Maybe vertical drinking is a crucial aspect of British life, and it's appropriate for Downing Street to intervene. In the meantime, however, Number 10's howling silence about the climate emergency - amidst drought, fire and crop failure - continues. #Priorities www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

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.
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.

While wildfires burn and we swelter through heatwaves, Shell announced a £7.4 billion last quarter profit. It’s utterly irresponsible and morally reprehensible, and each week we hold a vigil to lament this brokenness. This week we joined a bigger protest, because this wrong should be a big story.
As Europe burns, Shell has banked £7.4 billion in just three months. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.
I always wondered what it would take for the Telegraph to decide there might be a downside to climate breakdown. Well, now we know. Even so, this article manages not to mention it.
I'm not qualified to judge whether such people are psychopaths. All I can say is that they behave as if they are. From today's Telegraph.

Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder | Bill McGuire

The saddest truth? The Earth does not need humans—we are the ones who rely entirely on the Earth. If we continue to destroy our only home, there will be no other world to nourish and protect us; yet, knowing this, we continue to drain Mother Earth dry like parasites.
