Global clean energy goals at risk as China tightens grip on key minerals, IEA warns Asian giant controls over half of world's refining capacity for lithium, cobalt and rare earths. @stuti.bsky.social‬ buff.ly/Bit5Ia0

2 parts tech, 1 part tariffs, add a pinch of protectionism. That seems to be the price recipe for EVs - set to make up 1 in 4 cars sold this year But could this transition happen faster? Should it? And is there a fairer, middle-way? www.independent.co.uk/voices/elect... @the-independent.com

Here it is, finally. The truth. In a landmark #greenwashing legal case brought by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social, #EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels & apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its carbon #offsetting product

Historian of crime, death and women here. The law these women are being persecuted is the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. It is 164 years old. It was introduced when women had no pregnancy tests, no ultrasound scans.

Just read this sentence. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/o...

If anyone wants to understand the recent Indo-Pak tensions, it's history and the role of terror organisation in Pakistan better, I highly recommend this interview. Christine Fair is probably the only one who explained why Trump is suddenly pro Pakistan. www.youtube.com/live/kbwKCe2...

Trump’s incoherent communication and refusal to stick to diplomatic language has caused a lot of confusion in India over the last three days. "I think we stopped a nuclear conflict," Trump said today. 1/3

Very, very short lived ceasefire. Within three hours Pakistani drones were again spotted in Jammu and Akhnoor. Multiple blasts heard

People here seem to know or care little about the Indo-Pak situation. We were seeing drones fly over for 3 nights. Civilians, including children, were killed on both sides. Ceasefire means millions in Kashmir, Punjab can sleep tonight. If Trump played a role in it, I am nothing but thankful.

India and Pakistan agree to a "full and immediate" ceasefire - Donald Trump Source Truth Social truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Very important story from The Print in India. Two months before terrorists killed 26 people in Kashmir, a top US-based space tech company saw an unprecedented spike in orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam and its surrounding areas. theprint.in/defence/paha...

It’s been a difficult and heavy week. But I’m grateful to be part of a team that continues to prioritise clarity, credibility, and care in our coverage — even amid complete chaos. Proud of the tireless effort behind each update and headline. independent.co.uk/asia

What makes it worse is India doesn't have one single news channel left with any research teams. They are picking up anything from X that is viral. People living close to the borders don't know who to listen to.

The barrage of misinformation I have dealt with today since morning is unlike anything I have ever seen. All because Elon Musk gave anyone with 600 rupees the right to use whatever name they want and say whatever they want. Even if it means posing as the army.

NEW: NOAA retires its widely cited billion-dollar weather and climate database amid staff cuts. Unique database had been tallying disaster costs for 45 years. www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/c...

My heart is breaking seeing children pay the price of wars everywhere.. 12-year-old twins Zain and Zoya tried to escape Pakistani shelling last night, but they had barely stepped outside when another explosion tore through the street, killing them both. www.independent.co.uk/asia/india/p...

A second day of fighting has officially been confirmed after unverified videos of drone attacks circulated throughout the day. India just said Pakistan tried attacking its military bases, and in response it targeted its air defence system in many key cities including Lahore.

Anybody here who works on mis and disinformation in South Asia (particularly between India and Pakistan)?

It’s been quite a morning. I’ve jumped on too many war live blogs within minutes of waking up in recent years. Today felt the same initially. I don’t have any grand insight, but a request: don’t believe everything you read, and don’t amplify anything that roots for escalation. Millions live here.

🌍 A seismic shift in Australian politics has just opened the door to the most significant opportunity for Australia's domestic and perhaps its role in international climate action in over a decade. Read more: www.independent.co.uk/voices/austr... @the-independent.com #auspol #Canada #NetZero

Looks like Australia also went the Canada way.. Far, far away from anything resembling Trump

While everyone has eyes on Trump's deportation, what's happening in India and Pakistan after Kashmir attack is also very cruel. Families are being torn apart, people living in a country for decades have been told to return to their country within days. This includes mothers separated from children

Jerusalem wildfires latest: Israel declares national emergency and appeals for aid www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Couldn't believe this real NOAA.

The future of Indus Water Treaty, which has survived wars, border conflicts and prolonged diplomatic freezes between India and Pakistan over the decades, now hangs in balance after a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir. Both regions depend on a few rivers. www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-a...

More than 80% of the world’s coral reefs have now been hit by bleaching-level heat stress in what scientists say is the most extensive global coral bleaching event ever recorded. 🌍🌊 www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Australia's two parties are still neck-and-neck ahead of the next election, but when it comes to energy policy, they’re worlds apart. The outcome could shape the country’s climate future for decades. 🌏⚡ #auspol #climate www.independent.co.uk/voices/austr...

How Pakistan quietly became world’s biggest solar importer South Asian country’s quiet solar surge shows how clean energy is no longer just an environmental choice, but a powerful economic solution, experts say. @stuti.bsky.social

Major tropical storm tides that swamp Bangladesh's coast once a century may strike every 10 years or even more frequently by 2100, a new @mitofficial.bsky.social (MIT) study says | @the-independent.com 🌍🌊 www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

What more is there to say?

Musk routinely denigrates federal employees, and is turning the public sector into a toxic workplace. But you can't criticize him: Musk is using AI "to scan through agency communications to find any anti-Musk, anti-Doge, or anti-Trump statements.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation. Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture... BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...
