In the year since I last posted on this platform it has become, not just abhorrently virulent, but a greater threat to societies. Just like its owner. There's a reason why so many have found staying is morally indefensible.
Happy to (re)connect elsewhere.

Going under the radar, in the midst of a furor over an August 2023 meeting between Israel's energy minister and Libya's then foreign minister: more fossil gas.

Do as I say, not as I do: The European Union imported last year more Russian LNG than ever.

Icelandic whaling has long been a hot potato. It involves anything from science to business to geopolitics. It's been the subject of much int'l furor but for Icelanders it seems to be mostly about ethics and a sense of sovereignty.

[Ido Liven @IdoLiven]

In the time since, there has been some progress. But after last month the Icelandic government approved at least four more years of whaling, the key issues appear to remain the same.

Fourteen years ago, I took a deep dive in a bid to disentangle the controversy. I pored through reports, crunched some numbers and talked to academics, activists, government officials and a whale watching tour operator. I even visited a whale meat factory. It was truly educating.

"countries reported more than 7 million deaths from COVID-19 but the true death toll is estimated to be at least three times higher".
I knew one of them and have to wonder how many lives could have been saved without the anti-vax disinformation pandemic.

High time for Poland to step up the #JustTransition and move beyond coal.
