Ponsonby Tarn, tested around 1986, revealed accumulative radionuclides, a large proportion of which, surprisingly, not of Chernobyl origin.

The jet fuel shortage possibility opens up so many neurons in my brain today. It's like we're living The Ministry of the Future book, but the US is the "mysterious collective"

I've been suspicious of hope since I read Derrick Jensen's piece about it a bit back

Fuck Palantir

Apparently it was rain that caused the increased radioactivity from the Chernobyl fallout in the western UK. Sellafield managed to 'leak' (read: dump) thousands of gallons of radioactive material into the Irish Sea that year too. www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/d...

Well. I had the wrong lens so I couldn’t get the whole top of the May Apple leaf in the frame. But I decided I quite like this view #NativePlants 🌿

Brilliant piece by Jonathan Cook, highlighting not only the conniving plots of today's Labour Party, but the collusion of a credulous press. Why does no-one in power ever seem to do their job properly? jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-real-s...

Monbiot resting from his usual crazed vegan position to point out why the people with all the power aren't paying attention to the things that are going to ruin them (and us), with the AMOC as the focus

It isn't as simple as saying no to AI, because people just aren't the market these sociopaths are aiming for.

Meanwhile, methane turbines set up by Musk to power the plant emit: - cancer-causing formaldehyde - nitrogen oxides linked to heart + breathing conditions + increased hospital admissions People's water stolen, air choked, to feed the ravenous appetite of AI: share.google/JeHWTbHB2PcK...

Just start writing. You can't edit nothing.

My "preferences" are for Google and every other surveillance and ad company to fuck off and leave my data alone. 🤬 www.forbes.com/sites/zakdof...

Full offense: this article is superficial, almost intentionally dense, and a waste of your time to read. The author makes a huge argument for nostalgia, but it's not about nostalgia: it's about ownership, personal control, and freedom from surveillance and data gathering.

Are Drax admitting that CCUS is pie in the sky?

Just a reminder that climate innovation has to come from the heart

I do find it hard not to rant about how much I despise plastics.

Mining also releases substances that would have otherwise remained locked into the ground. How can you live in a place as amazing as NZ and believe that a mine is the answer to anything?

The NHS interacts with more than 1.5 patients a day. Without access to their drug allergies, care plans, prescribing regimes etc they are at risk, many of death. If we lose access to those servers we are in big trouble.

Naiv havde jeg troet at brug af atomvåben ikke var en noget vi gjorde. Og mod en civil iransk befolkning! Er der nogen som kan hjælpe mig med kontekst? Hvem er den lobby? USA? Israel? Hvad er UN’s rolle? Hvem er Mohammed Safa? Og hvorfor er der ingen større reaktion på hvad han fortæller?

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

Dr Chris definitely doesn't get my approval, using fossil-fuel-and-water-guzzling ChatGPT to cure his myth believers.

Typical, really. Everyone ignores me while I'm dashing about, tidying, but the minute I start exorcising unpleasant esoteric ych from the house, they all walk in to "tell me something"

What a shock

Hypocrites. "Scan me for my sustainability story", while encasing my individualised ass in a plastic foil lined teabag case. Well done, Twinings.

Jesus Christ I mean even I'VE been contingency planning for the past 3 weeks. WTH took them? Where do these people even come from.

I can't see where The Guardian say that Israel tear-gassed people trying to pray.

I don't understand how anyone in politics could ever trust the Americans. aje.news/qapa08?updat...

They still dont know what theyre going to do with the waste, no matter how cute they make the "mini" nuclear reactor sound.

So, we're still getting the PFAS to drink. It just takes us longer to get the same amounts

CCUS is just the kind of magical thinking rational people are not supposed to participate in. For 40 years industry has failed to capture its stated aim of 90% carbon emissions. Maybe its time to stop producing plastics that have to be disposed of through burning (and land fill and)

As if by magic ...

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Just a thought, but maybe we need to give some attention to growing food without high fossil fuel usage? aje.news/2s21hi?updat...

This problem really pisses me off. Eating from the supermarket feels necessary for a lot of people. It's a bit cheaper. It's less time consuming than sourcing food around the country. Than attempting to garden in our short growing season. But we, as consumers, need to also consider our food choices.

The police and MPs have unwittingly activated the Quakers. Quakerism was built with peaceful protest as one of its foundations. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Yanar Mohammed is one of Iraq’s most prominent women’s rights activists and established the country’s first shelters for survivors of domestic violence and trafficking. She was assassinated outside her Baghdad home when two gunmen on motorcycles opened fire in the morning.

The day I discovered there were Longhorn bees was a memorable one for me! This guy was visiting a blooming tithonia in our yard. Those antennae!! #invertes #nativebees

I'll give you one guess

So, the Labour government is still trashing environmental protections, even as it takes part in trashing the Middle East with its dubious pals the US and Israel. Why is it they seem to think nuclear is a get-out-of-environmental-protections-free card?

Same. It's all kind of overwhelming at the moment, but if tiny birds can carry on then so can we. #birds

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them. I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran. So here goes nothing. 🧵

I'll second that a little, although I'm glued to the terrible news. Here, have a picture of some weird and amazing orange Witches Butter fungus we found in our local woods. It feels like clammy skin!

What a guy

The Guardian failing to mention that Iran is apparently attacking US military bases in these countries
