Implats may axe up to 3,900 jobs in face of falling PGM prices, rising costs. Job cuts would be applied to its Rustenburg and newly acquired Bafokeng operations in North West and its Marula mine in Limpopo, equating to a 9% head-count reduction. dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-0…

My grandparents helped hide Jews fleeing southern Italy in railroad tunnels, and then lived in those tunnels for weeks, eating dirt and grass, until American soldiers came through. You bought a kaffiyeh from Amazon and glamped for a week on the middle of Manhattan.

📢The G7 has just agreed to phase out coal power by the early 2030s - almost all members are already taking major steps to achieve this goal by 2030, in alignment with 1.5°C pathways. This is big step for Japan, the only #G7 country without a domestic coal phaseout commitment.
