#30daysOfBiking Could we ever just tell cars to turn around / go away, instead of leaving a narrow residential street open to thru traffic during construction? (Chestnut winds down the hill off the end of this stretch of Vermont.) This street shouldn't even be open to thru traffic when it's not torn up and covered with steel plates. #Portland has cars for brains, bankrupting the city and saddling future generations with debt because of it. #pdxBikes #ClimateDenial #transportation #CarSupremacy

Big Oil war profits: $30m every hour

"$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds
Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026."

"The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran, according to exclusive analysis for the Guardian. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom and ExxonMobil are among the biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza, meaning key opponents of climate action continue to prosper."

"Jess Ralston, the head of energy at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said: “This oil and gas crisis is illustrating yet again the cost of our dependence on volatile fossil fuels." >>

"So, shall we label this as fake science?" is probably the discussion in all those climate denial circles and in the BP boardroom it can be ignored as the shareholders horizon is way shorter than the future collapse of AMOC.

#Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

"According to Crusoe’s 465-page permit application, the power plant would emit as much as 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change, per year. For comparison, the entire city of San Francisco emits about 4m tons of carbon dioxide annually."
