RT by @EUKommWien: 🤩 Deal! @EUCouncil & @europarl_en just reached a provisional agreement on CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles (#HDVs).
🚛 The aim is to further reduce CO2 emissions in the road transport sector & to introduce new targets for 2030, 2035 and 2040.

It’d be interesting to see all of the Montreux stuff get an official HD release #oldmedia #sony #hdvs #hivision #internetarchive
Of course no New Year’s Eve is complete without browsing through the October 1993 Sony HDVS Software catalog:

Props to Op/Reely for archiving all this wonderful stuff!
Stop logging native forests in a climate and biodiversity emergency Pt 1
Logging NSW native forests - How is the air pollution and greenhouse pollution monitored?
Logging operations by NSW State Forestry involve road enlargements lasting months before the actual extraction takes place. The forests paths are trailblazed to push the huge and heavy machinery into biodiversity habitats. All this is done with fossil fuel-powered heavy-duty vehicles and machinery. These actions contribute to the emission and/or creation of health-harming air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
“Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) disproportionately contribute to the creation of air pollutants and emission of greenhouse gases—with marginalized populations unequally burdened by the impacts of each.”
Traffic-related pollution leads to premature deaths through direct air pollution.
“Traffic-related pollution can trigger a variety of health problems, including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease and ultimately premature death. Air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles is higher in urban settings, in areas close to interstate highways and along truck routes.”
Climate disruption leads to weather extremes and disasters (bushfires, floods, drought and heatwaves) All involves human suffering, and impoverishing the web of biodiversity.
These 'extras' or externalities are not on any balance sheet. The robbing of habitat and the associated impacts on residents and wildlife deminish the web of life.
There seems to be no monitoring of the pollution cause inside wildlife habitats, the human habitat (Bellingen/ Gleniffer homes) and the global atmosphere. (Climate Change Detection and Attribution)

Logging NSW native forests - How is the air pollution and greenhouse pollution monitored?
It is not ok to do industrial logging in a biodiversity crisis.
It is not ok to kill our atmosphere
It is not ok to kill the diversity of life on the planet.
