Court Ruling Protects Endangered Wildlife Nationwide From Dangers of Coal Mining

Center for Biological Diversity: CHARLESTON, W.Va.— A federal court ruled today that the federal government’s attempts to undercut Endangered Species Act protections for the sake of coal mining were illegal. Coal mines will now be required to follow the law and ensure their activities don’t harm protected plants and animals.

I think most peep here on #Fedi already know this, but we can never get tired of saying it:” You probably could do worse than say that the March GDP figures suggest Australia’s economic growth will “push up power prices, prolong the use of polluting coal power stations, increase gas generation, and derail the progress we are making towards our climate goals”.

That quote, however, was not about the GDP but by the Climate Council talking about the boom in datacentres.” (Source: The Guardian)

In the March quarter Australia’s economy grew 0.3%. But the real issue is what drove that growth

The roll call Wednesday was 215-208, but next steps are uncertain. Trump would likely reject any measure from Congress to limit his commander-in-chief authority. Still, the tally, with four Republicans joining Democrats, was a rebuke of the president’s war strategy, and cheers erupted in the House chamber.

House approves resolution to halt military action against Iran

The House for the first time has approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran. Wednesday's action defied President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war. House Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on. The roll call Wednesday was 215-208, but next steps are uncertain. Trump would likely reject any measure from Congress to limit his authority.

‘Jobs in the North Sea, which Blair and rightwing parties have cited as a potential growth area, have been steadily declining alongside the output of the rapidly depleting basin for more than a decide.

About 200,000 oil and gas jobs in the North Sea have been lost since 2013, despite government support and a favourable tax regime for most of that time.’

So who stands to benefit from cancelling #NetZero ? Well that would be #FossilFuel companies who frantically lobby our politicians.
