Meanwhile in Scotland, the Orkneys offer a model for publicly owned wind power schemes that retain profits in the locality.

If the green transition is to be accelerated then this model of green development looks like a viable way of pushing on with the move to renewables.

Energy *should* be a publicly owned utility as its privatisation has demonstrated - so, make the green transition a transition in ownership too?

‘Reduce, reuse, recycle’ is corporate gaslighting – the real change must come from the fossil fuel industry

Recycling and cutting personal waste isn't enough. Polluters must be regulated, and reparations paid by companies that have harmed the environment

Ontario polar bears could be ‘extinct in 45 years’ as Ford’s Bill 5 strips remaining protections

When Ontario Nature’s conservation campaigns and advocacy manager, Shane Moffatt, told The Pointer in May that Bill 5, dubbed Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, is “potentially the worst piece of legislation that Ontario has seen in a generation,” he knew exactly what was at stake

Daily Doom.#Climate

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/15/record-leap-in-co2-fuels-fears-of-accelerating-global-heating

The yearly increase in atmospheric CO2 hit a new record of +3.5ppm to 424ppm. So CO2 concentration is not just still rising, it's still accelerating.

Roughly 13GtC/Yr turned into 40GtCO2/yr and 60GTCO2e until the 1TtC of accessible fossil carbon is all gone.
