Acalpuco after Hurricane Otis
Revealed: the industry figures behind âdeclaration of scientistsâ backing meat eating
Document used to target top EU officials over environmental and health policies but climate experts view it as propaganda
Bring on fucking SAI.
We've outlived our use.
Strap in, this is going to be fun.

EU agrees landmark nature restoration deal that will have far-reaching impact for Ireland
Green MEP welcome measures to protect and restore Irish wetlands which were opposed by Irish farmers, although key elements ‘watered down’
Started mapping my own Co2e stuff this evening after reading the following sentence
Mine is around 11 tons co2e this year.
Observations:
I've been trapped in a too much driving loop for the past year that hopefully will stop soon - 40% of my footprint is the driving.
Other problems:
I had to get a few bits of furniture and buying a new couch would have been one of the larger standalone footprint things, i did look for 2nd hand one for weeks.
flights were less than i thought, but just of the total.
If i could stop driving forever tomorrow i'd still be 3 times the target.
primarly using this website.

Trying to find the source of these stats this morning
full article -->> Ireland's richest have country's emissions rising faster than rest of the EU
Most recent figure for top 10% of earners on the first look is over 70000eu but it's a little out of date.

related(directly) from the grauniad re Oxfam report.
www.theguardian.com
interestingly they seem to be posting these articles across the day. (top 1% the article this morning).
Would be interesting to see the gradient within the top 10%, based on data for top 1% I'd presume ton per person emissions clusters around the top income brackets within deciles also.
Revealed: the huge climate impact of the middle classes
Carbon emissions of richest 10% is up to 40 times bigger than poorest, and ignoring divide may make ending climate crisis impossible, experts say

It's not a very direct trail but the stats are coming from this website:
And a few of the headers are sorta generated from this release
-------------------
TLDR.
The 1% are by an order of magnitude the worst individual polluters but how they get to that statement isn't great. What i take from this is A: Don't buy a yacht that's an insane amount of carbon (larry ellison is around 145bn euro in value).
HOWEVER.
A lot of his investment is Oracle, which he is not the sole user of so I don't think you can really say he's single handedly getting through that carbon himself there. The yacht/planes for sure though. Like I'm guessing that by having insurance on my car i'm probably inadvertently using shit like oracle while never looking at it.
It makes that top 10% a pretty vague category?

Are the top 1% of the top 1% giving all the top 1% a bad name?
Yeah, they’re ruining it for the other 0.99%

The Climate Summit Is a Sick Joke. You Should Be Angry and Afraid
The primary cause of global heating is fossil fuels; and global heating is what's driving all the crazy heat, fire, smoke, storms, flooding, drought, crop yield losses, and ecosystem death that is intensifying everywhere as Earth breaks down.

I can't remember if I was ranting about this before on here or not.
One of my new (legitimate) pet hates is rural houses who landscape the piece of hedgerow across the road from their house. There's one particular one nearby that's torn out all the natural stone wall craic and planted some shit that looks like it's from a super mario game that they make into an ornamental box hedge.
Anywhoo the council were going about cutting the hedges back this week which i think they timed really well because once the frost lifts everything will know the size of it's spring mating areas and so forth rather gettting evicted by a flail mowere at a really bad time.
HOWEVER
The hedge trimmer operator trimmed all the hedgrow along that road, then skipped the stupid box hedge which is gonna bother me for weeks.

That’s been going on a while round where I’m from, but generally only on narrow lanes where someone might have a flower bed on the other side, or have planted a few trees in front of existing hedge,
Fully reconfiguring shit is not something I’ve seen, but I’d be surprised if it’s not happening elsewhere..
If you want both sides of the road in front of your gaff orderly and paved move in a town I’d say.
In this case, with the house orientation and where they'e done the hedge and how they have hedged in thier place on other sides they can see exactly no countryside from the front of their house. 100% iving in the sticks fail. fuck those guys. anywhoo I want to fill their hedge with rage filled stoats or something.
What you need is a herd of cattle to wander out of a nearby field and make shit of the place.
I haven't seen it either, but fuck me it boggles my mind how people love destroying natural stuff in order to create a massive heap of work/expense for themselves.
