Pet food could be the secret weapon to reducing deforestation. WePlanet’s @joelscotthalkes.bsky.social explains in this video, that this land-saving approach would be achieved by simply by replacing the traditional bits of meat in the kibble for Mr. Sprinkles 🐈 with lab-grown meat instead.

If you could pop one of these bubbles, which one would it be? Coal is the leading source of power generation… for now. It continues to cling to existence thanks in part to the red tape, lobbying and nuclear phase outs that choke the strength of fossil free-technologies. #Renewables #Nuclear

Earth is getting darker—and hotter. As glaciers melt and reflective cloud cover declines, our planet absorbs more of the Sun's energy. One surprising reason? Cleaner air means fewer aerosols that help form reflective clouds. Climate is full of crazy feedback loops. #WePlanet #ClimateScience

We can have life-saving air conditioning and tackle climate change. Reverse-cycle air conditioning keeps us cool in summer and warm in winter. Using highly efficient heat pump technology, it delivers heating and cooling while using far less energy than conventional systems.

There are two possible outcomes. If the committee rejects the amendments, the legislation can proceed to a final vote on Wednesday. That would bring Europe a step closer to implementation. If amendments are adopted, the file will return to further negotiations, creating more delays & uncertainty.
