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

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

England is predicted to reach water shortages of 5bn litres a day by 2055. Data centres are becoming one of the most water-intensive forms of infrastructure Why is the government letting the AI industry keep its consumption private, asks @adelewalton.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/adele-walt...

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?

"Poorer people shouldn't pay for the effects of climate change. 100% agree. The polluter should pay." Green Party co-deputy leader Rachel Millward on LBC's Cross Question.

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

In an open letter, 120 well-off Britons told Burnham: "We can afford it. We're not talking about higher taxes on those who get up and go to work for their income every day, but on the very richest whose income is derived from the wealth they hold." 👏👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My grass is yellow and I can't even remember the last time it rained. Every time I look out and see the dried up earth I feel smothering anxiety.... I can see the fights over who gets water coming. It feels as though everyone else is able to ignore it....

This isn't looking good

I strongly believe in giving the man a chance. But keeping Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary suggests the vicious attacks on immigrants and refugees, and self-defeating attempts to outrun the far right, are likely to continue. Which is pretty damn depressing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

In my lifetime, I've seen segments of society lose trust in evolutionary biology, climate science, and vaccines. None of this was due to anything scientists did. All of it was because non-scientists perceived some advantage (political, cultural, financial) in attacking science's credibility.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

Our politicians and media have whipped up racist violence. We have a choice: We either face down the hatred Or our country will descend into the abyss

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

I refuse to use any FB products - deleted Whatsapp about a year ago, since then I've lost contact with people, been excluded and lost close relationships with 'best friends' due to everyones reluctance to use other channels. I read this, and I wonder: how am I the weird one? Why does no one care?
