China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say
  • It'd be interesting to know how much of that is a mercantilist attempt to capture market share in other countries (i.e., dumping) and how much is reflective of a sincere effort by the Chinese government to address the climate crisis.

    I suspect it's the former, since alongside China's renewables investment, China's emissions of greenhouse gases continue to grow, as does its consumption of coal.

  • US banks seek to open vendors’ black box on green data
  • This is likely to become an issue with climate modeling as well, as interested parties attempt to poison the discourse with fake analysis and phony effects models. Perhaps, with the banks, the Fed should require the use of open, peer-reviewed models and reject the use of any closed-source model.

  • There are better ways to protest climate change than spray painting Stonehenge [with easily removed corn starch] | Just Stop Oil activists could take a page from the civil rights movement, experts say
  • There is no one universally right way to do activism.

    There are, however, many ways that are demonstrably wrong.

    If you're acting in a way that gives rise to credible speculation that you're secretly funded by Big Oil, maybe it's worth considering the possibility that you're a counterproductive cosplaying fool.

    We need a diversity of tactics.

    Running unarmed at a machine-gun nest is a tactic. But a diversity of tactics is only a good thing when those tactics actually work.

  • Nigel Farage praised by Russian state media over Ukraine war comments
  • I suspect that Powell would be disgusted by someone like Farage. Powell was wrong-headed and eccentric, but not a con artist. And he was responsible for the deaths of many Nazis and Japanese Imperial soldiers.

  • Nigel Farage praised by Russian state media over Ukraine war comments
  • But the part they like is that he blamed the West for somehow forcing them into a war of aggression against a weaker neighbouring county that they had already invaded in 2014 and whose government they had interfered with, including installing their stooge Yanukovich.

    They can ignore the disclaimers, they got the substantial part of their deal.

    Now he can enjoy dirty Russian money via back channels, just like Le Pen, Orban and the rest of the jackbooted shits.
