A Fight Over Big Tech’s Emissions Has the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Caught in the Crossfire

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/story/greenhouse-gas-protocol-caught-in-big-techs-friendly-fire/

Cities worldwide are turning GHG Protocol data into bold climate policies. From clean energy and transport to nature-based solutions and climate education, urban leaders are driving SDG-aligned action. To scale impact, they need finance, policy alignment, and citizen engagement. Climate justice must guide every decision. Let’s fund what works—locally and globally.

GHG Protocol 2025 Insights : Bridging emissions tracking with real-world policy solutions

By Prasanth Natarajan | Climate Campaigner | SDG Strategist | Poetic Provocateur As the climate clock ticks louder, cities stand at the frontline of both crisis and solution. From Copenhagen’s carbon budgets to Freetown’s digital tree census, urban centers are rewriting the story of climate action—e

🌍⚖️ Flawed carbon math has let major polluters dodge responsibility, shifting the burden to smaller nations. A new Utrecht study urges fairer climate accountability—and courts are stepping in to enforce it.

The flawed carbon math that lets major polluters off the hook

Past climate assessments let big polluters delay action, placing more burden on smaller nations. A new method based on historical responsibility demands steep cuts from wealthy countries and more financial support for poorer ones. Courts are now stepping in, making climate justice not just political but also legal.

While I was remembering #FDotM scribblings from last November, Primus Canis himself was making new ones:

Key line: "Did you know that since 2001 almost every federal resources minister has gone to work for the fossil fuel industry shortly after leaving parliament?"

Net zero! It’s not even a real thing so why does everyone hate it?

You can sell fossil fuels overseas till the cows come home as long as you don’t burn it here

EU:n "hiilidioksidipäästöjen poistosuunnitelma" BECCS:n avulla uhkaa lisätä päästöjä. Se on ilmastotoimiksi naamioitua sääntelyn viherpesua. Saastuttajat voisivat ostaa päästöoikeuksia, jotka eivät vähennä ilmaperän hiiltä. Tässä tuhlattaisiin miljardeja ja sallittaisiin saastuttajien jatkaa vanhaan malliin.

Tarvitsemme todellisuutta vastaavaa hiililaskentaa, emme lisää tukia metsien tuhoamiselle ilmastotoimien nimissä.

⚠️ Breakthrough & trade-off: ESA’s Biomass satellite to revolutionize global forest carbon measurement 🌍🔋

🎯 P-band radar penetrates canopies to directly ‘weigh’ trunks and large branches
🚫 Power down zones over North America & Europe—must avoid jamming reconnaissance satellites
⏳ Five-year mission covering remote, data-poor forests like the Amazon
📊 Actionable insights for policymakers on carbon stocks, deforestation, and climate resilience

Balancing cutting-edge science with geopolitical constraints—how should we harness this data to drive real change?
