Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine for his puppet-master in Moscow is fully underway. Thousands more innocent civilians including children will die because of Trump. Netanyahu gets a blank check in Gaza, Putin gets to bomb with impunity in Ukraine.

Twelve of England’s regional mayors back plan to create ‘national active travel network’
Exclusive: Unprecedented move to focus initially on helping children to walk, cycle or scoot to school safely
Twelve of England’s regional mayors have signed up to an unprecedented plan to create a “national active travel network”, focusing initially on helping children to walk, cycle or scoot to school safely.
The scheme, which involves all non-London regional mayors other than one from Reform UK, is intended to fit into wider efforts to devolve transport planning, working with Active Travel England (ATE) to implement schemes they think would help their area.

MethaneSAT leaves a real gap. We need better monitoring and mitigation measures for methane emissions from US oil and gas infrastructure. Absent progress on that front, our best tool to cut into the ~gigaton of CO2e that infrastructure emits as methane is to produce, use and export less fossil fuel.

There is simply no way to claim US LNG is clean energy with low associated methane emissions. The evidence is overwhelming. If the EU regulators make this claim, it will be a lie.

This graph from the new SFCO report that proposes South Korea create a methane standard for its oil and gas imports shows US LNG as some of the dirtiest in the world when it comes to methane emissions.
