Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

"As a scientist, I've never had reason to be so concerned as I am today for the future we are facing," states PIK Director Johan Rockström as #COP30 kicks off in Belém, Brazil. The first ever Planetary Science Pavilion, under the mandate from COP30 Brazil, and together with Carlos A. Nobre,... 1/2

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive! $126/MWh in 2030! New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas! New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas! Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter. #energysky

3C of global warming means many feet of sea level rise, fundamentally altering coastlines and swamping megacities home to 100s of millions. It means heatwaves that in humid regions could become, literally, unsurvivable for those outdoors without access to active cooling. [11/n]

#Melissa is now one of the strongest storms ever in the Atlantic! In my career I can’t say I’ve seen a more text book structure. Winds 175 mph, Gusts 200 mph Pressure: 906 mb, Cat 5. On its way to #jamaica tonight and tomorrow. Prayers for all to stay safe!

The Trump Action Tracker has an update! Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info? 1/2

#SpéirGhorm #IrishBookWeek #Day8 📚💙 An Irish Book I discovered at a bookshop event. I picked up #TheGhostLimb by @clairemitchell.bsky.social at the #DromoreBookFestival - organised by the legendary @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social. Claire was joined onstage by @lindaervine.bsky.social that night.

Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall. If you know any there, please make sure they’re prepared 🙏

Excellent review of For & Against a United Ireland by the ever-illuminating Katy Hayward www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

‘The verdict in Belfast is not the end of the Bloody Sunday story. It is merely the latest chapter in a decades-long struggle between truth and concealment, between families seeking accountability and a state that denied it.’ John Finucane, M.P. Tribunemag.co.uk

The Bloody Sunday massacre was the biggest mass murder of British citizens since Peterloo, Manchester in 1819. Let that sink in. Not only was no one convicted of the murders but the colonel in charge of the Paras was given an honour.

The acquittal of soldier F came about according to Justice Lynch because F would not give evidence & refused to answer police questions. Also the statements of other soldiers who had been with soldier f had committed perjury and altered their statements under pressure of the MP.

There are more questions which now need addressing. What action will be taken against those who committed perjury during the Saville inquiry? What action will be taken against the MoD who destroyed tge weapons used by tge murderers even after they were told not too by Saville

Soldier F found not guilty in Bloody Sunday murder trial. So no convictions for the murder of 13 people during an anti-internment March in Derry in 1972. So much for the rule of law in the UK? ‘And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in winter.’ The Road to Derry, Séamus Heaney, 1972.

Plug-in hybrid cars are essentially a massive fossil fuel demand protection scam enacted on well-meaning consumers trying to do the right thing The gap between reported and real emissions is just utterly bonkers - new @transenvuk.bsky.social study here www.transportenvironment.org/articles/smo...

I'm utterly gobsmacked at how much this article misrepresents our research and our position. This follows personal communication which should have clarified any of these misinterpretations.

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground. Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep. Let's rewild the world 🌏

I'm sorry, but this is unjustified, optimistic, drivel Governments across the world are turning away from green measures and FF corporations are expanding operations Best we can hope for is a return to the Pliocene - 3C hotter and sea levels eventually up 20m www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

This image distortion is what Mussolini did for his march on Rome in 1922.

Musk sharing an AI generated image of the Arc de Triomphe with loads of England and Union flags thinking it's London is peak information disorder.

Lewis Goodall, "This is Elon Musk, turning up at a far right rally, basically inciting violence in this country" "Most people in this country have no desire to go there, or look at it, or have any interest in that sort of rhetoric" "And yet, we are being pushed and pushed and pushed towards it"

This is McCarthy era behaviour and shame on the university for losing 160 staff n students this way- the accused do not even know what the complaints were about and are not allowed to see the accusations which seems quite frankly out of the 1984 playbook

The DUP’s support for Brexit, then hard Brexit, then Johnson (who betrayed them as he betrays everyone), and now ECHR-exit is perhaps the most obviously self-harming run of decisions that any democratic political party has ever taken.

Great to see my book with these two important analyses. How much longer will the British government continue cover-up the role of the intelligence services and their agents who operated without a legal framework and accountability throughout the conflict? Families need the truth.

Satellites have been tracking the water held in glaciers, lakes and the world’s vast underground reserves — aquifers. A extensive analysis of that data reveals water is rapidly disappearing beneath much of humanity’s feet, and large swaths of the Earth are drying out. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Total f&%kery is going on with the 3-year running average of the global sea-surface temperature as temperatures continue to trend significantly above "accelerating warming." Zen kōan: What is the sound of one planet dying?

Farage has now said very clearly he will remove judges he does not approve of and abolish UK citizens' human rights. No-one at the BBC, Sky or ITV - or inside the government - seems to think it is worth highlighting. This is exactly what sleepwalking towards autocracy looks like.

It is the moral responsibility of Irish ppl, & 100m ppl of Irish heritage, to demand the starvation of the children of Gaza, & their families, ends. This crime equals the Holocaust; to knowingly starve babes in the womb, children & adults to death. Ireland knows brutal famine. It must end:

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)? Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts! NEW POST -->>>

The legacy of this genocide will last beyond any of our lifetimes. We’ve arrived at this point after decades of the US doing everything in its power to defend and fund the Israeli government’s policies of ethnic cleansing, land theft, and now starvation and genocide. This depravity must end.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

What a privilege to be able to take a photo of Fair Head on the Antrim coast as I try to rid my mind of the daily horror images from Gaza and reflect on the total failure of the international rule of law.

UK Govt to kick off public-private partnerships in England. It is new name for Private Finance Initiative. Private sector invests £1, gets £6+ back. The state guarantees corporate profits. Nothing learnt? Govt can create money, borrow, do QE, tax the rich ... why hand free cash to corporations?

Il mondo è un posto pericoloso, non a causa di quelli che compiono azioni malvagie ma per quelli che osservano senza fare nulla.
