A new scoop from @writesbright.bsky.social for @desmog.com with The Mirror 👇 The £675K pocketed by Farage from foreign governments, companies & donors dwarfs his public salary. For me, this begs the question, Farage is Minister of Parliament for... who exactly? www.desmog.com/2026/04/18/n...

It's a wild wild world... @desmog.com's @joeygrostern.bsky.social invites you into the Sri Lankan network pumping out ai-slop to rage bait Brits on energy and call for more drilling in the North Sea. www.desmog.com/2026/04/17/s... (Infact North Sea oil & gas would displace max 3% of imports)

Which poses the bigger question... did Reform lie about Goodwin's relationship with a state-funded pro-Orbán group?

Influential figures in the UK are using the war-on-Iran induced energy shock to call for (checks notes) *more reliance on oil & gas. Many have close ties to the fossil industry, or to groups that deny basic climate science. @writesbright.bsky.social has more👇 www.desmog.com/2026/04/01/t...

🔴 NEW 🔴 The world’s largest salmon producer Mowi stands accused of a charm offensive in the Scottish Highlands that distracts from its “polluting, smelly and invasive” fish farms, say local residents and fishers, in what used to be “pristine” Highlands lochs. with @desmog.com

COP30 has delivered less than hoped for & less than what is needed. But one light in the darkness is the recognition of the need for ‘information integrity’. The fight for a safe climate has the fight against disinformation at his heart, and now, its rightful place in the treaty text.

1/12 Tony Blair Institute have released a report which is getting a lot of coverage in UK today It says the drive for net zero emissions is flawed and some media outlets have gone to town However it’s a bit odd By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn't be taken seriously 🧵🧵

BBC muzzling one of its best presenters from making an excellent, wholly factual programme because heat pumps are “controversial”. An organisation badly in need of new leadership.

Major scoop from @clarecarlile.bsky.social @desmog.bsky.social !

📊 @dataforgoodfr.bsky.social, @quotaclimat.org and @sciencefeedback.bsky.social have released a new report revealing the alarming extent to which mainstream media, often considered more resilient than social media, is spreading climate misinformation. quotaclimat.org/actualites/d...

This is *incredible* - you absolutely must check out @adambarnett.bsky.social's mapping of Trump's insidious fossil-fueled network.

Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

One of my favourite takeaways from #orfc was Jake Richardson’s line on factory farmed chickens: ‘when a quarter of all food workers do not have enough to eat, more chicken does not equal food security’ …
