Your regular reminder that there ISN’T a “war on cars.” Any objective observation in most cities however, would conclude that for 60+ years there’s been a war on every mobility choice EXCEPT cars. And that’s been bad for EVERYONE, including drivers. Poster via @urbantruth.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

Arrogance is thinking technological cleverness will always save us from ecological collapse.

The difference--

My feeling, exactly. ☠️🤬☠️🤬

I can’t even begin to tell you how tired and worn out I am by this trend in im-mobiles called cars. Whetherme as a cyclist, unable to see over them, or as a pedestrian, with them robbing me of even more of my zest for life - and always accompanied by the thought: ‘They are made to kill’.

Wildfires raging in Europe. Heatwaves breaking records. Forests burning while the Congo Basin & Amazon — our lungs — face ongoing threats. We did not inherit Mother Earth; we borrow her from our children. Protect & restore! #CongoBasin #Amazon

STOP calling it: • "Save the planet" START calling it: • "Save our homes" • "Save our food" • "Save our children" Because that's what it is. #ClimateCrisis

Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average. Climate change makes extreme fire weather more likely and intense — drying fuels, extending seasons, and turning landscapes into tinderboxes. Wildfires are burning more land, more fiercely, from California to Canada to the Mediterranean.

The #DeepWonders team, led by @divaamon.bsky.social, encountered this curious grenadier fr the genus Coryphaenoides at 1,900m — 2.3 times as deep as the height of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Also known as rattails, most are smaller; this individual was nearly 1m long.

Did I ever mention how much I hate him?

“We need an Ozempic for cars. They are growing at a phenomenal rate, wreaking havoc on roads, squeezing out smaller vehicles and endangering pedestrians. Like ever-hungry teenagers, cars in Europe are growing on average a centimetre wider every year.” Don’t repeat North America’s mistake, Europe.

Britain’s cars and SUVs are growing bigger – but there is a way to stop this deadly ‘carspreading’ | Christian Wolmar

Larger vehicles crowd our roads and are far more dangerous to pedestrians. Let’s curb them before they do even more damage, says says transport commentator Christian Wolmar

For years, scientists, doctors and environmental organisations have warned that PFAS “forever chemicals” accumulate in our soil, our water, our food and eventually in our bodies. Now, even breast milk is contaminated with these substances. One in five babies gets too much PFAS.
