"From the last boreal forests in Sweden to plantations in Brazil, via the New Zealand countryside and the wide open spaces of Poland and Romania, Disclose has traced the Swedish multinational’s supply chain." A 90-minute documentary sheds new light on the insatiable appetite of the forest ogre: https://disclose.ngo/en/investigations/ikea-the-tree-hunter @climate#Ikea #DiscloseNGO #forests #CO2 #emissions #carbon #DiscloseNGO #quotas #deforestation #industry #industrialization #carbonFootprint #climateChange #furniture #Sweden

Timber-production forests are twice less likely to burn as timber plantations: "We find plantations in temperate regions were twice as likely to suffer stand-replacing wildfires than natural production forests, including in vital timber-producing nations like China and Russia. Plantations in tropical regions showed no clear effect". Bousfield et al. (2025). "Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59272-6 #plantations #forests #wildfires #carbon #GHG #climateChange #emissions #CO2

EPA eliminates rule that limits planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, an action the agency said would remove more than $300 billion in costs for the industry and help “unleash” American energy. The rule change, first proposed last year, represents a […]

The Trump administration is rescinding climate controls on coal and gas-fired power plants, one of its most aggressive moves so far to unwind U.S. environmental regulations. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/09/15/energy/trump-epa-regulations-power-plants/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #emissions #environment #epa #climatechange #us #donaldtrump #republicans #coal #gas #fossilfuels

"With global #temperatures already at or arnd the more stringent Paris 1.5°C threshold,the remaining carbon budget for “well below 2°C”–taken as an 83% chance of not exceeding 2°C–requires global CO₂ #emissions to fall by around 8% year-on-year." #climate https://climateuncensored.com/response-to-open-letter-to-desnz-about-rosebank-jackdaw/

@agriculture@a.gup.pe @ecology@a.gup.pe 🧵 Against #methane 🚦 • Institutions should support vegetal proteins and dairy. • Social movements may target the meat industry. • Animal husbandry in the USA, Brazil, Argentina, are the emittive from enteric fermentation. Corporations should look at how other continents (not Australia) work. • Any country should ban bovine import from Brazil, Argentina, US, Australia. • Any country should castrate male calves. Particular buffalos in Pakistan & India. #beef #emissions #GHG

Changing our diets and ways of producing food is crucial to combat climate change and increase human health. A key change is lessening the impact of meat and animal products like eggs and dairy. 🧵 #FAO #animalProduction #animalWelfare #food #animal #animals #welfare #deforestation #beef #chicken #poultry #imports #exports #agriculture #freeTrade #eggs #milk #diet #dairy #publicHealth #OneHealth #inflation #GreenHouseForcing #emissions #trade

Across 165 countries, the highest GHG emissions from diet are among highly educated urban men aged 15-34. Median is 5.7 kgCO2e/day, against 2.9 for rural women aged 35-54 with low education. In others words, the impact on climate is roughly double in a group with more resources, choice, and agency.
