Been listening to Clara Mattei for a while now. She certainly makes the rounds and is worth listening to

Top story: “Long term, it’s going to set a lot of precedent that pushes the law away from environmental protection, which will either lead to more-harmful outcomes for the environment, broadly speaking, or will necessitate the development of new legal and policy approaches.”

Man v. Nature: Trump Appointees Are Shredding Environmental Protections

Federal appellate courts are enacting an anti-environment agenda—especially in the ultraconservative 5th Circuit, new analysis shows.

I see nuts as a great source of nutrients but they can't be the main source of protein in a sustainable diet. For this we need beans, lentils, peas, and seeds!

@crystalzenith

Yes, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and chia seeds are all great too!

@crystalzenith

I think that all the article is saying here is that cereals alone are not enough for a balanced diet, and it mentions ways to achieve a diverse and balanced vegan diet, such as mixing cereals with legumes and taking vitamin B12 supplements. I understood that the key point here from an agricultural point of view is that we can't rely on cereal monocultures for our nutritional needs but need to plant more crops like peas, beans, lentils to enable balanced and sustainable diets.

Toxic oil waste is increasingly shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma, contaminating the state’s drinking water.

We found that regulators identified 2,000 problem wells in a 2021 report. Then they ignored their findings.

Oil Regulators Found Hundreds of Wells Violating Oklahoma Rules. Then They Ignored Their Findings.

Oklahoma took on an ambitious project to catalog all of the state’s injection wells, which shoot toxic waste generated by oil drilling back into the ground. Despite records showing risk of drinking water pollution, the state chose not to act.

This one is NOT good for your mental health, especially of you’re allergic to bad [and doom] news.
But if you want to know how what is going to happen, you need to make scenarios. Predictive scenarios from before last year tend to be too positive. They tend to be based on averages. On parts of the proposed measures having the desired effect, or even being implemented.
Learning lessons of how politicians and BigMoney have been doing lately, I’m not very hopeful, even scared.
So maybe it’s better to base your expectancies on a Worst Case Scenario.

The three warmest years on record are 2023, 2024 and 2025. It's starting to look a bit like a trend, and not in the direction we want. Now a team of financial risk managers has crunched the data and published their findings on what's likely to be causing the uplift. It's not great news!“

Take a good look at the large list of referal links below the video.

From Asher Elbein in our magazine: “This assumption that rattlesnakes must simply be exterminated reaches its bloody culmination in the ‘rattlesnake roundup.’ ... Since 1958, the most famous of these has been held in the West #Texas town of Sweetwater.” https://www.texasobserver.org/consider-the-rattle/

Consider the Rattle

In a state that still hosts grisly “rattlesnake roundups,” human Texans should learn to see something of themselves in their ancient, slithering kin.
