It's no secret—Big Oil lies. First, they lied to cover up the climate crisis. Now they're lying about their efforts to clean up their plastic tracks. This recycling ruse is unacceptable.

Surprise, surprise (not): Big Oil and plastic companies aren’t actually working to reduce pollution. They only care about their profits, not our planet. It’s past time to crack down on polluters and put our environment first.

Last year we revealed that DRC’s oil and gas block auction had been plagued with apparent preferential treatment and backroom deals. Now the new hydrocarbons minister has cancelled the auction.

NT shows the rest of us how it's done. Turn what was a sad story into one about new opportunities, bring people and nature closer together - and with a species far too many conservationists view as malign.

As many as 10,000 sites across England are contaminated with ā€œforever chemicalsā€, an unpublished government report has found. Clean-up of these PFAS chemicals could cost a ā€œstaggeringā€ Ā£121 billion in a worst-case scenario. Story with @ShoshaAdie šŸ‘‡ https://t.co/QvGk4wtYL3

This week's column is about blatant protectionism, which seeks to defend one of the two most destructive industries on Earth (livestock farming) against competition from new technologies. Just like the fossil fuel lobby trying to shut down renewables. https://t.co/Ujuc3AYHK2

Leaked @UNFAO study on livestock and food security backs larger herd sizes and intensified agri-production. Officials and experts call it biased, cherry picking, and "disinformation". Story by me:
climatechangenews.com
Experts criticize the FAO for not recommending a reduction in the livestock industry in its report, despite the importance of cutting methane emissions to combat global warming.

1/Some of the world’s largest environmental groups have thrown their weight behind meat and dairy greenwashing projects, including ā€œclimate-friendlyā€ beef, ā€œnet-zero�� dairy, the meteoric rise of regenerative ranching, and hyper ā€œefficientā€ Frankenchickens.

Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund are laundering Big Meat’s propaganda. At what cost?
