Organizers for a new EU-wide Unconditional Basic Income initiative now have six months to begin a 12-month period of collecting signatures. It must gather at least one million valid statements of support from EU citizens, and also reach minimum thresholds in at least seven member states.

EU takes formal step on basic income bid amid AI-driven job fears

A European plan for basic income is now officially registered, but hitting the million-signature mark is just the first obstacle.

Controversial take perhaps, but I think you can install air-conditioning and shutdown data centers at the same time. maybe even steal all the air-conditioning units from the data centers and install them in public housing. Then run them off solar and battery while taxing the hyper rich to death

I think we just passed oops.

Climate change is real. Climate change denial makes rich people richer. There's one of your many problems.

What everyone needs to be aware of is that such heatwaves are now locked-in And - given we are still pumping out 41 billion tonnes of CO2 a year - they will get much worse Whatever we do, the planet's temperature will stay elevated for many thousands of years www.theguardian.com/environment/...

European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say

Study also finds high humidity means people in hundreds of cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress

Europe's worst heatwave so far, in terms of heat stress measures and temperatures - brought to you by fossil fuels. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study showing how such deadly heat became possible in only a few decades. www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

It's official: analysis by @wwattribution.bsky.social reveals that human-caused #ClimateChange is 'unequivocally' to blame for the #Heatwave currently affecting much of Europe. ⚠️ The science cannot be ignored. Temperatures will keep rising until we reach #NetZero emissions. 🌡️

Ongoing European Heatwave 'Virtually Impossible' 50 Years Ago

The ongoing heatwave baking much of Europe is the most severe ever recorded in the region, according to a World Weather Attribution analysis.

earth.org

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

I've just found out this heatwave killed a very very good friend of mine last night, so do forgive me if I have absolutely no patience at all for "lol it's not even that hot" takes on here.

“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”

social media is not the source of climate anxiety. climate change is the source of the anxiety.

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is now PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). The name change follows a multiyear process stemming from a recognition that ovarian cysts aren't the primary aspect of the condition, which affects multiple body systems, and many patients don't have them.

Carbon dioxide averaged nearly 431 ppm in April 2026 (new record high) 10 years ago April averaged about 408 ppm. Preliminary data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/... This is really concerning, and it isn’t going away. The longer we wait, the worse the impacts get and the harder they are to address.

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook

So the "save women's sport" crowd have landed on my niece's teams doorstep in Dublin.... .they wrre to play their semi final (11 year olds) today and the parents of the opposing team started accusing two of the girls of being boys, cos they have short hair. Absolute raging pricks.

Can we not just focus on the climate crisis.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change? Here it is. Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

This. Reminder that shes not just a bigot with bad opinions She actively funds hate groups taking regular trans people to court for doing their jobs, signal boosts lies about individual trans people to her millions of followers and lobbies courts and government to attack us

If you defend Rowling in any shape or form you are dead to the trans community. Simple as that!

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

A Super-duper El Niño lurks below the Equatorial Pacific Ocean surface, with a large section of the ocean showing a temperature anomaly of >5°C. Wait for it:

Worth reading this whole article on the shameful state of tenancy in Ireland. Colonial sensibilities and practices never left - the names of the landlords just changed
