Greenpeace Executive to Commute by Train Instead of Plane

Move follows Guardian revelations about Pascal Husting’s flights from home in Luxembourg to offices in Amsterdam. Kitty Terwolbeck/Flickr Greenpeace has said its international programme director will no longer commute to work by plane. Mike Townsley, head of communications at Greenpeace International, said that Pascal Husting would no longer travel 250 miles from Luxembourg to Amsterdam by plane several times a month, but would take the train instead. In a statement, Husting said: “To be frank I’m embarrassed, it was a misjudgment, there’s no doubt about it. It was meant to be a temporary arrangement so I could do the job and be with my family because my kids are so young, but that’s not good enough. The job ended up lasting longer than I expected it would, but I should have been taking the train from day one. That’s happening now.” On Monday, the Guardian revealed details of the flights, which John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, defended in a blogpost. “As for Pascal’s air travel. Well it’s a really tough one. Was it the right decision to allow him to use air travel to try to balance his job with the needs of his family for a while?” To keep reading, click here.

This One Weird Trick Will Help You Cut Carbon Emissions Overnight

Why Obama’s new climate rules aren’t as tough as they seem. The White House/Youtube Just like that, we’re already halfway to our new goal of reducing global warming pollution from power plants. On Monday morning, President Obama announced a new target for carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants: a 30 percent reduction by 2030. The action isas significant as (and possibly greater than) Obama’s previous steps to significantly upgrade fuel efficiency from cars and trucks, and may help deliver a fatal blow to the coal industry. But by choosing a baseline year of 2005 for the target 30 percent reduction, the administration lets industry off relatively easy. As of 2011, the United States had already achieved a 9 percent reduction in economy-wide CO2 emissions since 2005, thanks in large part to the boom in natural gas. Carbon from power plants is down 16 percent, according to the draft EPA rule text. States will get to factor in those gains to their 2030 targets. What’s more, much of the coal that would have been burned domestically since then is just getting shipped overseas. U.S. coal exports have nearly tripled since 2006, adding to the heat-trapping pollution that accelerates global warming, even though domestic numbers show a decline. Read the rest at Slate.
