Worked on this wildfire investigation for the last number of months with colleagues across the EU. To publish today is, sadly, very timely. While Ireland doesn’t experience the ‘mega fires’ we see in Spain etc, the damage caused to protected sites here is actually far greater than most of Europe.

The UK's first AI minister has been appointed... We and 78 orgs wrote to 108 data-centre corps asking them not to partner with Drax. 📩 We got 2 vague replies. ❌ We need a moratorium on this mayhem: for water, for power, for people, for climate. www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/2026/drax-da...

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🔴 Today the European Commission unveiled its proposed revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), one of the EU’s flagship climate policies. At a time of record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, we need a climate strategy focused on reducing emissions at source, not on false solutions 👇

👉 Introducing carbon removals into the EU ETS could open the door to unproven technologies like Bioenergy with #CCS – a false solution that could increase emissions and divert huge public subsidies. Read @biofuelwatch.bsky.social latest blog👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/bl...

This must not happen @andyburnham.bsky.social ! The UK has just experienced record heat killing thousands, we've got disastrous wildfires, including in 2 national parks, and forests are burning out of control across 🇨🇦. Approving new oil and gas fields will aggravate climate disasters further.

Stop Rosebank@stopcambo.bsky.social · 3w ago

BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

In an article published by @realzeroeurope.bsky.social we expose the hype around #BECCS, which serves as a PR tool for the #biomass and fossil fuel industries even though large-scale CO2-capture from biomass burning has never been demonstrated: www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/bl....

Good article about #BECCS by @mjflepage.bsky.social : www.newscientist.com/article/2522... "BECCS...is ridiculously expensive, would be catastrophic for biodiversity if it were done on this scale and... it doesn’t even work. It actually increases CO2 emissions...on the timescales that matter."

A key solution to climate change isn't happening – and that's good

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere by capturing the carbon from burning biomass is supposed to save the planet, but it looks like the flagship project will never happen

Across the EU, logging has been the main reason why the forest carbon sink is shrinking; in some member states, forests have become a net source of CO2 emissions. In 2021, ~500 scientists wrote a letter to world leaders warning about the harm done to climate/forests by burning forest wood for energy
