​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitu...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

At OHSU, an est. 5,000 monkeys are held captive—bred, traded, and used in experiments funded by U.S. taxpayers.

On Feb. 9, the board overseeing the facility voted to begin talks with federal officials about its future.

But the fight is far from over. To empty the cages, the pressure must continue.

It’s Bean Time The humble legume is the solution to America’s nutritional chaos.

There’s one ingredient protein-maxxers, fiber-maxxers, dietitians, and “real food” enthusiasts can all agree on, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social writes.

Our disaster recovery efforts should not be held up by Republican's demands to give more money to ICE without any reforms.

I'm headed to the floor with @padilla.senate.gov to reject that false choice and call up legislation to open FEMA today.

People like stories about farming and food renegades who claim to have superior tastes and connection to food. But case after case shows food fraud (Belcampo, Willows Inn), labor abuse (Noma, Mission Chinese, Willows Inn again), anti-regulatory zealotry (Polyface) & animal abuse (Canard Soulard).

Separated from their mother soon after birth, calves in the dairy industry are confined alone. 💔

Dairy isn't worth separating families. 🐄🚫

Activists cleared of "burglary" after rescuing puppies bred for testing Contained are the thoughts and reflections from a barrister on the trial

Write up by defence barrister Samuel March about the recent jury acquittal of puppy rescuers:

"where appropriate circumstances are known or believed to exist, taking steps to rescue animals is at least capable of amounting to a defence to dishonesty offences"

It's true, the globalist elites kind of did want us (and livestock) to eat bugs. But that's unlikely to happen. Shuttered insect farming companies now account for almost half of all $ invested into the space

‘You Feel Like You’re Marked’: Salvadoran Workers at Tyson Foods Face Risks Due to Work Permit Delays Longtime poultry plant workers are left uncertain and fearing job loss amid Tyson Foods’ confusion over immigrant Temporary Protected Status — despite their legal right to work.

Big Ag corporations are not victims of Trump's immigration agenda — they gain power from a more vulnerable workforce. Instead of standing up for its Salvadoran employees, Tyson is keeping them in fear and uncertainty: sentientmedia.org/work-permit-...

Can dogs be considered “persons” under the law ? The very old law that might just save these beagles.

@nonhumanrights.bsky.social has launched a new legal strategy, no longer focused on animals' cognitive abilities, but this time on 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀' 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀. Will this new strategy succeed? Angela Fernandez and Justin Marceau delve into the 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 case.

I should add that the "we" here is a global. We're really good at growing lots of plants efficiently. The problems start when we grow those plants to not directly feed humans. Virtually every major ag supply-side problem diminishes in scale synchronously with the reduction of non-food agriculture.
