A draft Trump regime order is set to slash environmental reviews for commercial rocket launches, a long-standing demand from SpaceX, Blue Origin & other companies. The directive tells the transportation secretary Sean Duffy to “eliminate or expedite” those reviews. #3E #OpCanary 🧵

The US Trump regime is pressuring other countries to reject global plastic-production caps at UN plastic treaty talks, stacking the deck against a true treaty on virgin plastics. A move that benefits major regime oligarch donors and backers. #3E #OpCanary #PlasticPollution #ClimateJustice

The Texas floods are a clear case of Autogenocide. “Autogenocide doesn’t require an invading army. It happens when a society’s rulers dismantle its ability to survive, whether through negligence, ideology, or greed,” Marsh argues. #OpCanary #EndAutogenocide
In this case, the deliberate gutting of NOAA, FEMA, Medicaid, and climate resilience funding under Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), paired with state-level decisions to reject federal aid, systematically removed the protections that could have saved lives during the disaster. “Autogenocide doesn’t require an invading army. It happens when a society’s rulers dismantle its ability to survive, whether through negligence, ideology, or greed,” Marsh argues. The Texas floods, like other mass-casualty events rooted in preventable policy failure, fit this framework. The choices made by those in power converted a natural hazard into mass death. This pattern of state-enabled destruction echoes other moments in history: The Soviet famine of 1932–33, where policies intentionally sabotaged food systems, killing millions. Myanmar’s Cyclone Nargis (2008), where refusal of aid and destruction of resilience networks turned a storm into a mass casualty event. Hurricane Katrina (2005), where government neglect and systemic racism amplified the disaster’s toll on the most vulnerable. In each of these cases, natural disasters were made vastly more deadly by human decisions that stripped away societal defenses. Marsh warns that such dynamics arise when endogroup loyalty, profit, or ideology supersede universal protections: “When the survival of all is no longer the priority, societies set the stage for their own destruction.” The Texas flood disaster, born of climate crisis and deliberate dismantling of protective systems, stands as a modern case of autogenocide, engineered by policy, accelerated by ideology, and paid for in human lives.

Trump has vetoed the G7 proposal to combat Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers. The US is now pushing to remove references to sanctions and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The shadow fleet is keeping the Russian military afloat.
#3E #OpCanary www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
In negotiations to agree a joint statement on maritime issues, the US is pushing to strengthen language about China while watering down wording on Russia, the reports said. The “shadow fleet” refers to ageing oil tankers, the identities of which are hidden to help circumvent western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow since it launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine at the start of 2022. As well as vetoing Canada’s proposal to establish a task force to monitor sanctions breaches, the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”. G7 communiqués are not final until they are published through consensus. Further talks could still result in changes to the end-of-summit statement. US diplomats briefed their G7 counterparts that the move was because of Washington’s “re-evaluation of its position in multilateral organisations, rendering it unable to join any new initiatives”, according to the Bloomberg report. European countries are discussing plans that will let them carry out seizures of Moscow’s oil-exporting tankers in the Baltic Sea. The proposals include using international law to allow them to take control of vessels on environmental or piracy grounds.

Hamm, encouraged fellow oil executives to share their policy priorities with Trump. Since then Hamm’s hand-picked Cabinet have issued a slew of Big Oil-approved policies designed primarily to boost fossil fuel industry profits and destroy competition from renewables. They include: #OpCanary
The Interior Department suspended all clean energy development on federal land, while continuing development for oil and gas. (Heatmap, Jan. 24) The Energy Department abruptly stopped paying out grants from its climate and clean energy programs, halting billions of dollars in funding for states and companies to protect the environment and advance renewables. (E&E, Feb. 7) Burgum, on his first day as Interior Secretary, issued a seven-page directive weakening protections for national monuments, migratory birds, endangered and threatened species in order to further fossil fuel development. (Inside Climate, Feb. 5) Burgum also issued an order reversing the Biden administration’s protection of most of the U.S. coastline and parts of Alaska from oil drilling. (E&E, Feb. 4) Wright said the Department of Energy has started re-started the permit consideration process for new liquified methane gas facilities. The process had previously been paused so the government could consider whether the projects were in the best interest of the climate. (Oil and Gas Journal, Feb. 7)
