This report on the companies that are the top carbon emitters globally highlights what scholars have called “super polluters.” For more, check out the book by Don Grant Wesley Longhofer and Andrew Jorgenson www.axios.com/2025/03/05/f...

These companies are responsible for more than 50% of world CO2 emissions
The "Carbon Majors Database" is being used to sue oil companies, write new laws and track emissions over time.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

Australia’s deadliest natural disaster you’ve never heard of www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

Australia's deadliest natural disaster flew under the radar but killed hundreds
Public life ground to a halt, many lost power, and scores of people died behind closed doors. What sounds like the start of a post-apocalyptic movie is in fact Melbourne in January 2009.

A lovely Newsround piece with @annaholligan.bsky.social and some Dutch schoolkids telling us why Dutch kids cycle - because they have the infrastructure and because it’s fresh air, energising, non-polluting, good for the environment, liberating, exciting, happy & fun! www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/vi...

Why is cycling so popular in the Netherlands?
With seven in 10 children cycling to school in the Netherlands, Newsround's been looking at why it is such a popular means of transport.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate anywhere, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story from Toronto. Politician claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small businesses, & THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION just obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

Hey. Yeah, you, hey: if you are not currently sick or disabled, one day you will be, and you will wish you lived in a world that had the resources and culture to make your life as full and thriving and happy as anyone else's. You will want that world, and you can start helping make it, right now.
