What can be done to save Lough Neagh & the many water bodies choking with algae & poisoned with pathogens? Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social discusses this with @pennyjohnes.bsky.social on this week's BBC Rare Earth. share.google/PRxnRxMDU9Z6... 🧵 1/8

This is a common issue in rural areas. @savewindermere.bsky.social highlights the terrible impact this is having in the Lake District, for instance: share.google/FBy2mchzL9rI... 3/8

"At least 12 Palestinians, including a pregnant woman and a child, have been killed in Israeli air strikes in central Gaza" Ceasefire? What ceasefire?

So, just watching ’The Other Bennett Sister’ and I see the Box Tree Moth was around in Jane Austen’s time! Oh dear.

At @commonseac.parliament.uk we're launching an inquiry into the environmental impact of UK data centres, which seem likely to be gas-powered. Brits shouldn't have to face higher bills and accelerated climate change in Starmer's bid to become an “AI superpower” www.politicshome.com/news/article...

In September, a government-commissioned report warned: "AI's water demand could reach billions of cubic metres annually, posing a substantial threat to water security worldwide and, critically, within the UK." "Growth" that does such damage is utterly insane.

"Palantir, the US AI surveillance and security firm with hundreds of millions of pounds in UK government contracts, poses 'a national security threat to the UK', according to two anonymous high-level sources working with the Ministry of Defence."

Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

Health officials warn that Reform UK would use Palantir’s NHS contract to conduct data sharing for US-style immigration raids. The UK government must cease all contracts with Palantir now. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...

Trump broke it, he can fix it

No to Palantir in the NHS or anywhere else in UK

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve.news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @charlienotold.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting. Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one. My column on the politicians, journalists and junktanks using the Iran crisis as an excuse to extract our remaining gas and oil. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran. Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it. When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war? www.forbes.com/sites/peters...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Good people like these in Plymouth are showing up across England & Wales in opposition to David Lammy’s attack on juries. They have one simple message to MPs ahead of a vote on the Courts & Tribunals Bill today: Defend Our Juries defendourjuries.net

Israel is using white phosphorus AGAIN in Lebanon - the chemical weapon ignites instantly upon contact with oxygen, and sticks to skin

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.

‘A sobering preview’: extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, study finds - “Hundreds of millions of people can no longer safely go about their daily lives outside during hottest parts of the year” says @lukeaparsons.bsky.social #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Cancer. That will be the legacy. For millions of Iranians.

So Tony Blair thinks we should slavishly back US wars, legal or not. There’s a surprise. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm out of words here

Now imagine people’s lungs. Black rain has fallen over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities, coating streets and rooftops in dark, oily water. “The rain is actually apparently saturated with oil,” CNN reports.

I spent 22 years of my life as a consultant in marine sustainability and maritime policy. Much of what I did involved the oil industry, oil pollution and the toxic threat it posed to humans and wildlife. This shit is liquid cancer. It will impact the development of foetuses. It will kill.

Daybreak brings only more night in Tehran. A city blackened by burning oil. Hospitals, schools, aid centres, freshwater desalination plants and now fuel storage depots. These are all the sites you would target if your wish was to perpetuate a genocide. (📸 Al Jazeera)

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning. A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned. (🎥 CNN)

Tehran was already on the brink of running out of water. Now, even the rain is contaminated.

9/ A sanity check, forget the lag model entirely. The annual mean took 30 years to go from 0.5°C to 1.0°C, and 14 years to go from 1.0°C to 1.5°C. If the next 0.5°C takes the same 14 years, we reach 2.0°C around 2038. Not 2050. Are we prepared for that?

“The transition to renewables is often framed as a climate goal. But in a region where stability is fragile, it is also a security imperative.” #RenewableEnergy #JustTransition

The US has 100s of intelligence personnel in our country but UK governments put a blanket ban on information about what they’re doing. Governments privilege US military secrecy over our right to know. Why is there not more consternation about this? www.declassifieduk.org/we-deserve-t...

What could possibly explain the intensity of Western interest, over the past century and more, in this region?

"I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he's a tough cookie, got a lot of great charm, and a lot of pride. But the way he loves his country, you know? He loves his country. He's acting a little differently now." DONALD TRUMP 2022
