Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

IMAGINE asks #OceanRebellion how much damage a net as big as ten jumbo jets causes as it drags across the seabed. It catches everything in its path, destroys marine life, releasing the ‘blue’ carbon stored there. Bottom trawling emits more greenhouse gases than aviation 1/4 youtu.be/zddTB9PzmsA?...

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

The UK Government pushed for the Global Ocean Treaty, agreed by the UN in March, so they should show leadership by implementing it and support a ban on deep sea mining immediately. Can you join me and call on David Lammy to deliver global ocean protection now? Thanks ✍️ act.gp/44M8iQA

Hunts kill foxhound puppies who don’t “make the grade,” sometimes just over markings. They use a brutal method called thumping—smashing puppies against hard surfaces to kill them. It’s cruel. Foxhounds deserve better. Tell your MP to stop this now. Link in comments 👇

The Scottish Government must recommit to action on climate and nature. Recently we've seen Galloway National Park dropped, Flamingo Land given the go ahead at Loch Lomond, and the heating bill watered down. It's not enough to talk a good game, we only have one planet, we need to look after it.

Tune out the blah blah. This right here is why the climate crisis continues unabated and why we will cross 2ºC Emissions MUST fall by 5.5% THIS year and EVERY year thereafter until 2030 if we are to stand a remote chance of staying below 2ºC - there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of this level of reduction.

Pakistan’s solar and wind boom just got a boost—cheap Chinese batteries are making clean power reliable day and night. Factories like Lucky Cement are ditching fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and keeping the power flowing. When tech gets affordable, the energy transition speeds up.

Privatised water monopolies have failed, clearly and catastrophically - and it's customers and the environment that are paying the price for shareholder profits. It's long past time to bring water back into public hands, where it belongs.

Here's a doozy: A 1982 Exxon memo warning of "potentially catastrophic events" that "might not be reversible" dismissed solar because it might take 40-50 years to build out. That would be now! And Big Oil is STILL using this excuse. It's true, building solar takes too long… if you never start.

Consider the implications of providing the power to say no and still live to every worker, thanks to a sufficiently high universal basic income. YOU would choose to do whatever work you choose at the pay you agree to, and everyone around you in your place of work would also be choosing to be there.
