Legitimising lunatics is always dangerous. This organisation taught that neonatal resuscitation can be “sabotage”, questioned whether bacteria cause infection and dismissed deadly pregnancy complications as “variations of normal”, questioned the existence of gravity and whether the Earth is round.

41C in the UK? In 2015 the IPCC warned world leaders not to breach 1.5C as it would unleash “frequent & severe droughts, heatwaves & rainfall.” We’re now on track for 2C in years, 3C in decades & 4C in our children’s lifetimes. The most spectacular failure of leadership in history.

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

To be clear: in the United States, heat kills more people than cold, and it's not even close. www.weather.gov/hazstat

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

WTF is wrong with UK media? Farage claims he wasn’t in politics prior to receipt of the £5m. He was majority shareholder (53%) of Reform. May 2023–April 2024. Farage served as the party's Honorary President. How can you be an Honorary President of a political party and not be involved?

With more than 1/3 of seats, the Welsh Senedd is now the biggest political platform Reform has ever had. And it’s a complete farce.

There is no democracy without accessible, factual information and our information landscape is being hopelessly distorted by overseas billionaires with rich men’s agendas. Please sign this petition and let’s try to give voters the tools they need to make good decisions.

One last push of the petition for today! I was hoping to increase signatures by 10% today. So far we are up 9.1% on what we were when I first posted this morning - or 247 more signatures. Can we get another 25 or so this evening to top the target?

As @extremetemps.bsky.social has documented, all time-record high temps in northwest Siberia past couple of days. Beliy Island (73.3ºN) hit 28.3C (83F), apparently the highest temp so far north anywhere in the world. But this heatwave is distinct from the European heatwave. #Arctic #ExtremeWeather

Zaporizhzhia contains a massive nuclear reactor. Much bigger than Chernobyl. Putin has been storing munitions in it.

Dueling Heatwaves ‼️ Europe vs USA in a match no one wants! It’s #Europe’s most severe #heatwave in history w/ Germany to 109 this weekend VS the USA where next week swelters w/ feels like up to 115°! This is boosted by the strong El Niño, steroids on top of the heating climate!

"I should just point out that this is the eighth time we have invited unelected gobshite Zia Yusuf onto Question Time."

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

Mentally, one of the most difficult things about modern life is watching the planet burn, understanding why it's burning but having swathes of people with the analytical powers of a tree frog influenced by Big Petro to genuinely believe it's a hoax

How many financia incidents does Farage get away with be4, there's blue tents, 20+police, constants news coverage. 5M donation and he bought a house, now suggestion of 1.8M EU money used in brexit campaign 🙄. The hypocrisy in WM is off the scale.

I think we just passed oops.

He spent years bemoaning “unelected bureaucrats” and yet that’s exactly his plan fo government if he becomes PM! He’s nothing but a hypocritical, grifting shit with no principles whatsoever.

It’s not about “belief”, it’s about observable data, carefully recorded over many decades. And some very basic science.

Breaching what was once considered the most heavily defended airspace in the world, a Ukrainian drone flew through downtown Moscow in broad daylight.

Climate change will fundamentally change the world.There will be food and water shortages,extreme weather events will be more frequent and more severe,flooding /wildfires will increase,infrastructure will fail,new diseases will appear in new places.It's not about installing bloody air conditioning!

That’s us. All of us, on that pale blue dot suspended in space. There’s nothing else, nowhere else to go. So why are we letting our home, our life support system, be destroyed by corporations who only care about money? Even though they have nowhere else to go either.

May the fossil fuel lobbyists forever fuck themselves.

BBC News weather presenter Ben Rich on the heatwave affecting the UK and Europe, "It would have been impossible, even just fifty years ago, without the effects of climate change"

More on the Secret War between Russia and the UK/EU that I’ve written about: Russian hackers were behind a cyberattack last year that crippled Jaguar Land Rover that cost billions in damages and harmed the British economy, investigators have concluded.

Beluga Whale Escapes Research Facility And Swims Hundreds Of Miles Back To Her Baby. It is wrong and immoral to hold beings of self awareness captive if they have committed no crimes.

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

The jet stream (high up air current) kept our weather patterns fairly stable and reliable but, since the 70s, due to the effects of global heating on the Arctic/Antarctic, the northern jet stream moves northward at about 2 km per year, allowing hot air to travel further north and get “stuck” there.

Emperor penguin chicks are drowning in huge numbers because the sea ice they live on is disappearing. The melting ice collapses from under them, tipping them into the sea where their baby fluff becomes waterlogged. Tell them climate change isn’t real.

Earth’s atmosphere has officially crossed 430 ppm of CO₂ — a level scientists say humanity has never experienced before in recorded history. Researchers warn the planet may now be entering climate conditions not seen for millions of years, with rising temperatures, stronger heatwaves, melting ice.

In case anyone’s interested…

Imagine, you’ve just used taxpayers’ millions to carry out work on a national monument, then you insist on driving a motorcade over it, for a photo. “Stupid” doesn’t cover it.

Harborne, who bunged Farage £5m, deals in crypto and … jet fuel. The destruction of our home planet can be bought.

Reuters is reporting that the Moscow Refinery has been forced to halt all operations and will not be operational again until 2027. This is a huge loss for Russia.

Marina Purkiss, "Nigel Farage said 'up the Ra' for £86, What do you think he's willing to do for £5,000,000?

In a world now largely owned and run by the stupid, there are still some intelligent and creative people quietly trying to undo the damage.

This is going to be a bit tricky because he's "in exile" in Russia

Nigel Farage's tip for Brits stuck in post-Brexit airport queues? 'Just go by dinghy, it's much easier!' So here’s a reminder of how his Brexit led to the small boats crisis. If UK news shows won’t call his bull**** out let’s do it ourselves youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

Galloway lives in Russia and has done since last year. Feel this has rather gone under the radar.

The Just Stop Oil protestors, currently serving 4-5 year sentences for protesting the continuing burning of fossil fuels, (and disturbingly inadequate government policy re the same) are saying "We told you so."

Fuck fossil fuel executives
