🧟🚈 Zombie rail?

This Halloween season, our friends at @hothouseclimate reflect on doomed high speed rail (HSR) projects, the regions they haunt—and how they might come alive.

Part 2/3 of an HSR series!

What a cool resource from The Open Notebook! I had to lurk and scrounge on Facebook group pages to find science writers when I wanted to learn more about the field.

Now science writers and editors, can be found in one place @Open_Notebook

The US has ceded control over disaster recovery and climate adaptation to an opaque and profit-driven industry that is rife with fraud and abuse. Chilling investigation by @bri_sacks in @washingtonpost. https://t.co/5loQuoieUx

Only 11% of philanthropic foundation leaders said in a survey they consider their foundation’s strategy for addressing climate change very effective. We are here to help.

Thank @hothouseclimate for highlighting effective climate philanthropy: https://t.co/AE1lrrYTnC

[Giving Green @GivingGreenE]

"Annually, still less than 2% of total global charitable contributions go to help the climate. But the tides might be finally starting to shift."

Great to speak to @cadencebambenek of @hothouseclimate about effective climate philanthropy https://t.co/AE1lrrYly4

For the last 9 months, The Guardian analyzed projects from the biggest carbon offset provider in the world.

They found "94% of the credits had no benefit to the climate."

Some of the biggest corporations in the world are using these offsets to claim they are "carbon neutral."

[Akshat Rathi @AkshatRathi]

I know this is not the main point, but this startup pumping sulfur into the atmosphere is selling carbon offsets tied to something they know they cannot measure or verify.

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE BUYING IT.

Feeling apprehensive about approaching elections? @hothouseclimate has some good suggestions for stretching your donation bucks across climate-forward candidates: https://t.co/JyhVZMYXwH

"Every small act, or climate-conscious public utilities commissioner, can bend the trajectory of our emissions. These decision—installing a pipeline, permitting a solar farm—are magnified by the magic of compounding math, buying us time." 🗳️ #vote #climate https://t.co/daccy2e1Qw

Sometimes I just think about how there’s absolutely no silver lining to Shein. The clothes are full of lead. The clothes are made in exploitative conditions. The clothes are contributing to pollution and global warming. The clothing designs are stolen. And the clothes fall apart.
