The recent hit piece against @OCCRP does not deserve any oxygen. Our work is editorially independent. The fact we are funded in significant (but not exclusive) part by US grants is something we’ve always been open about. It’s right there on our website: occrp.org/en/about-us/annual…

Yet, if all the mileage driven by EVs was driven using gasoline instead, China's gasoline demand would have been 14% higher this year, and total oil demand about 3% higher. The increase in EVs will have shaved about 5%-points off gasoline demand growth.

🚨We have a new study that I believe truly pushes the boundary of supply chain #carbon #accounting: we developed an LNG lifecycle assessment model that tracked how gas moves from a well to an export terminal by analyzing gas transactions. #LCA #LNG

Israeli NGOs warn international community it will be complicit if Israel forcibly transfers the population of Northern Gaza
Human rights NGOs based in Israel today called on the international community to take action now to prevent Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the Northern Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups Gisha, B’Tselem, PHR-I and Yesh Din, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan, also referred to as the Eiland Plan, which calls for complete forcible transfer of the civilians of the northern Gaza Strip through tightening the siege on the area and starving the population.
The NGOs reiterated the warning that states have an obligation to prevent the crimes of starvation and forcible transfer, and that if the continuation of the “wait and see” approach will enable Israel to liquidate northern Gaza, they will be complicit. All states and relevant international institutions should act now and use all tools at their disposal - legal, diplomatic and economic - to prevent this.

Absolutely horrific images are circulating of people, including in beds, engulfed in flames from this strike outside Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where displaced people had erected tents. The IDF confirmed the strike, claiming it was against a "command and control center."

“Do not spare them. Put to de*** men, women, children and infants.”
This is the directive issued by Lt. Col. Adi Bekore, deputy commander of the 749 Battalion, one of the main battalions currently fighting in Gaza that has already blown up dozens of homes including mosques in the past weeks. On October 9th he writes on his personal account a command. Quote:
“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

So bulk solar panels now cost about as much as the retail price for sheets of plywood.
I'm afraid this week the standard (bifacial PERC) solar module price fell to $0.095/W.
What a world we live in.

UK govt might drop its 55GW by 2030 offshore wind target (that looks unlikely to be met), reports Bloomberg, so it's interesting to note that @AuroraER_Oxford doesn't think we need that much capacity to decarbonise the power sector anyway
Its net-zero by 2030 power scenario has 51GW offshore wind, including floating, as well as less onshore wind than Labour is targeting too

CHART OF THE DAY: In real terms, adjusted by cumulative inflation, oil prices are now at the same level as they were 20 years ago.
As a result, OPEC+ is suffering a huge drop in purchasing power, with an oil barrel buying fewer and fewer manufactures and services | #OOTT
