Does Trump like horses? Or anything, apart from power and opulence?

A long hot summer might refocus some of these people.

Palantir is so entangled in UK defence planning it’s now calling the shots on weapons purchases.

Just to be clear: the light pink bars are the **deficit**

Not good news if Alberta secedes, they will turn to Trump’s US for support.

In October, the oil-rich Canadian province of Alberta will hold an independence referendum. On @theworld.org, Marco Werman & I ask who are the leaders of the separatist movement, & what are their stated aims? Full piece here 👇🏽 share.google/HxaHAV16Vk4z...

will the Met Office be able to continue its research and communication on Climate Change under a Reform government? It has no statutory basis, its leadership is appointed by Sec of State and its priorities are set together with DSIT

🧵AP: US financial regulator aims to kill climate disclosure rule. This is something I feel qualified to talk about, as climate disclosures in finance were the subject of my MSc dissertation at Oxford. >

I am not sure how much publicity the various threats to the CO2 monitoring station at Mauna Loa received but fortunately for climate understanding this vital research station has survived both lava flows and proposed Trump cuts www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

Trump appears to have got himself and his family excluded permanently from any sort of tax investigation - why are the Americans not going nuts over this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Accurate reporting is important, but it is absolutely not enough Industries must not be allowed to operate by dumping the environmental and social cost onto the rest of society for their own profit

May I interest you in some “biological soil crusts"?

"Of the approximately US$540 billion (£400 billion) annual subsidies to agriculture, the largest recipients are beef and milk producers. Many subsidies provide support to buy pesticides and fertilisers. Imagine if such funds were redirected to food production for human need and planetary health?"

When people magnify the environmental impacts of renewables, the implication is that they must somehow be worse than the existing energy system In reality the existing energy system is not just more destructive than renewables - it's more destructive than anyone even realises

@guyshrubsole.bsky.social "..said there needed to be an upping of ambition for rainforest restoration..." @tonydartmoor.bsky.social: “The woodland has been waiting for a long time for us to just back off a little bit, reduce the grazing pressure and allow these amazing forests to come back to life."

This heat is not normal. It will break multiple records. This heat is fuelled by manmade climate change. In the UK not one of our adaption pathways are adequate. Our changing climate needs to be treated as a national security issue. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Yet again, another record-breaking heatwave is arriving well outside of the typical season. This time impacting the UK and other parts of western Europe with a strong ridge. 🥵 Here's how climate change is making that heat more likely via @climatecentral.org at csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

among the many mind-stretching facts and concepts in this essay: the idea of a century-plus of oil and gas extraction as a slow-motion volcano, "a shift of carbon from the lithosphere to the atmosphere far outpacing the largest super-eruptions in Earth’s history."

OPINION: "In most states, the responsibility for drawing districts rests with the state legislature. Thus, the party that controls state legislatures very often controls elections—at both the state and congressional level," Clarie B. Wofford and Jordan Ragusa write.

High levels of PFAS - linked to cancers, liver, kidney + thyroid disorders - found in the sea in the Solent strait. The main source is thought to be treated sewage. They're present in sewage because we're surrounded by them in our daily lives. share.google/yLF9gGRNyKok... 🧵 1/6

HFCs are a major source of TFA pollution. In Germany, TFA is classed as 'reprotoxic' - could damage fertility + child development. Scientist @hanspeterarp.bsky.social told us “It’s accumulating in our tap water, the food we’re eating, plants, trees, the sea". share.google/CL4NPO2dAele...

Sadiq is right that more than one supplier should have been considered; their involvement with ICE is concerning. France is apparently working to disentangle itself from US tech, eg Microsoft.

Their investigation uncovered mountains of fashion waste including garments from British brands Next, M&S, and Asda’s George choking protected Ghanaian wetlands. These vital habitats are home to both local fishing communities and endangered sea turtles.

Soil Association, Nature Friendly Farming Network, Greenpeace, the Wildlife Trusts and others call for end to UK use of glyphosate weedkiller being sprayed on crops just before harvest A better trade deal with Europe on food could force that to become reality www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I just signed the Greenpeace petition calling on the government to power the UK with homegrown renewables. Every conflict abroad sends our energy bills soaring at home. The only way out is cheaper, safer renewable energy. Join me in demanding an end to the fossil fuel cost chaos? act.gp/4sv5VOP

GB News is trying to gut the BBC. Their radical plan would force shows like Strictly and The Traitors to be axed or hidden behind a Netflix-style paywall. Sign the petition to say NO to a BBC subscription model:

“If you get a reduction in crop yields because of drought or flooding [from El Niño] then that drives prices even higher. So we're looking at potentially quite huge humanitarian impacts this year, especially if the crisis in the Middle East continues”. #HugeHumanitarianImpacts #StopRosebank

Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets — not even the long-term goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 — thanks to “the removal or weakening of climate policies” over the last year, according to a February report by the Canadian Climate Institute.

After the Coutts affair, Farage nearly doubled his shareholdings in GB News parent company 1. No other presenter has such a stake 2. No political leader in the UK (I know of) owns so many shares in a media company 3. No Ofcom regulated media company supports just one political party

Datacentres using 6% of electricity supply in UK and US, research says

These things make huge amount of CO2 emissions for something we have done perfectly well without.

BREAKING - Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will launch an investigation into Farage's £5m donation.

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊

Ofcom is investigating GB News for its outrageous Trump interview. Ofcom must enforce its own rules and hold them to account! Add your name to the open letter now.

New Zealand is moving to shield companies from being taken to court for climate harms. The push to immunize corporations from climate liability is growing globally. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Fine particulate matter isn’t the only pollutant released during a wildfire. An ‘invisible’ pollutant - ground-level ozone - also gets emitted. And it can be just as hazardous. New by me for @space.com 🌎🧪

Seems bonkers to do this in a location vulnerable to huge wildfires, and how is the water supply holding up?

In the wake of excellent results for the #GreenParty of England and Wales, it's worth considering how far the Party's general appeal extends. Read my new piece for @bylinetimes.bsky.social where I give my take. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/is-there-a...

Given #Palantir’s connection with the distasteful ICE in the US, what would stop UK Palantir from passing to a Reform-controlled Home Office all the details, medical and otherwise, of the 2 million people they say they would round up and deport?
