That way I own everything I create and only allow large media companies to be my voicebox!

On that note, glitch.com would also be a good place to create a website


A reminder by example


Here are a few article summaries' (no links), just a bit of narrative, which highlight the difference between what is said and what is done by our politicians (at the global level). It is also why everyone needs to be aware and willing to change the system!

China: A year after Chinese president Xi Jinping “promised China would stop building coal power plants overseas”, the country has “completed 14 such facilities beyond its borders and will finish another 27 soon”, Bloomberg writes, according to a new report. Most of the projects that “were in progress” when Xi made the announcement are “in limbo”, but the recently or soon-to-be completed plants will “emit about 140m tonnes of CO2 a year in total”, the outlet adds, citing a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air and People of Asia for Climate Solutions, a research organisation.

United Kingdom: Plans to block new North Sea oil and gas projects if they are incompatible with the UK’s climate goals “have quietly been ditched”, reports the Times, “prompting accusations that ministers are watering down their climate change policies”. The paper explains: “The scheme was first floated in March last year, in the run-up to the COP26 climate summit, as a middle ground that stopped short of blocking new oil and gas licences entirely but reflected the need to curb carbon emissions from new production. However, officials yesterday confirmed that three of six proposed tests would not apply.” Those tests include those based on “scope 3” emissions, generated from the burning of fossil fuels; whether the additional oil and gas would endanger the goals of the Paris Agreement; and “how much companies were investing in clean energy”, the paper says. It adds: “The changes will mean a much lower bar for the oil and gas companies hoping to win new licences, and will not apply to existing North Sea projects.

Europe: The head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned European countries against a scramble for energy security this winter that threatens to shatter EU unity and trigger social unrest, reports the Financial Times. In an interview at the inaugural Global Clean Energy Action Forum in Pittsburgh, Fatih Birol said he feared “a wild west scenario” if European countries restricted their own trade or stopped collaborating with neighbours amid mounting anxieties about fuel shortages. He continued: “The implications will be very bad for energy, very bad for the economy, but extremely bad politically…If Europe fails this test in energy, it can go beyond energy implications.”
