Un report dell’agenzia @Reuters sulle modalità con cui vengono spesi dalle nazioni più ricche i soldi destinati a ridurre gli effetti del #CambiamentoClimatico ha scoperto che l’Italia ha aiutato l’industria dolciaria #Venchi ad aprire dozzine di nuovi punti vendita in Asia.

Interrogato sulla questione dai giornalisti che hanno redatto il report, un rappresentante del governo ha affermato che l’Italia punta a considerare il clima in tutti i suoi aspetti finanziari, senza spiegare come negozi di gelato e cioccolato possano aiutare in tal senso.

➡️ Le lobby agro-industriel inonde les médias de sa complainte pour dénoncer le remplacement du muguet industriel et une poignée de plants expérimentaux non destinées à l’alimentation, par un semis de sarrasin bio.
Comme d’habitude, le gouvernement complice reprend mot pour mot sa propagande. Mais pour qui prend le temps de s'intéresser un tant soit peu aux faits et d'enquêter derrière les piteuses tentatives de #greenwashing, il apparaît que :
🧵1/There is a large, multilingual astroturfing effort around #Cop28 on Twitter right now involving at least 100 fake accounts. The accounts in question are promoting UAE foreign policy, bashing UAE's enemies, and burnishing the UAE's environmental record #deception #greenwashing
2/ Many use stolen photos - either stock photos or those found on the web. They have fully fleshed out bios, including location (usually somewhere in the UAE). Another common tactic is to tag real accounts like @amnesty in the bio to give an air of credibility and plausibility.
3/ For example. Yael Fadel is a space scientist from Cyprus who erm, has tagged @NASA in her bio. I can only assume she works for NASA (hey guys can you confirm?) . When she's not also a stock photo model used by orthodontists, she's subtweeting the Muslim Brotherhood

Leute sagen: Wir brauchen #Fleisch aus #Weidehaltung für die Artenvielfalt, am besten von „wilden Weiden“. Wenn man das ernst meint, um wie viel Fleisch geht es? Auf Basis der einzigen konkreten Zahlen, die ich finden konnte: Um 2 kg pro Person und Jahr. 🧵
Die konkreten Zahlen sind vom Betrieb „Bunde Wischen“, der oft als Modellbeispiel für naturschutzfreundliche Beweidung angeführt wird. Dort liegt die erzeugte Menge bei knapp 37 kg Fleisch pro Hektar pro Jahr. @GerdKammer
Wenn man auf allen Grünlandflächen in Deutschland im Schnitt diese Menge Fleisch erzeugen u das auf 83 Mio. Einwohner*innen aufteilen würde, sind das 2 kg pro Person u Jahr, eine Reduktion des Fleischkonsums um 96 %. Ein Fleischgericht alle 6 Wochen, ansonsten keine Tierprodukte.

We need +70 of those parks to paper match Isar 2 reactor (which runs 24/7). With storage? 150x
The lifetime ~30 years. Then it is waste. New mining / resource exploitation needed with fossils.

So lets add storage (50% efficiency). 150 such parks. Makes 150x200=30.000 ha (min). That is the total area of Munich. PVs is trash in 30 years and needs continuous replacement (fresh fossil powered mining + industry) somewhere in the world.

The total primary power need for Germany is 460 GW. You would need 460/1.4*30.000 ha ~ 1.5x Bavaria (1.5 times red here) as PV park surface. Sounds like a plan.

