Shocking….but not unexpected. “We have the permit to put equipment on land,” company Rep said. “then we’ve filed our permits, pending approval, to drill” But Greenland’s resources ministry said there were “no active permissions for any exploration activity or permissions for preparations for these”

Since Brexit, UK’s regulation of Pfas fallen behind EU’s, which plans for ban on all #Pfas. UK is looking to restrict only certain chemicals ie “whack a mole”. Because when you ban 1, industry can simply tweak it to produce new variant that pose identical or even worse health risks. #Pollution

The ocean covers 71% of planet. For decades, this vast surface absorbed >90% of excess heat trapped by human-made greenhouse gases, shielding us from more intense warming on land. Now it’s is breaking heat records, & a strengthening El Niño is forming over exceptionally warm seas

With UK now regularly experiencing temperatures far beyond historical norms, these sad deaths show the importance of heat adaptation to protect us during future #heatwaves, & underline necessity of reaching net zero emissions globally, @DonaldTrump @KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage

You know what’s strange? I’m still getting #climate deniers on my feed….

Couldn’t have said it better …. #ClimateDenial

It’s so depressing… When will we act? #GlobalHeating

Gosh, this administration really doesn’t care about its people? #AirPollutionKills

No words So so sad ☹️

Is @BBC finally getting it? No question mark this time. Ok, it was at very, very end of a long article… still…. “#ClimateChange is driving up temperatures around the world, causing increased summer heatwaves & more intense wildfires.”

What country has better healthcare again? Life expectancy 🇨🇦: 83.42 🇬🇧: 82.21 🇺🇸: 79.54 Infant deaths per 1,000 live births 🇬🇧: 3.08 🇨🇦: 3.64 🇺🇸: 5.07 Yearly deaths due to lack of insurance 🇨🇦: 0 🇬🇧: 0 🇺🇸: 68,000 Bankruptcies from medical debt 🇨🇦: 0 🇬🇧: 0 🇺🇸: 530,000 a year

Interesting comment. “I wonder if we, the USA, will be like Cuba. We’re going to have our ancient, oil-based cars driving around the streets, while the rest of the world is zipping around in EVs.” “I think it’s a real possibility. It’s not a possibility that I think is a good one.”

Good news! (If people stick to it) This will strengthen protection of marine #biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction ie 2/3 of world’s oceans. It establishes a legal mechanism to create marine protected areas, helping to conserve vulnerable habitats & species.

This article is full of errors, @BBC It’s POVERTY that’s the problem. The better off are doing fine, thank you very much. I’ve no idea why you would write such an article? Is using FACTS too difficult. What’s the motive? Is BBC Board trying to push for #NHS privatisation?

We’re getting there folks. Just need a little help from the media & Govt to spread the word WHY we need this #ClimateCrisis

About time. Those who live here should have the biggest say..

How long? How long before we ALL demand action? This is just the start in a warming world. How did we get here? Greedy #fossilfuel companies WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. The media, OWNED BY THOSE WITH MONEY INTERESTS IN SAME.

NOTE: The #ClimateCrisis isn’t waiting for politicians to catch up. The papers today…..

Why did people fail to listen? Not one person can say they weren’t warned. Media with their failure to report, big oil with their greed are responsible. But those who spread misinformation on these platforms must share some of the blame #ClimateCrisis

Please @BBC this is pure misinformation. The gas once produced enters the global gas market. The companies that own the gas sell it at market prices. UK suppliers then buy gas from that market, just as they buy Norwegian gas or from Qatar or the US It will cause no shortages It will not be cheaper

Govt promised that an £8.2bn AI #datacentre complex in Lanarkshire – built by US firm CoreWeave/Scottish company DataVita – would be powered entirely from on-site renewables. But documents obtained through freedom of information requests & public records show it has no prospect of meeting that goal.

#DataCentres devour more electricity globally than all but 10 countries. About 448 terawatt hours last year if you’re interested. The AI boom means that amount is on track to roughly double within four years. Legislate energy control now. #Renewables or no build.

#MarineHeatwaves can have significant impacts on ecosystems & wildlife eg on seagrass & kelp. We must act NOW

A LABOUR energy minister has refused to say if his Scottish counterparts were consulted before the UK Government published a report on building new nuclear power stations north of the Border. 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2625957...

