Proposed new #UK #oil and #gas fields would provide at most three weeks of energy a year | #FossilFuels | The Guardian

In other words they are a folly, producing only a marginal improvement in #energy security while at the same time massively expensive and contributing to #GlobalWarming.

I’ve been looking for #journalism that doesn’t just shock with how serious the #ClimateCrisis threat is, but that holds to account the powerful people and institutions that control the big decisions determining our future. Anyone seen this kind of reoprting? Instead, we’re getting stories blaming ordinary people for not caring enough https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/climate/climate-change-extreme-weather.html?unlocked_article_code=fGyFF_OByAnuDnTSaUlLDcYnqKwOhRwXT5hNTXx2Q7dceJ-Eqb5tOn-sfNzIHKiRjuDWuuFCsOSaygB8EBbkJh2KbJ-wWURnivABASa9QZ_wNFvHDDVOHpmooxckdIe_zX-oj4_A390TlR3YAPofayiPNbYC1hCDNpi5PO2EJg5X5zv8yMDpggT07xgpuvSmiMYPhJYT5ltoR91o3UqnlzEa-fu357iasklI-n1Xd2k1FasgZPr7nyEFWXJ3QFWKJUHLD6Zp6xPDY7FN3nb46Rc74gj_hcjSyhP9LpXQM9rTrt26VzQg_AilSYONmbvZgewdFicHXUNjXt_TAHTwFtRL2XNRs0i7&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare How about laying out the many actions that have been identified for helping, who controls them and what’s being done? #USPol #ClimateChange

A hack I use a lot these days if, say, posting on Facebook or (via my mostly dormant account on) Twitter is to post to Mastodon (or some other Fediverse service) and then copy a link to that post and into the closed platform, with some teaser info included, but requiring people on those closed platforms to visit an open platform if they want to see what I have to say. It demystifies open. 2/2
