momento. Estão bombardeando TODOS E TUDO. Todas as imagens de Gaza City que temos vão, daqui pra frente, se tornar arquivos. Desaparecem não somente os palestinos, desaparece a humanidade inteira nesse genocídio.
⚠️ Gaza City is reportedly under relentless attack tonight.

It’s challenging to find news from people on the ground because Israel has assassinated most of the journalists.
