World’s largest krill harvester at centre of row over ‘blue tick’ sustainability label Aker Qrill is facing criticism of its fishery management amid calls by environmentalists for curbs on Antarctic fishing of the keystone species

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗

To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

Today, I spoke on War & Politics 24 about the narratives Russian propaganda uses to impose the idea that Europe has failed, grown weak, and that Putin is winning. We discussed how to counter this and develop our own narrative. Listen via the link — www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJi...

Stand with Greenland! Greenland is facing a bully. Let’s make this the biggest solidarity petition -- and stand up together against Trump's bullying.

Spanish PM Sanchez says US invasion of Greenland 'would make Putin happiest man on earth' Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said a U.S. invasion of Greenland "would make Putin the happiest man on earth" in a newspaper interview published on Sunday.

"If we focus on Greenland, I have to say that a U.S. invasion of that territory would make Vladimir Putin the happiest man in the world. Why? Because it would legitimize his attempted invasion of Ukraine," he said in an interview in La Vanguardia newspaper

I very genuinely think answering this question is obscenely important. Even if it's something as boring as 'Musk can threaten consequences, particularly through Trump / US, if they shut it down'.

But not a single soul is being forced in any way to keep using it as a comms platform: no one.

Our new analysis of Europe’s largest banks has found progress on climate has ground to a standstill, and in some cases, reversed

As environmental and social risks rise, banks’ responses are still falling short: the average score across the 25 banks was 41%🔽

‘It looks like a bomb hit.' Ex-typhoon Halong peels back as much as 60 feet from Quinhagak’s shoreline Severe erosion in the coastal community has put critical infrastructure in peril and destroyed a vital archaeological lens into the past.

The theft of jewels from the Louvre is terrible. But what about the damage from Typhoon Halong along the coast of Alaska that is washing away Yup’ik artifacts from pre-contact site?

In the next post, Ketan says a trillion barrels of oil is 430 GtCO2. Every ton of CO2 emitted causes 0.00026 excess deaths between now and 2100.
Conclusion: unlocking an extra trillion barrels of oil kills 112 million people.

That’s what I thought too, would have potentially been a more decisive victory. Instead it was a form of capitulation without acknowledgement as such.
