Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?
The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...
The dystopian world worthy of George Orwell genocide perpetrated by the terrorist state of Israel is supported by a majority of Cabinet members while people protesing against genocide are condemned as terrorists
Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.
Colorado River. Humans are the most selfish, ignorant & destructive species on earth. If you have children/grandchildren, you might want to get engaged & be proactive in working with your government officials to save what is left of our natural resources. They will thank you ~
Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.

As teaching staff face job loss, their bosses have netted pay rises and bought advice from a “vampiric” management consultancy, writes Prof. John Heathershaw of the University of Exeter

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
By doing this so publicly Lowe is kindly showing us how to sausage of bigotry in power is made. Newish party steals small but signifiant percentage of more established party’s vote share and uses this as leverage to get their extreme policies and rhetoric adopted and normalised.
Rupert Lowe pitches a deal from Restore to Farage's Reform. His conditions are full adoption of Restore's policies on mass deportations" including "millions must go" slogan on legal migrants + his policies on Islam + a referendum on death penalty + the ditching of Rupert Jenrick & Suella Braverman
💔 Every war leaves more than broken cities—it scars the Earth. Bombs ignite forests, poison rivers, pollute the air, destroy wildlife, and leave generations to face the consequences. Peace protects more than people. It protects our only home.🌍

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

Govt planning c. 100 new data centres by early 2030s, mostly in already water stressed areas. They have no legal obligation to disclose how much water they use. Meanwhile Govt launches £75m publicity campaign to urge us to reduce water use & privatised water companies waste 19% thro leaks. Madness
That fossil fuel extraction is killing our planet - and hence us - is beyond argument now. That it is happening for the enrichment of already obscenely wealthy corporations is madness. That we're just sitting watching it happen is inexplicable. Start the fight back, now! Join @greenparty.org.uk
Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...
Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security. Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes. Time to end water privatisation.
To be fair, he must've thought that even AI wouldn't come up with anything as puerile and cringeworthy as his previous 'War is stupid and people are stupid'. And now we know that Genocide George never even meant that anyway.
“boy george admits he used AI to create his new pro-israel song” is now a sentence we can say

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
#Spain combination of high solar irradiance, large available land, and aggressive #renewable auction programs has made it one of Europe's fastest-growing solar markets. #Solar regularly sets the marginal price in Spain's electricity market — meaning that when the sun shines, prices fall toward zero.
Mass arrests took place outside Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier today as hundreds joined a Defend Our Juries' "Graduation Day" protest against the Palestine Action ban. Founder Huda Ammori has just been granted permission to appeal the ban. ~50 arrests reported as of 2:45pm 🧵

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.
Jonathan Porritt has been arrested. As he says "trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."
