Speak out - name it as genocide - and then act. End all arms sales, impose a wide range of sanctions and call for the arrest and trial of all those guilty of war crimes, including prime minister Netanyahu.

Flawed hybrid car efficiency data to stifle UK EV sales and propagate pollution: Great to see the motoring press covering @transenv.bsky.social's report on the UK govt's watering down of the Zero Emissions Vehicle Mandate.

Massive congratulations to @parentsforclimate.bsky.social for launching the legal action against EnergyAustralia and securing a landmark result: an apology for greenwashing and a commitment to direct emission reduction. Well done to Equity Generation Lawyers as well. Have a read:

A high-profile 'carbon capture' project doesn't even capture enough co2 to cover it's own pollution, making it a net emitter Projects like this get plenty of soft media coverage of their promises, none have delivered There is no silver bullet, climate pollution must be stopped at the source

Pity the uk doesn’t feature on this graph (we need to be back in EU). I think it would match or outrank Slovakia in the inequality of electric to gas prices with a ratio of 4:2.

Extraordinary and chilling moment at the UN. Relief chief Tom Fletcher accuses Israel of using starvation “as a bargaining chip.” Urges the Security Council to act decisively to prevent genocide in Gaza.

Would like to see someone in government explain how you fill the large and widening skills gap that is hampering the net zero transition while also slashing net migration in an economy with an ageing population?

Both climate policy and Tony Blair are “disconnected from reality” - both assume CCS works, is affordable and can be delivered at scale. Both are wrong I believe.

Congrats to @theguardian.com for co-launching the #89PercentProject - reminding us yet again that vast majority of world’s people want climate action. The climate denial of the populist right is the minority. The media needs to reflect this & governments urgently need to show far greater leadership

“At current rates, some 100,000 new homes will have been constructed in Category 3 flood plains in the next five years. None of these will qualify for the Flood Re re-insurance scheme.”

Please write to your MP asking that they vote against this bill. Tell them the consequences for the environment and for them politically.

A sustainable mobility system is about more than its fuel source. “Greening” just two kilometres of double-wide tramway with sedum or grass removes 10,000 square meters (one-and-a-half football fields) of asphalt; thereby improving rain retention, heat migitation, air quality, and sound absorption.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

For months, UK wildlife groups have been positive about govt agenda on reforming planning. Because they recognise stuff has to be built, but that wildlife CAN also benefit if done right But they've not been getting a hearing inside govt, and patience has snapped www.theguardian.com/environment/...
