Until train travel is subsidised in the same manner that air travel is, the pure economy behind inter-european train travel will prevent many from doing the right thing, even if they wanted to.

🚂 🛫 🌍

No odor. No color. You cannot taste ethylene oxide drifting from the sterilization facility two blocks from the school. What accumulates, over years, is leukemia. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Breast cancer. The body keeps the score the neighborhood never got to see. The EPA classified EtO as a human carcinogen in 2016. Biden's rules required 90% emission cuts and community monitoring. This March, the EPA proposed gutting those rules permanently. 86 registered facilities. Forty-one already received exemptions. Most in low-income zip codes. The gas is the policy is the body count.

Good morning

This is the clearest graphic on global temperature rises I have ever seen - made by Ed Hawkins (U Reading).

Might not telll you anything you don't know but its clarity focusses the mind.

I just wish you the best in the conference.
I wish that there could be also a conference about agriculture and hunger or environment I could attend!
It would be a pleasure to discuss how we youth can be leaders of positive changes in our communities.

A study by University of Wollongong (UOW) physicist Dr Enbang Li has demonstrated that gravity can subtly influence the behaviour of light, a breakthrough that could underpin future technologies for monitoring groundwater, tracking glacier melt, locating mineral deposits and detecting underground changes linked to volcanic activity and carbon storage

Interview: Trump is destroying the Forest Service.

The intent is to "hollow out this federal agency & hand it to the resource extraction industry."

Potentially, there will be a transfer of federal public lands to states.
