  1. Oil demand is falling more ​than expected, partly ⁠due to record fuel prices. World oil demand will drop by 2.5 million bpd this year, the @iea.org said, more than its previous forecast of a 1.6 million bpd decline.

    However, supply is expected to decrease even faster (hence the shortage), and demand is expected to rebound by practically the same amount next year.

  2. Timothy Snyder also writes about the missed opportunity after 9/11 and the choice in the US to reduce freedom an make the world worse.

    "Americans let the terrorists set the terms: their violence and our violence. We had an opportunity to see 9/11 more deeply, and to react in a way that would have created a safer world for generations to come. And we did not take that opportunity."

    "The basic American policy response to 9/11 should have been to liberate ourselves from fossil fuels. Without our dependence on oil, we would never have been entangled in the Middle East in the first place."

  3. Sacrifice zones are heavily polluted areas bearing the disproportionate brunt of toxic pollution. On 9/29, join us at the Benicia Public Library for a screening of an important new documentary to hear from sacrifice zone communities affected by carbon dumping projects.

    The documentary will be followed by a panel Q&A.

    We hope to see you there!

  5. LA Times: Leaked emails reveal industry plan to kill California’s plastic and recycling laws

    "...Internal memos from a trade organization potentially impacted by California’s single use plastic law reveals a coordinated push to dismantle the landmark legislation by stoking anxiety over affordability and living costs...."

  6. #Climate ‘feedback loops’ could worsen #globalwarming
    Rising temps caused by burning #fossilfuels are transforming world’s forests, wetlands and tundra to the point they are releasing #emissions that could further worsen #globalheating by as much as 30%
    While scientists have long known of these “feedback loops” that amplify the impact of direct pollution from burning coal, oil and gas, the emissions from natural sources are largely unaccounted for in climate projections.

  7. @benlockwood Well, from the #TechBros angle, it presents a prime opportunity to corner energy markets, eventually compete with #FossilFuels #Oligarchy when the rest of us are rendered extinct. So why not introduce #AI quickly, faux a pullback publicly, and look like responsible leaders, all the while reaping rewards from bloated energy costs, then eventual #DataCenter #greed.

    Remove #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power

    Convoy - Seniors in EVs Protest

    "The caravan members are gathering testimonials from people who share their concern for the climate in 16 cities along the way and aim to be in Ottawa on Sept. 19 to join young people at the Fridays for Future march. They have also requested a meeting with the prime minister. If they are refused, they say non-violent, civil disobedience is in the cards."

  11. Sea level rise threatens more than a quarter of a million properties as bill surges to $855b

    "Climate change means Australia's love of the coast is facing a multi-billion-dollar reckoning, research suggests, as rising seas threaten to turn its prized coastal lifestyle into a question of who will foot the bill: property owners or governments."

    "Australia could face damage costs of more than $850 billion, with more than $274 billion going to property losses and $580 billion spent on land-use damage."

    "We keep warming the planet … so you get more sea level rise, you get higher tides, higher king tides, higher maximum tides," the professor of environmental economics and biosecurity at the University of Melbourne said." >>

  12. As Australia’s sea levels rise, safe land is vanishing and costs are huge

    "Climate Council forecasts more than 267,000 coastal properties will be damaged by flooding by 2100, costing hundreds of billions of dollars."

    "Kompas said the costs – an estimated $274.3bn in property losses and $580.7bn in land use damages – were a conservative estimate and did not take into account the additional impacts of coastal erosion or significant ice sheet melt."

    "Kompas said that while reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global heating was of paramount importance, “we have to start planning and responding and adapting now. The first thing, of course, is not to build on flood plains, which is common still.” >>