Can you sign this petition? Greenpeace- “Life-threatening heatwaves in UK causing chaos & claiming lives. Our homes, schools, workplaces aren’t built for this, but govt is underprepared. We’re demanding an urgent extreme heat strategy - funded by taxing fossil fuel giants cooking our planet”

#MarineHeatwaves can have significant impacts on ecosystems & wildlife ie adverse shifts in fish populations, damage to important habitats eg seagrass & kelp, increase in harmful algal blooms. These can result in mass-mortality events for many marine species We must act NOW

“Everybody wants to be green, nobody wants to pay for it,” CEO of one of largest listed shipping companies. Despite 176 countries of the International Maritime Organisation agreeing to cut shipping emissions to “net zero” by 2050, proposal fell apart due to aggressive blocking tactics led by US.

“Far from being “secure”, new #nuclear will build in greater insecurity & costs. If England, which has long lagged far behind Scotland in renewables, wishes to take those risks that’s a matter for its own electorate. No amount of scaremongering or false promises should persuade our govt otherwise”

Wake up.. When seas warm, sea food dies, fish die, we die. Scientists don’t use phrases like ‘uncharted territory’ lightly. When they do, we should probably pay attention. Oceans feed billions, regulate climate & absorb heat. They can’t keep buffering our emissions indefinitely. #DisasterInWaiting

come on @metpolice.bsky.social Investigate….

History will look back and ask…. How did we read these headlines on the same day …. and still not act fast enough? #Climate

Sponsored by Big Oil. Cancelled by extreme heat. You couldn’t script the irony. #FREEDOM250

With 2500 extra heat deaths in France alone, @BBC is trying hard to undo its years of ‘maybe’, ‘could it be?’ And ‘some say’. About time. Let’s have more of the truth about #climate, more often. We will only see action if people demand it They’ll only demand it if they know

At last, @BBC Only many years too late for prevention Thanks to our media’s refusal to publicise the truth, we are left with only adaptation & mitigation in a warming world. It’ll get worse Action now is crucial.

Shocking when this was all preventable Shocking that there are STILL calls to ‘drill, baby, drill”. Shocking that even more deaths will happen due to #AirPollution from wildfires in the south. #ClimateCrisis

And it’s just the start…. It is really last chance saloon for acting… #ClimateCrisis

“The government should now ban all pesticides of this kind” and give farmers the “urgent support they need to move away from these chemicals and towards nature-friendly farming methods”. We know about these breaches thanks to @ClientEarth #Pollution

It’s a shame when the solution is so easy…#EVs The research also found that the US has more new pediatric asthma cases attributable to vehicle pollution annually than any other country #AirPollution

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

Baby birds pulled from the nest & slaughtered… for fun. No one needs these birds to eat. Stop this barbaric hunt now. Sign the petition as @NatureScot considering this year’s application. #StopGuga petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

I just signed up to support the Local Electricity Bill - will you please do the same? If made law, the Bill would empower community energy groups to start up and sell their clean electricity directly to local people. @Power4PeopleUK powerforpeople.org.uk/sign-up/

The top headline tells us what’s happening. The others tell us US pressure is ‘trumping’ climate efforts. And driving humanity’s route to thirst, hunger & heat. #ClimateCrisis

‘Drill, baby, drill’ doesn’t sound so good now, eh? Global warming, driven by burning of fossil fuels, is making #wildfires worse. Fire season is getting longer & fires are growing more intense, frequent & larger, according to NASA Right now, much of the Western United States is primed to burn

Yet shareholder dividends were given…to extent that most are in debt. Water mains replaced at an annual rate of 0.14% between 2020 & 2024, which, if maintained, would mean the entire network would only be replaced once every 700 years, (Ps they mean England & Wales)

Maybe it should be the other way around? One criminal versus the many tried and found guilty at Westminster?

To my doctor pals, I thought you might enjoy hearing about our new colleague….. I asked google today to give me dosages used in HOPE trial (steroids for OA). Didn’t notice in AI mode. I got a screed of warnings about side effects of steroids, & what tests my doctor should do, & I replied as below….

I’d just like to point to our 3 papers (next thread) showing that a legal annual average DOES NOT PREVENT ill-health from #AirPollution. The LEZs prevent the DAILY excesses that harm. Harm that is permanent in children. @theheraldscotland.bsky.social hasn’t put this on Bluesky.. thinks it fits on X

“The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records and private schedules from around the time of the Jan 6 2021 insurrection as part of the US president’s defamation lawsuit against the corporation.” @telegraph.co.uk
