Western colonizers have repeatedly used reparations to reward themselves for their criminality. Just as Haitians were forced to pay their former enslavers, the Chinese were forced to pay the British after they failed to shut down the Empire's opium racket. https://t.co/KRvDGmK48a

Is a “Just Transition” away from fossil fuels towards a decarbonized energy system technology specific? The basket of available & scalable technologies: Wind, Solar & Nuclear each come with characteristics that determine wages, levels of unionization & security of employment.🧵1/

Among my most enjoyable posts for India Ink, the NYT blog begun by @HeathaT + @lpolgreen, was a two-part history of Air India, written w. the help of Tata archivists. Now the airline's flying home, back into the Tata hangar. Here's the first of the posts:

@worldbankdata just discontinued its Doing Business reports (DBR). It's a big deal and worthy of an explanation as to what the Bank's project (DBP) was, how it worked, and what went wrong. Thread! https://t.co/fhS5QMBlqS

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! I'm so so excited about this project that just published at @qz.

Here is a thread about how it came about and what it means. https://t.co/HTTNU7FYiH w @ThisisVanjani

This is the impact of fast fashion 👇👇
A new report from @water_witness shows that fashion production is dying African waters blue and pumping toxic chemicals into vital waterways. Another tragic example of brands putting profit before people & planet.

Extremely problematic environmentally. Everyone really needs to understand the scale of this.

Two things worth reading if you want to get the gist of India's palm oil trap. An article by @dire_nair and a thread by @andymukherjee70. Links below 👇🏼

Brazil has sued Olam, a big cocoa trader, for having forced labor in its supply chain. However, Olam argues that it's not liable because it can't trace its supply chain. Fun fact: its website claims it can trace beans down to the farm level! https://t.co/mt9E6bcS3x

Last week India crossed 100 GW installed RE capacity. How did we achieve this? By ignoring land rights of local communities

Here’s a riveting look at how the Chinese govt is illegally snatching people off American streets to haul them back to try them in its own corrupt justice system.

And you can tell that Sebastian Rotella writes spy novels as well:

Don’t underestimate the amount of people that have an interest in nobody really understanding shipping

[The Bastion @_thebastion_]

In June, the X-Press Pearl, a ship with a Singaporean owner & English insurer, completing its 3rd voyage from Malaysia to Saudi Arabia via India, caught fire & spilled toxic chemicals in Sri Lankan waters. So who takes the legal blame for this?🧵
