The unseen toll of Brazil’s offshore oil industry | FairPlanet
As the host of COP30, Brazil has an opportunity to pivot from its extractive legacy. But that window is closing.

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.
3 massive changes you'll see as the climate careens toward tipping points
Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

Here’s something you can do…reduce or eliminate beef from your diet.🐄
Are farting cows climate criminals?
Sounds hard to believe, but Livestock (farmed animals) are responsible for about 10% of global warming!
However, the farting part… that’s not quite right.
(For the record, I’m not a cow hater. In fact, I like them so much, I don’t eat them.)

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.
While agreeing in the round,
I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
