Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction. We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s. We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third. And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

A 93% spike isn’t a ‘trend’ - it’s a stick-up. Gas is a ransom. Carbon is a conflict mineral. Fossil fuels are war. Renewables are the only real declaration of independence. Stop being vassal states. Move decisively to cut the cord.

One by one, western countries are choosing nationalism over global solidarity www.rfi.fr/en/france/20...

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

"Without us you'd all be speaking German", Donald Trump tells an audience in Davos, in Switzerland. Where the most common language is German.

'Share' if you agree!

One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad is very much worth your time.

Finished reading “Ways We Vanish” and “Ragnarök at the Father-Daughter Dance” by @toddedillard.bsky.social. Stunningly good poem after stunningly good poem. Magical elision between metaphor and reality. Deeply personal but even more deeply relatable. Highly recommend both books.

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Coverage of that report:

The Ides of March (15th March) marks the festival of Anna Perenna, Roman goddess of the cyclical year. In Latin, anna means “to live through a year” and perenna means “to last many years”. These words are the roots of annual and perennial, the terms we use for a plant’s lifespan.

“The Trump administration will treat climate change for what it is... a side-effect of building the modern world. Everything in life involves trade-off.” And your trade-off is being part of an *avoidable* 6th mass extinction, so an oil CEO can buy a 3rd yacht.

The only way to respond to the enforced institutionalized climate denial is to consequently live in climate truth. * * * * * "Living within the truth, as humanity's revolt against an enforced position, is...an attempt to regain control over one's own sense of responsibility." - Vaclav Havel

Rape is rape. Fraud is fraud. Access to guns increases gun crimes. Hate speech leads to violence. Wearing face masks prevents the spread of respiratory-transmitted diseases. Human-caused climate, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation polycris is real. No majority can change it.

Having completed the sale of my family’s last chunk of Suffolk last week I don’t have any skin in this game now, but if you want to encourage small family farming why not break up the agribusiness & IHT estates and sell the land at a discount to the farm managers who are actually doing the farming?

There's been no food to North Gaza in since early October. In 30 days a lot of people will be dead.

Despite policy commitments, the world is not reducing unsustainable pressures on the planet. Time is running out as we approach the halfway point of the decisive decade. Read Johan Rockström & William Ripple's view on the climate crisis & the fierce urgency of now: www.context.news/climate-risk...

We are all, whether we know it or not, in a shared, existence-defining struggle to assert our stewardship of the planet. Pitching this knowledge as “extremist” is directly antithetical to that common goal.

The sky’s the limit for spending public money on roads, CCS, tax-free aviation fuels etc etc. a few pennies for some bike lanes? Sorry, we just don’t have any money 🥺🥺🥺.

Decaf; so shit humans won't even steal it.

Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing...tipping point "Sea levels in the Atlantic would rise by a meter...The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip..pushing the ..rainforest past its own tipping point....changes would hit 10 times faster than now, making adaptation almost impossible."

CNN: ‘We are dying slowly:’ Palestinians are eating grass and drinking polluted water as famine looms across Gaza... ... and the world is watching.💔

THE RISE OF TECHNOAUTHORITARIANISM "It’s past time we call it what it is..We do not have to live in the world the new technocrats are designing for us. We do not have to acquiesce to their growing project of dehumanization..Each of us has agency..Every day we vote with our attention..it is precious"

Sultan Al Jaber's comments in this video are pretty shocking. He is fundamentally in actual, real denial of the need to fully eliminate fossil fuels from society and all the science that confirms it. #COP28 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZk...
