Elon #Musk who wants to terraform Mars to make it livable for humans (and presumably our food sources) seems an unlikely person to be politically aligned with #climate change #deniers, but here we are.

People in the US always are surprised when I remind them that the first vice president to address global warming was not Al Gore. The first candidate was a republican. The first president was a republican. Let's go to the videotape!

The White House Effect is a great documentary and stark wakeup to the Trump and Republicans ignorant and evil delusion in promoting fossil fuels as Earth rapidly warms and catastrophes proliferate.

25 years since that awful Tuesday morning and I recall the horror and the heroism. And the ultimate failure of the perpetrators. lnkd.in/p/eFuWCv2E

For 911 will not share images of the horror, but rather I choose to remember that Americans joined together to fight back - on United 93 - regardless of race, religion, gender or political leanings… |...

When public spaces encourage art ... everyone 'wins' #rennes #station #gare

Increasingly clear #privateequity - with its emphasis on shareholder return over customers, employees, the environment, etc. - is the antithesis of #sustainable #business and #development #PE

They didn't fail to see the trend. They curried favor of a climate denier (who happens to be president) over listening to their customers. #nobailout this time.

The car industry didn’t see this coming. In 2015, 330k fully electric cars were sold globally, about 1% of the market. In 2025 it was 14m, close to 1/5 of all new cars. The fleet on the road tells you about the past. Sales figures tell you about the future. janrosenow.substack.com/p/the-car-in...

Je me souviens I remember Treating allies with respect. In #business or politics, understanding who makes you successful is essential. #canada

Gonna be intermittent for a while...so goodbye for now.

Slava Ukraini! The reason we are not all refugees or buried deep under Russian boots is Ukraine. May it prosper always under just peace.

Amazing piece on the nature of climate change denial. Less made by bad actors driven by greed, and more made of our individual and collective mind struggling cope with the horror of the climate crisis. The good thing is that action is not only needed, but also possible and, above all, desirable.

A thought about #AI; some are programmed to be user-affirming. Some may be programmed to generate traffic by being 'challenging' (like Meta's algorithm to keep users on line). Will malevolent (divisive) AIs become more profitable/popular? Will it be like #media with alternative realities?

People wonder how humans could possibly have built the pyramids (example) but we are watching scientific literacy being lost in real time. Recurring #darkages are a pattern throughout humanity when knowledge *reserved for the powerful* becomes a threat to their continued dominance.

US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.

Good to see investing in the future, not the past. #energy is essential. So too a livable planet.

Holy cow. Batteries are growing even faster than I imagined. heatmap.news/daily/batter...

90% (16,200) of the 18,000 comments posted to the US SEC website in response to dropping #climate disclosures were in favor of having the disclosures. Comments came from asset managers, investment funds as well as environmental groups. Climate #risk is #business risk Climate risk is investment risk

Evidence is all around that GOVERNANCE is most important to have when building a #sustainable company, organization or country. Without systems & accountability it relies on individuals making 'right' decisions. We are seeing just how those 'guardrails' that rely on tacit agreement can fail.

Too easy to obsess on Trump but I continue to focus on the topics. Renewable #energy is the future. Get with the program or be left behind (and likely litigated). #economics win over the long term. Treat #employees with dignity, respect and empowerment gets the best results #dei is good business

🔥 New data in: This is was a #solar #energy revolution looks like: an exponential adoption curve 📈 : ☀️ 2012: 100 GW ☀️ 2022: 1 TW (took 10 years from 2012) ☀️ 2024: 2 TW (took 2 years from 2022) ☀️ 2026: 3 TW (took 18 months from 2024)

The future is clear. US government policy is a mistake. US automakers taking the short-term view is ... suicide. They ignored quality and safety ... were bailed out. They ignored economy, and needed rescuing again. No taxpayer funded bailout this time. Time for economics to win over politics.

This is what makes Trump’s attacks on EVs so stupid. To salvage a failing industry that happens to include his big crooked donors, he’s sabotaging America’s auto industry in international competition. Everything else aside, EVs are just better vehicles. www.eenews.net/articles/dri...

#Reporting is step, not the result. It is beginning of 'measuring what matters' when it is taken seriously as business intelligence. I know a company that anually submitted same data to CDP (checking the box). They failed to manage topics that they acknowledged were material to their success.

Markets are still valuing #reputation over #assets. How does a company build 'reputational capital'? Effective sustainability efforts starting with sound goverance. oceantomo.com/intangible-a...

Moment of Zen #nature

One day we will just call it "business." Using separate language, issuing separate reports, acronyms, and even using the traditional language to mean something else ('materiality') all contribute to the idea that what we are doing is separate, apart & distinct from the business of business.

His moral leadership is sadly lacking today. I don't suggest 27 years incarceration as a prerequisite for public service, but it certainly contributed to Mandela's wisdom and temperament.

This day in 1918 Nelson #Mandela was born. A promising career as a lawyer was cut short and he spent 27 years in jail before becoming South Africa’s first democratic president. Here is my #poem: He Lived Among Us A Tribute to Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) www.waynevisser.com/poetry/he-li...

First "planned obsolescence." Then 1970s fuel economy at expense of safety. American automakers have been chasing imports ever since. Again clinging to the past & losing the market. Bet taxpayers get stuck with the bill - again. Bailouts = avoided consequences www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/m...
