"Only what gets measured gets managed"...

It's #WorldVentil8Day and the Austrian Health Initiative www.igoe.at is conducting a community air quality measurement campaign. Post your measurements on social media or enter them into a CO2 atlas: indoorco2map.com. TL;DR results show both good & very poor ventilation in Austrian indoor spaces...

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

The longer Reform dictate Labour's policies, the more true Labour supporters will be voting #Green ...

My comment? I'm proud of Green councillors who are doing everything they can to bring attention to stopping the genocide. www.thejc.com/news/uk/hack...

UK grid companies made £4bn in windfall profits since 2021 from being able to borrow more cheaply than regulators assumed A committee of MPs say those gains should be recouped to support households struggling to pay energy bills www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The #climate and #nature crisis is developing fast and MPs have not yet been briefed on threats, and possible urgent actions to protect citizens. Please use your postcode to see if your MP is attending the National Emergency Briefing. www.nebriefing.org #TimeToStepUp #NEB

Ich hätte es gut gefunden, wenn im ÖPNV u in medizinischen Einrichtung Maske Standart geblieben wäre. Es frustriert mich, dass letztlich die Schwurbler gewonnen haben u 2025 die wenigsten noch etwas über Covid wissen. Inzidenz, R Wert... keine Ahnung.

Wir hätten Covid zum Anlass nehmen können, zu normalisieren, mit Atemwegsinfekten zuhause zu bleiben oder zumindest durch Masketragen Risiken für andere zu reduzieren. Stattdessen: Jedes öffentliche Verkehrsmittel voller hustender Leute ohne Maske. Erhalte gerade täglich Krankmeldungen, no surprise.

Massachusetts Millionaires Tax continues to deliver... new reporting shows that the 4% surtax on annual income over $1 million (passed by voters in 2022) generated $2.4 billion this fiscal year! The money is earmarked to improve public education and transport. www.fairshareusa.org/massachusett...

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza. It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Nero fiddles while Rome burns... The US Energy Department has added “climate change,” “green” and “decarbonization” to its growing “list of words to avoid” at its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy... www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Injustice thrives in silence. I have made it my job to make sure Labour's involvement in the ongoing genocide cannot be forgotten. And I thank this man who today stood up and made sure his voice filled the silence inside that conference hall.

Let's see how the UK government attempts to wiggle its way out of this one... news.sky.com/story/govern...

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Thrilled to announce that Prof. Christina Hopfe and I were awarded the #ArsDocendi2025 Anerkenungspreis for teaching excellence for our module "Low Carbon Buildings and Communities" Technische Universität Graz at the awards ceremony in Vienna yesterday.

💥 NEW: Colorado is the 1st state to mandate air quality warnings on gas stoves. 🧪 Lots of good science backs this law. Gas stoves emit many air pollutants, including benzene, linked to heart disease, asthma, and leukemia. Burning fossil fuels inside your house is dumb. www.cpr.org/2025/08/07/h...

"By underwriting and purchasing Israeli “war bonds”, banks & asset managers therefore risk providing direct material support to, & therefore aiding & abetting, Israel’s genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes & may risk repercussions for complicity." www.banktrack.org/news/seven_u...

Over 100,000 Australians marched across the symbolic heart of Sydney today, and together we showed more leadership on one rainy afternoon than our PM and Foreign Minister have shown in 2 years from the comfort of their offices. Free Palestine. Sanction Israel. 🇵🇸 🕊️

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

Motherfucking wind farms…

Data from thousands of people show that infection with SARS-CoV-2 is linked with a nearly twofold increase in cancer-related death... “Respiratory-virus infections didn’t just awaken the cells,” the study author says: they caused them to proliferate, “to enormous numbers” shorturl.at/2quDV

In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations in Britain came from just 19 people. Cap political donations. Now 31,000 people have signed 38 Degrees’ petition!! Do add your name and share widely. Thanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

In light of Israel starving the population of Gaza Dr Amir Khan explains what happens when a human being starves "Right now children in Gaza are feeling this right now. This is not a natural death, it's a man made one. And it's preventable. Let aid in"

This

The right to peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy... the UK has turned a very worrying corner.

Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.

David Lammy must realise that we’re past the point of threatening sanctions. Every day the Government sits on its hands, more innocent civilians are being killed in Gaza while over a million are at risk of starvation. Sanctions are needed now, including against Netanyahu.

Sehr hörenswerte Folge über die kürzlich veröffentlichte Studie zur Luftqualität in Klassenzimmern (TU Graz):

Late 2 the party, but: brilliant talk about ImpAQS (www.tugraz.at/institute/ib...), the large study about air quality at austrian schools: www.airqualitymatters.net/podcast/a-ve..., with @robscot.bsky.social

Absolutely horrific. We are watching ethnic cleansing and genocide happening in broad daylight, in real time. Our govt has a duty to prevent genocide - and yet is still selling arms to Israel. The UK's complicity must end.

Yes and ask the family and friends who pressure you to stop taking precautions if they will help you by...doing almost everything for you when you're sick with Long COVID. Will they cook/make your meals, do your laundry, bring you to all the doctor appointments to treat LC?

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.
