They say we can't use a wealth tax to get billionaires to pay their fair share because they'll just leave. But one billionaire just showed it's just a myth that greedy billionaires created to stop us taxing their wealth.

The scary thing about AI is that it gives billionaires like Elon Musk FAR too much influence over our lives.

What Saabira Chaudhuri's book 'Consumed' reveals about Unilever and why it must break its sachet habit. Unilever helped turn the single-use sachet into a dominant packaging format, and that decision continues to fuel plastic pollution on a global scale, via @greenpeace.org #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

Donald Trump’s illegal, oil-driven invasion of Venezuela is an attack on international law, and a shocking reminder of what can happen in a world still addicted to fossil fuels.⁣ ⁣ We need a renewable energy revolution, now. ⁣

Big Oil doesn’t share Trump’s dream of making Venezuelan oil great again www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

🚨 BREAKING: Household energy bills will INCREASE this week, while temperatures could reach -12° in parts of the UK. Why on earth is the government allowing giant gas companies to RIP OFF the British public in the middle of winter? 🧵

We need governments to transition to renewables and rein in Big Oil companies, NOT provoke wars on their behalf. #OilFuelsWar

If you think the environmental impact of AI is bad, wait until you hear about the dairy industry. #TooManyCows

As we edge towards an irreversible point, the climate becomes less of a challenge to manage and adapt to and more a hostile environment in which many will struggle just to live. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: 
 “The Earth will survive this crisis. It is humanity, and countless other living species, that may not.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A few things are guaranteed to make the world a lot less safe. Giving more power to big oil corporations is definitely one of them.

One good thing about solar power is that you know Donald Trump won’t take over your country to get control of it.

Trump push to politicize US military ‘reminiscent of Stalin’, top general warns www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you want a safer, more peaceful world, you don’t invite big oil companies. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

GOOD NEWS: Renewable energy reached a RECORD HIGH in the UK last year, with wind power alone producing nearly 30% of our electricity. MORE OF THIS for 2026 please! 🌍

Why is there always enough money for war but NEVER enough to provide affordable electricity, education and food?

This is HUGE news. China has completed the ratification process for the Global Ocean Treaty, confirming it will be bound by the landmark ocean protection agreement when it officially enters into force on January 17, 2026. #ProtectTheOceans Read more👇

They like to make you feel like it’s your fault with carbon footprint calculators and recycling schemes but that’s because the world's biggest companies alone have caused $28 trillion in climate damage. financialpost.com/pmn/the-worl...

No country has ever been invaded for its renewable energy reserves. The sooner we switch off oil and gas, the better.

The US has a long history of military interventions and support for dictatorships in Latin America. It’s never been good for the people of South America.

Epic! New Zealander Jono Ridler is planning to swim 1600km in a mission to end bottom trawling and protect the ocean. www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/nationa...

Here's the plan: 1) End fossil fuels 2) Invest in renewables 3) Electrify everything 4) Localise and build community 5) Conserve resources 6) Regenerate nature 7) Protect forests and oceans 8) Switch to plant-based organic regenerative farming 9) Protect democracy 10) Decolonise

Some things are guaranteed to make the world more dangerous. Giving more power to big oil is definitely one of them.

The USA is acting as if it’s just an oil company with an army.

Investing in renewable energy is an act of peace.

A world that’s not dependent on big oil is a more peaceful world. We have to end our dependence on oil and gas, for peace and to survive the climate crisis. #Venezuela

The arrogance of US fossil fuel companies on full display: Greenpeace Intl (not a US entity!) filed an anti-SLAPP vs Energy Transfer in the Netherlands & Energy Transfer is asking a U.S. court to interfere @alleenbrown.bsky.social reports for @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/SLAPP-u... 🧵

Venezuela is a sovereign country and a member state of the United Nations.

Venezuela has accused the US of attacking Caracas. Explosions have rocked the capital. Is Trump attacking another country without provocation?

We need to normalise the idea that there should be no cost for the things we need for basic human dignity and wellbeing.

Who do you think is faster across Auckland in rush hour? A fast driver, a sedate driver or an e-bike? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Where’s the New Year’s Revolution?

where my mind goes whenever people complain that a bike lane is a waste of space because it’s underused

Bike lanes often look empty but it’s not because they don’t get used, it’s because they are so efficient at moving people. beyondca.rs/argument/cyc...

In 2009, Environment Canterbury set itself three drinking water goals, each to be met within 10 years. It’s failed all of them, and drinking water quality is getting worse. #TooManyCows

People often defend these killer ‘trucks’ by blaming pedestrians for being hit. Or they blame ‘poor drivers.’ But it’s the same argument used to oppose restrictions on assault rifles common in school shootings. Both should be banned.

What would success in 2026 look like to you?

Working women in the UK have just one £1billion in compensation after winning equal pay claims, and there’s more to come. The Luxon government took that option away from New Zealand women so to give handouts to landlords instead.

Jacinda Ardern remains New Zealand’s most popular political figure in polls years after she stepped down as Prime Minister. Real leadership lasts.

All I want for Christmas is a massive citywide network of protected bike lanes so that more people can take to bikes and be free of cars!!
