Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) pump out 5 times more planet-heating pollution than official figures show.

Running costs understated.

PHEVs emit just 19% less CO2 than petrol/diesel cars

Underestimate of emissions lets carmakers avoid fines.

Why do govts not corroborate industry claims?

Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars, report finds

Analysis of 800,000 European cars found real-world pollution from plug-in hybrids nearly five times greater than lab tests

My son was 1 when leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C.

By his 11th birthday even 2C is dead.

I’m lost for words at the scale of this betrayal.

Government told to prepare for 2C warming by 2050

The Climate Change Committee said the UK should make climate change adaptions beyond the Paris Agreement.

Editorial: A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for a man who led the country to go and shill for a foreign military. Decency and clearance would have restrained it. AUKUS is less a security partnership and more a one-man superannuation scheme. satpa.pe/IDekko9

The one-man super scheme

Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

Israel is notorious for assassinating people around the world. Thousands of bombs killed and maimed people in Lebanon. Israel has attacked almost every country in the Middle East.

I don’t condone murder. But this one-sided reporting of Hamas killing collaborators with zero context is galling.

Michael Dowling aka MeckeringBoy @meckeringboy.bsky.social · 1d

70,000 plus people murdered by Israel in the street, their homes, in schools, in hospitals, in ambulances, in markets, in their tents, on the beach…anywhere and everywhere so NOWHERE is safe if you’re Palestinian.

The partisans in most European countries killed collaborators during and after WW2.

"At one point, around 60 people were put in a small cage outdoors ... When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, ‘We’re going to gas you.’ It was standard for them to say that. They held up a gas cylinder and threatened to press it against us."

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.
