Outrage as US government advances $8bn Alaska oil drilling plan
The US government approved a somewhat reduced version of the "Willow
project" for oil drilling in
northern Alaska.
Reducing the size of the project may reduce the danger it adds, but surely
it will still increase the danger of climate breakdown. It appears that
the Interior department, and Biden, do not appreciate how much danger we
are all in.
A study based on neural network modeling suggests that even with
substantial emissions cuts we might have 2°C of global
heating in 50
years.
*Where the study departs from many current projections is in its estimates of when the world will cross the 2°C threshold.*
Considering the magnitude of the disaster we are skirting, it behooves
us to be conservative — in the normal sense of the word, not the
misleading synonym for "right wing". We need to cut more, and faster,
to reduce the risk of climate breakdown.

‘As terrifying as it is absurd’: Greens lash facial recognition plan for all NSW pubs and clubs
Australian pubs are starting to use facial recognition in areas with
gambling machines, to keep people out who have requested
not to be
allowed to gamble.
The basic idea sounds harmless in principle. It would seem that if
you have not added yourself to the list of people to exclude, this
system won't affect you. But is that really true?
I wonder who else will have access to the face scans of people who
visit the club? Will those scans go into a system connected to the
internet?
Will state agencies be able to add faces to the list of people to
exclude? Will state agencies be able to collect the face scans of
everyone that enters?
