@Hypx Another announcement of a #vaporware project for #bamboozling investors into funding some more #greenwashing. Wonderful.
🤮
And I say that as a big fan of both renewable energy and aviation. But this won't work on so many levels.
"Traditional" #SAF aren't great, either, but still vastly more practical, and, at least mid-term, a lot greener than typical hydrogen, and compared to actual "green" hydrogen, dirt cheap.
In the meantime a material scientist that I really admired is hosting a Rio Tinto-sponsored podcast about 'sustainable materials' (not linking because I don't want to promote it). If you wonder how #greenwashing happens and why sometimes people don't trust experts.
As usual, #IMF enforcing capitalists' debts over #Pakistan by forcing #austerity over a #ClimateCrisis stricken country, while (2 years on) promised funds by international banks remain #Greenwashing stunts.
'..why there has been a delay, Mr Ye said that the amount pledged was for reconstruction.. "..the new climate risk profile and the possibility that these areas may be flooded again,”...'
#Stadtradeln obwohl gut gemeint, ist oft oberflächlich. Es fördert temporäres Radfahren ohne langfristige Veränderung. Statt kurzfristiger Events bei wahrscheinlich bestem Wetter brauchen wir nachhaltige Investitionen in sichere #Radwege, um den #Radverkehr langfristig zu fördern.
Schaut auf die Kommunenseiten der teilnehmenden Städte: die Quote der teilnehmenden Parlamentarier ist erbärmlich!
Dang. I’ve fallen for this. I love soft “bamboo” clothes, but it turns out, it’s just rayon, which is not at all eco-friendly. Dang, and dang again. #greenwashing
Was soll denn das?
Rindfleisch und Milchprodukte gehören zu den klimaschädlichsten Lebensmitteln. Und der Discounter #Penny bewirbt diese Produkte allen Ernstes mit "Dein Einkauf fürs Klima". #Greenwashing pur.
Warum ist so etwas erlaubt?
Bäume fürs Klima und Tiny Forest-Konzept: talbuddeln lädt zu zwei Vorträgen ein
Zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit am 3. Oktober pflanzt talbuddeln traditionell neue Bäume in Wuppertal. In diesem Sommer lädt die Interessengemeinschaft zudem zu zwei Vorträgen in den BOB-CAMPUS ein. In diesen werden das Bäume pflanzen in Zeiten des Klimawandels und die Idee eines Tiny Forest, also kleiner "Urwälder" für die Stadt, vorgestellt und diskutiert.
A US push to use #ethanol as aviation fuel raises major climate concerns
"The IRA offers a tax credit of $1.25 per gallon for SAFs that are 50% lower in #Emissions than standard #JetFuel, [but] A 2022 EPA analysis surveyed the findings from a variety of models that estimate the life-cycle emissions of #corn-based ethanol and found that in seven out of 20 cases, they exceeded 80% of the climate pollution from gasoline and diesel."
"There is currently “no realistic or scalable alternative” to standard kerosene-based #JetFuel, and touted “sustainable aviation fuels” are well off track to replace them in a timeframe needed to avert dangerous climate change, despite public subsidies."
“It’s a huge #greenwashing exercise by the #aviation industry. It’s magical thinking that they will be able to do this.”
Près de la moitié des fonds commercialisés en Europe sous un nom « vert » investissent dans les énergies fossiles, révèle une enquête dont « Le Monde » est partenaire.
UniSuper member Dr Christopher Standen has, through the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO), lodged a complaint with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Two of the funds that UniSuper markets as “sustainable” have significant investments in the Transurban Group, one of the world’s largest toll road operators.
“Transurban Group’s business model relies on increasing road traffic, which increases climate and other pollution,” Dr Standen said.
Mitt inntrykk er at #Storebrand prøver å ha et veldig image av å være den bærekraftige banken.
Vel, i dag oppdaget jeg at de tilbyr "platinum" bankkort for dem med 1 mill i lønn eller på bok, hvor alle fordelene handler om reise – ink reiseforsikring med egenandel på leiebil inkludert, billigere leiebil, rabatt og oppgradering på hoteller, og det de trekker mest fram: To gratis besøk på "lounge" på flyplass!
A major Canadian oil sands group has been running advertisements on Google that target people seeking information about oil industry “greenwashing,” the practice by which companies make false and misleading environmental promises.
Pro-hydrogen tech bros will have a sook over this article, but reality has a way of asserting itself against their inane arguments. They're a sad bunch who like to think they're doing something good for the environment but they're in denial and cannot accept they've been sucked-in by greenwashing of the fossil fuel lobby who're trying to prolong the use of methane.
Wie auch deutsche lokale Erdgasversorger über zweifelhafte CO2-Kompensationen ihr fossiles Geschäftsmodell als "ökologisch" und "grün" verkaufen und sogar dem Ausbau der fossilen Gasindustrie in anderen Ländern Vorschub leisten.
KLM Loses Dutch #Greenwashing Case on Climate Advertising
"#KLM makes climate claims in advertisements that are “based on vague and general statements about environmental benefits, thereby misleading consumers,” the district court of Amsterdam said in its judgment Wednesday. The carrier didn’t provide travelers with honest and concrete information, it said."
"European Union authorities have started action against 20 #airlines for misleading “#greenwashing” practices.
They said airlines needed to make clear to what extent claims that the CO2 emissions caused by a flight could be offset by climate projects or through the use of sustainable fuels can be substantiated based on sound scientific evidence."
