BREAKING: President Emmanuel Macron tells the UN General Assembly, “Today, I declare that we recognise the State of Palestine,” calling for peace and to “preserve the possibility of a two-state solution.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/f50v9t

Today's announcement by Colombia to host an international conference on phasing out fossil fuels could not be more timely. Following the #ICJAO, it's clear that international cooperation to transition away from fossil fuels is necessary. fossilfueltreaty.org/phase-out-co...

A million civilians are fleeing for their lives from the violent devastating Israeli invasion of Gaza. Not a peep from our leaders, not even ‘urgings from afar’. After the UN determines this a genicide, our leaders shrug and say nothing 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🤬🇮🇱

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.

They’re talking about bigotry, right?

Je rappelle quand même que dans ce merveilleux pays qu’est la France, il existe une large consensus dans la classe politique, y compris à gauche, pour affirmer que l’islamophobie n’existe pas. www.lemonde.fr/societe/arti...

Gov’t can’t have it both ways: Either it supports people or it supports oil companies. Those are mutually exclusive categories. Great explainer by @dharna.bsky.social in @us.theguardian.com on @oilchange.bsky.social’s report on fossil fuel subsidies. #climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Shady Khalil @oilchange.bsky.social‬ at UN #JustTransition +Energy Dialogue in Addis: “At COP28 we set the direction. Now the task is to make the transition just & equitable - with tech transfer, grant-based finance, debt cancellation & real energy access. COP30 must deliver.”

U.S. and global politics surrounding Israel are shifting rapidly as the world recoils in horror at Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Here are several lessons the left should take note of. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/isra...

Europe is selling its soul to Trump. What ostensibly "pragmatic" leaders are getting terribly wrong. on.ft.com/4lQ9BpT

Excessive heat in homes, offices and public buildings has prompted a debate in France this summer about the excessive use of glass in building design, which is being increasingly seen as impractical as global warming drives up summer temperatures. My story: www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

“Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Pierre Poilievre — none of these men became household names on merit, they simply cried the loudest. The entire conservative movement is composed of insufferable cry babies aided and abetted by spineless corporate media.” @taylornoakes.com

A neat demonstration of: - Blatantly motivated forecast - Decision to act as if unavoidable - Consequent realisation of the forecast pattern that has been operational in the fossil fuel world for ages. The prophecy is there to fulfil itself, not to inform or explore possibilities archive.ph/qeIDS

Anas has social media in Gaza that predates the war, is #83 on the Gaza Vetters list docs.google.com/spreadsheets... and his older brother is @osamabasilps1.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before. Anas and his family are living in tents and trying to survive but they are focused on their future ❤️

Occupation intégrale de Gaza et enfermement de centaines de milliers de Gazaouis dans des camps avant leur expulsion : Israël avance encore davantage dans la réalisation du fantasme ultime de toute colonie de peuplement : faire disparaître physiquement les colonisés. orientxxi.info/magazine/les...

"Une ONG israélienne évacue des ânes de Gaza vers la France, par "respect de la vie"." J'ai relu trois fois.

I don’t even know how to process this: “A vast majority of Israeli Jews – 79 percent – say they are ‘not so troubled’ or ‘not troubled at all’ by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza…” www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

For the Brussels bubble, 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's surrender to Trump yesterday was infuriating but not surprising. If you'd like to know more about VDL's backstory which made it unlikely that she would stand up for Europe, here's my piece from January:

von der Leyen frames $750 billion commitment to buy *more* US LNG as “more affordable energy from the US” vs getting gas from Russia. Reminder: European governments paid over $1000 Billion to fossil fuel companies since Ukraine war @picharbonnier.bsky.social adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

President von der Leyen is trying to sell yesterday’s surrender as the “biggest trade deal ever”. But this is not a free trade deal. It is a package of concessions that were extorted from Europe by Trump’s threats. My take: davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-has...

Mohamed Adow, founder of Kenya-based think-tank Power Shift Africa, described the IEA’s report as a stark reflection of “a deep political failure – promises made, but barely delivered”.

It's going to be an ongoing propaganda victory for Australia that these articles keep getting pumped out with zero context or even a slight mention of the fact that Australia disproportionately contributes to why they're being forced to relocate Like Israel's 'humanitarian aid drops'....

When Francesca Albanese exposed the “economy of genocide” ‘In 20mnths Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 stock exchange has grown by 213%’ ‘An increase of $220bn’ ‘For many companies, genocide=profit’ Profiteering from the murder of 20,000 plus 🇵🇸 children The truth is disgusting

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1lL4K_6se4...

Les arguties des soutiens d'Israël visant à nier la guerre génocidaire avec famine organisée à Gaza sont exactement du même ordre que celles des négationnistes de la Shoah. Qu'importent les faits, le crime n'a pas lieu car il ne peut avoir lieu. La "preuve non-ontologique", disait Vidal-Naquet.

Many things to say about France’s decision to recognize the Palestinian state, including how late it came, but it was absolutely the right thing to do, as demonstrated by this reaction 👇🏼

90% de la bande de Gaza est maintenant zone militaire israélienne. Deux millions de personnes ont été concentrées dans un enclos de 36 km2. La densité y est supérieure à 60 000 personnes par kilomètre carré, trois fois plus qu'à Paris, sans toits, ni sanitaires, ni soins, ni eau, ni nourriture.

“We are like detectives, chasing the smell of flour,” he said, as the whine of an Israeli drone nearly drowned out his voice. “And even if we find it, we have to be millionaires to buy a single kilo.” on.ft.com/40CG6At

I normally post on climate science, which is my expertise. But this is too important to look away, so I want to share this from the Washington Post. Please read. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

In light of the ICJ ruling this week, new analysis shows that nearly a fifth of Australia's emissions come from the production and extraction of fossil fuels for exports #OffTheCharts @pollyjhemming.bsky.social australiainstitute.org.au/post/nearly-...

Australia does not need to be expanding its fossil gas production, least of all to run fossil gas power stations. Read Ketan’s report on our website: australiainstitute.org.au/post/austral...

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.
