Another day, another absurd and totally biased action by the BBC - this time a headline about NHS Wales waiting lists that doesn't match the facts gives the total opposite impression of reality. @mrjamesob.bsky.social can you please bring this up today & make people aware of these sorts of issues?

I've just come across the 'Missions' page on the government website. Looks like it was set up in December and contains 6 pages about the different parts of the Plan for Change. The really good thing is each page the contains links to the latest press releases and policy documents for that area.

Drax gets @£2m per day from our energy bills to burn trees. If approved by MPs, huge new subsidies will do nothing to reduce our bills or support energy security. Instead, it will lead to more forest destruction, harm wildlife, pollute communities with climatewrecking emissions - all at our expense!

Urgent. 2nd June 2025! Drax gets @£2m per day from UK energy bills to burn trees. If approved by 14 MPs huge NEW subsidies will do nothing to reduce UK bills or support energy security. But will further forest destruction, wildlife harms, pollute communities-while pumping climate wrecking emissions.

The UK burns wood pellets in its power stations. Those wood pellets are made in mills in the southeast US. The mills are often in the heart of or right next to communities. They pollute people's air and contribute to health issues, and regularly breach environmental permits. #CutCarbonNotForests

Here's a US pellet mill that produces biomass, which is then sent to UK power stations. Isn't it incredible that cutting down forests, turning them into pellets, shipping them thousands of miles, and setting them on fire, is completely carbon neutral?! #CutCarbonNotForests

Ridiculously important case - @parentsforclimate.bsky.social are taking one of Australia's worst polluters to court for claiming "carbon neutral" power supply Fundamentally, one of the worst lies of the fossil fuel industry in recent years, enabled by the for-profit carbon offsetting industry.

This is big. An Australian energy company has been forced to admit that there is no substitutability between fossil fuel CO2 emissions (average life in the atmosphere of c1,000 years) and the projects/credits offered for carbon offsetting, largely shorter lived nature based avoidance/removal of CO2.

Incredible & important work by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social 🌏🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved 👏 "EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels and apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its ‘Go Neutral’ carbon offsetting product"

This is absolutely shocking news. Gas-linked Carbon Capture actually INCREASES emissions. Our government are either wilfully ignoring this and are set on destroying our planet for short-term gain, or have been taken in by the lies of the fossil fuel lobbyists. 😭 We need @zero-hour.bsky.social now.

Journalistic impartiality isn't about reporting events in a way that tries not to provoke a positive/negative reaction; it's about reporting accurately. In the Independent headline, "rambling" is arguably opinion, but the rest is straight and factual. The NYT headline simply flees from the truth.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.
