This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.
"None of England’s fire and rescue services are thought to have direct access to firefighting aircraft." It's outrageous. Make the fossil fuel companies pay. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/country-and-...
Fossil fuel producers should pay for wildfire helicopters, Zack Polanski says
Next week is the anniversary of the start of the Langdale Moor Fire in North Yorkshire, the largest wildfire in the country last year.

NHS England has issued an apology after admitting that employees from Palantir & other suppliers can access identifiable information related to individual patients via the Federated Data Platform. 'Our' NHS had claimed only health-service staff could access it! #StopPalantir ⛔️
FFS we cannot keep doing this… A handful of the richest people hoovering up wealth from everyone else while quite literally making the planet unlivable At what point does someone grow a fucking spine and do something?!
This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?
I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …
Government contracts to require job creation instead of green targets under new rules

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.
"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.
If we weren't so broken, divided and led by corrupt rapists, this would be the biggest story of the week. But barely a blip. apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump accounts were closed in 2021 due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says
Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering.

⚠️ It's been the driest July on record. ❓️ But have you heard Andy Burnham say anything about the #ClimateCrisis? 🛢 Instead, he says he is "open-minded" about new North Sea oil and gas. 🟢 Only the Green Party will tackle the climate crisis with the urgency it demands.
The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC has spent a jaw-dropping $30M+ in tomorrow's Democratic primaries in Michigan and Missouri. But if you saw their attack ads, you'd never know it was them. Watch.

1/3 Strip away the theatre and Reform UK is a billionaire-backed project to dismantle the public realm, shred regulatory protections and hand what remains of state power to capital. It’s plain to see – just follow the money.
We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
