Bradford District Green Party@bradfordgreens.bsky.social · 3d ago⚠️ 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.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 7d agoWhilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Well done you guys. ‘As Mayor of Greater Manchester, you oversaw the declaration of a climate emergency and argued that local government lacked many of the powers necessary to deliver the pace of change demanded by the climate challenge. As Prime Minister, those powers now rest with you.’

We give more attention to the Dow of the marketplace than to the Tao of the Universe (Roszak 2001)
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2w agoTerrifying to see wildfires raging through Scotland. The climate crisis isn't a distant threat - it's right here and right now. How many warning signs and alarm bells until Andy Burnham takes action to end oil and gas drilling?
The greatest global threat to both peace and a habitable planet is the government of the USA. It has been so for a long time, but Trump has nixed the deniability. We should stop treating it as an ally that has mysteriously gone astray and start treating it as a hazard to be avoided and contained.
As someone who until recently lived in Oxford, which is also twinned with Ramallah, bring on the twinning. Twinning is also a very old way of enacting a politics of internationalist solidarity.

Climate change is leaving language in the dust: The Japan Meteorological Agency held a public poll to select a name for a day of temperatures of 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. The winner was kokushobi, meaning “cruel heat day.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/w...
It’s So Hot That Japan Needs a New Word for It
Japan this week recorded its first kokushobi, a term that means “cruel heat day,” as temperatures reached 104 degrees. It is not the only country that has scrambled for a new summer vocabulary.

Last year, Louise Haigh said Israel's actions in Gaza were "nothing less than a genocide." Now she's in the Cabinet, will she stand by those words and help end the UK's complicity in it?
Andy Burnham is allowing Donald Trump to use UK bases for his illegal war in Iran. So much for change. This is continuity Starmer.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 3w agoNew drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
