Gestern wurde die 5. Welle des Household Finance and Consumption Survey #HFCS präsentiert. Auch die neuen Daten bestätigen: Vermögen ist in Österreich stark konzentriert & besteht großteils aus Wohneigentum. @barbaraschuster fasst im #PaperderWoche die wichtigsten Ergebnisse zusammen. 1/

Fossil fuels like propane and isobutane, commonly used for BBQs, are helping replace potent HFC refrigerants, significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions and showing that practical solutions can slow global warming. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/05/world/bbq-gas-cools-a-warming-planet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #cop30 #hfcs #co2 #carbondioxide #greenhousegasses #climatechange #globalwarming #pollution

The #Biden admin, which wrote the #HFC #regulations to enact that law, hoped to eliminate the equivalent of 4.5 billion metric tons of #CO2 by 2050, or about 3 years’ worth of #climate #pollution from the #electricity sector.

Unlike efforts to curb #FossilFuels, plans to reduce #HFCs have won broad support from both #Democrats & #Republicans, as well as industry groups & environmental organizations.

Phasing out #HFCs worldwide could avert up to 0.5°C of #GlobalWarming by the end of the century, which would go a long way toward averting the worst consequences of #ClimateChange. In fact, it was #Trump, during his first term, who signed into #law a measure directing the #EPA to ratchet down the #climate pollutant. The provision was tucked into a sweeping Covid relief bill that passed Congress at the tail end of his presidency.

#law #regulation #GreenhouseGases #SuperPollutants #ClimateCrisis

#HFCs, which are commonly referred to as #SuperPollutants, are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide at warming the planet.

But Lee Zeldin, the #EPA administrator, said the #Biden admin’s plan for cutting the production & consumption of the #chemicals, which aimed for an 85% reduction by 2036, did not give companies enough time to meet their deadlines.

#law #regulation #GreenhouseGases #ClimateCrisis #Trump

The #Trump admin plans to relax a #Biden-era rule that requires grocery stores, air-conditioning companies, semiconductor plants & others to sharply & rapidly reduce powerful #GreenhouseGases used in cooling equipment.

The #EPA plan would unravel what many industry leaders & environmentalists view as a rare success for the #climate: a bipartisan agreement that those man-made #chemicals, known as #hydrofluorocarbons, or #HFCs, should be rapidly phased down.

1/3 of Canadians are obese; steep increase during COVID-19 pandemic
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/obesity-canada-covid-19-study-1.7583300

Comments:
* too many calories
* processed foods
* sugar + fat
* fructose over-consumption: HFCS, glucose-fructose - cane sugar "waste" liquid easily shipped; corporations add to everything to feed consumers' sweet-tooth addictions, drive profit at societal expense (obesity crisis)

A Restricted Climate Super Pollutant Is Pumped Out at Far Higher Levels Than Countries Admit. What Happens Next?

HFC-23 emissions from chemical plants in eastern China and elsewhere likely violate an international #climate agreement despite readily available pollution controls. Advocates are pressing for action.

Rule-of-thumb advice how to avoid the ultra processed food in your buying choices.

* packaged #food item
* has five or more ingredients on the label
* sugar, salt, oils, fats, stabilizers, preservatives on the label
* added flavoring, colorants or texturing ingredients
* ingredients not found in nature, such as high fructose corn syrup #HFCS

I heard that RFK Jr. plans to go after high fructose corn syrup.

I do believe that this food additive is quite bad for us.

So RFK Jr. is right about this.

Should I jump with joy?? Haha, hardly. I bet he's going to want to replace HFCS with antifreeze.

/1 Canola oil: synthetic crap

* check food pkg fo: HFCS; corn syrup; glucose-fructose; fructose-glucose
* corporations put it into literally everything they can
* min. consumption of processed foods

* generally consume natural over (corporate) synthetic:
butter not margarine
lard not Crisco
olive oil (EVOO; source carefully re: counterfeits) not canola (processed junk)

Comments:
* caution: like tobacco industry, sugar/fat industries enormously profit f. HFCS
* beware biased, industry-sponsored research
