While the West drowns in greenwash hypocrisy, China surges ahead in clean energy, EVs, and steel production with ruthless efficiency. Germany and Britain are busy deindustrializing, shackled by their reliance on overpriced U.S. LNG. The future belongs to those who produce, and Beijing is now writing the playbook for the post-Western world.

"Republicans have managed to unite two health industry sectors normally at war — insurers and hospitals — by threatening to cut Medicaid.

Lobbyists for both industries, faced with the prospect of losing billions of dollars in fees, are scrambling to convince lawmakers that tens of millions of low-income Americans who rely on the program will suffer."

"But while working on the surgeon general’s report, Dr. Nestle witnessed the power food companies wielded; although the report cited overconsumption of saturated fats as a leading cause of death, Dr. Nestle was not permitted to recommend eating less meat, a top source of the fats, because of the Reagan administration’s unwillingness to upset the meat industry."

Losing forest carbon stocks could put climate goals out of reach

“Delaying action leads to disproportionately higher costs,” explains Michael Windisch, the study’s lead author and PIK guest scientist. “Right now, our climate strategies bet on forests not only remaining intact, but even expanding,” Windisch says. “However, with escalating #wildfires like in #California, and continued #deforestation in the #Amazon, that’s a gamble. #ClimateChange itself puts forests’ immense carbon stores at risk.”

According to the study, postponing action to reduce #emissions and to protect and monitor #forests could jeopardise #climate targets. “We must act immediately to safeguard the carbon stored in forests,” Windisch emphasises. “Otherwise, compensating for potential forest carbon losses through steeper emissions cuts in key emission sectors like #energy, #industry and #transport will become increasingly expensive and possibly unattainable.”
