Are you serious Netherlands?!

"Unfortunately, Kassa will be forced to close at the end of next year due to budget cuts in public broadcasting. We think it's a shame. And you feel the same, as evidenced by the overwhelming support we've received."

OMG 🤬

Global regulations are having air quality benefits in ports and open oceans. @ncas-uk.bsky.social scientists used aircraft and ground measurements, with STEAM3 model predictions, to assess sulfur emissions from ships.

The @democrats.org should be capitalizing on the NASCAR trial to show how the rich are ruining things and how their policy proposals (wealth taxes among them) could temper the damage and remedy some of the injustices (and maybe even save stock-car racing going forward).

If you live in the United Kingdom, then I urge you to watch Channel 5's documentary on the Great Smog. While it isn't (yet) available overseas, it looks absolutely brilliant - and terrifying - and might just awaken you to the devastating reality of air pollution.
Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the 1952 Great Smog of London, one of the worst air pollution disasters in history, resulting in an estimated 3,000-12,000 deaths from respiratory and cardiovascular complications.

If fuel is causing an air pollution crisis, then it is not cheap.

Our economy depends on consumption.

You know what else used to be called "consumption"?

Tuberculosis.

Food for thought.