Au Parlement européen, je suis membre de la commission du marché intérieur (@EP_SingleMarket) pour allier protection des consommateur·ices et transition écologique. Le gros morceau cette année c'est le "paquet sur l’économie circulaire", proposé par la Commission européenne 2/17
Ces textes sont notamment l’occasion de renforcer la fiabilité de la communication commerciale, en bannissant par exemple les pratiques de #greenwashing - un combat qui semble faire consensus au niveau citoyen. Nos débats montrent que c’est loin d’être le cas au Parlement... 3/17
Epic disconnect: Head of @NYUSternCSB sustainability forum saying we’re out of time to move business towards more ESG practices at the same she actively partners with climate criminal #fossilfuel funders like @GoldmanSachs @HSBC and plastics monster @PepsiCo. Why?
Very happen to learn @Chase and other large #fossilfuel banks will have to take buildings for which they hold mortgages into account under #LocalLaw97. Their energy-leaking investments will come back to bite them.
Hallelujah @dgelles for speaking truth @NYUSternCSB: #FossilFuel co’s are funding ESG backlash at the state level. So, quite odd that @nyu is partnering with climate criminals right and left to further their sustainability studies. Also all panel, don’t use Right lingo “woke.”

#CCS wird oft als unabdingbar dargestellt, um die #Klimaziele zu erreichen. Allerdings verwenden die allermeisten derzeitigen CCS-Projekte das CO₂ dafür, um bestehende Öl- und Gasfelder besser ausnutzen zu können. Das nennt sich "Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)" -->
Je nachdem wie man vorgeht, kann man dabei mehr oder weniger CO₂ im Untergrund speichern. Einen guten Überblick dazu gibt diese Veröffentlichung der IEA: nachhaltigwirtschaften.at/resources/iea_…

📌Six types of #GreenWashing
1- Greencrowding is built on the belief that you can hide in a crowd to avoid discovery; it relies on safety in numbers. If sustainability policies are being developed, it is likely that the group will move at the speed of the slowest.
1- Greencrowding is built on the belief that you can hide in a crowd to avoid discovery; it relies on safety in numbers. If sustainability policies are being developed, it is likely that the group will move at the speed of the slowest.
2- Greenlighting occurs when company communications (including advertisements) spotlight a particularly green feature of its operations or products, however small, in order to draw attention away from environmentally damaging activities being conducted elsewhere.
3-Greenshifting is when companies imply that the consumer is at fault and shift the blame on to them
4-Greenlabelling is a practice where marketers call something green or sustainable, but a closer examination reveals that their words are misleading

Neue WIFO-Studie zeigt: 6 Mrd EUR klimaschädliche Subventionen werden unter Türkis-Grün jährlich ausgeschüttet. Das konterkariert jede CO2-Besteuerung&Lenkungswirkung! Noch keine EINZIGE Initiative von Gewessler, solche Förderungen zu ökologisieren/abzuschaffen. Fatal! /1
Stattdessen wird auf Nebenschauplätzen gekämpft, man könnte auch sagen: Es wird #Greenwashing betrieben. Erhöhung des Radbudgets & Flaschenpfand werden als Klimaschutz verkauft, während die großen Brocken unangetastet bleiben. Das ist nicht nur enttäuschend, sondern unehrlich! /2
Aja: Seit drei Jahren fordern wir die Veröffentlichung der Subventionsliste. Parlamentarische Anfragen wurden abgeschmettert. Jetzt wird die Studie am Parlament vorbei geleakt, aus Sicht des Parlamentarismus: ungeheuerlich. Weder Klima noch Anstand würden 2022 noch grün wählen./3
En 2013, un immeuble construit sans permis au Bengladesh s'effondre. La veille, des inspecteurs avaient demandé son évacuation. Les ateliers de confection qui s'y trouvaient ne l'ont pas respectée. Bilan : plus de 1000 morts. ⏬
Dans les décombres de l'immeuble, on retrouve alors des étiquettes de différentes marques : Mango, Tex (Carrefour), Camaïeu ou encore H&M. On retrouve aussi la marque de "commerce équitable" d'Auchan #InExtenso. Vous voyez le problème que ça pose ?
Qualifier une marque de "commerce équitable" alors qu'elle donne lieu à une fabrication dans un immeuble dont on connaissait les risques d'effondrement, ça paraît en effet contradictoire. Des associations décident donc d'attaquer #Auchan pour "pratiques commerciales trompeuses".
