We can't keep ignoring what's outside the window Record breaking drought will cause food insecurity and increased food prices Not to mention loss of wildlife and human life from wildfires and heat related death Let's do all we can to protect ourselves from the worst impacts of climate breakdown 💚
The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 14h agoThis is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.
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...
Big Oil Is Reaping Rewards From the Chaos in Energy Markets
ExxonMobil’s earnings doubled and Chevron posted its highest quarterly earnings on record as energy prices soared during the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Completely irresponsible of some media, who choose not to acknowledge the scientific reality linking carbon emissions with climate breakdown and ecological devastation
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.
All the evidence shows that wildfires are getting worse in the UK and around the world So why on earth would Andy Burnham grant new oil and gas licenses in week one? Obviously doesn't care about the 15% of the country that currently vote for the @greenparty.org.uk
‘It’s only going to get worse’: wildfires forcing firefighters to make impossible choices
As the climate crisis fuels more intense blazes, pushing them to new parts of the world, those tackling them are forced to ration resources and decide which to fight

A change of leader is not what this country is crying out for We need a complete change of direction to benefit ordinary people, which involves ending state wide corruption and cronyism
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 3w agoLabour have taken money from oil & gas companies, arms trade, private healthcare and gambling firms. Until they resist vested interests - they'll never be the answer to ending rip off Britain. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Are these unfortunate omissions, or a deliberate strategy to protect the forces that are destroying our ability to exist?
Most UK media reports on June heatwave failed to mention climate crisis

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I've been on a few of the marches and they are more like a festival than a hate march. I've not seen the 'Unite the Kingdom' marches getting the same level of scrutiny as those that oppose the extermination of Palestinians 💚🙏🏽
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 3mo ago#trevorphillips tries to argue that because some people say the pro Palestinian marches are hate marches, they are. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on, there is nothing hateful about marching in support of the Palestinians & against Israels brutal occupation & genocide.
