“It’s always been difficult for the media, and hence the public, to understand methane,” @billmckibben told me. “As carbon emissions have fallen, methane emissions have risen steadily, it’s possible that our total greenhouse gas emissions have not gone down at all. What a farce.”
@billmckibben STORY UPDATED:
Unraveling rules that it had tried for years to put on hold, the Environmental Protection Agency released a proposal Thursday to cut regulations on methane, the second most potent greenhouse gas that accelerates global warming.

When I was a kid, every earth science class I took, all I heard was "Save the Rainforests."
I can't fathom sometimes (operative word) that now, I'm 33 and here we are. Always seemed adults in the room had reverence for the rainforests and understood their planetary value.
I don't doubt there are students learning about how critical rainforests are today. Not the point ATM. The point, for me: does it matter how much you say "Save the Rainforests" every year to students if this is where it ends up? Platitudes are not collective planning and action.
I wonder if the young kids in school who learn of climate change will ask this type question when they are my age.
"Why did they ignore this? Why didnt they care more? Didnt anyone think to plan for the worst?"

US Atty Justin Herdman's comments on OH cases re: political violence:
"Now let me speak generally to those who are advocates for white supremacy, or white nationalism.  I am talking directly to you."
"The Constitution protects your right to speak, your right to think, and your right to believe.
If you want to waste the blessings of liberty by going down a path of hatred and failed ideologies, that is your choice."
"Threatening to kill Jewish people, gunning down innocent Latinos on a weekend shopping trip, planning and plotting to perpetrate murders in the name of a nonsense racial theory, sitting to pray with God-fearing people who you execute moments later...

A piece by @RollingStone on how WaPo seemingly (and almost entirely) bungled a recent fact-check of the candidate's statement on medical debt and its far-reaching impact.
Excerpt: "To review: the Post fact checker, going straight to the source, a Harvard lecturer, found that Sanders’ was sticking to close to the facts, and if anything understating the problem."
Another excerpt: "The process by which the Post fact checker transmogrified a basically true statement into a ruling of “mostly false” is a case study in the uselessness of the political fact-check as it is often practiced."

Media that covers #Media #Publishing #Journalism #tech #SocialNetworks is often critical of traffic-driving algorithms, distribution of ad revenue, personal data collection/sale. Yet these writers have the ability to get users to force change. /1 notd.io/notes/56844813…
Most of the abuses that this sector of media is critical about come from internet giants, who pay lip service in response, because those abuses are very profitable, & regulation is unlikely in the US & users not motivated enough to change their usage of networks. /2
US regulation that would help stop the criticized practices is unlikely to help, mainly because Congress isn't qualified to design these regulations, so they would leave it to lobbyists working for the industry to be regulated /3

To kick off #Sustainuary then, let's talk about #dairy alternatives like nut juice, oat juice and various other #plantbased drinks. We've never had more choice, but what are the actual #sustainability credentials of these products vs animal milk? #Veganuary
#Dairy production has received widespread criticism for its #carbonfootprint .
The average UK dairy system produces around 1.2Kg Co2eq. per Kg milk . However this varies hugely, mainly depending on the cows' diets and how much fertiliser is used on the pasture. #sustainuary
The most #sustainable #dairy farms in the UK can have carbon footprints as low as 0.5 KgCO2 eq. per Kg milk produced, which are comparable to many dairy alternatives. #Sustainuary #Veganuary
