#Gaza: The U.S.-Israel plan to control the distribution of supplies under the guise of humanitarian assistance raises grave ethical, security and legal concerns. Doctors Without Borders call on Israeli authorities to uphold International Humanitarian Law. Share if you do too.

I also discuss the bizarre and disturbing association between the Starmer government and former special advisers to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. I vaguely remember being told something about "Change". But this continuity is beyond our worst nightmares. Not just Tory policies, but actual Tories.

We have a fairly new pond in the garden, and I had to put some bigger stones in yesterday to anchor the flourishing plants. I went to bed with grave fear that I had crushed the aquatic snails, and I can't fully convey the joy of seeing them both in the pond tonight (After not seeing them in the am).

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

"The question isn't how to solve climate change, it is how to live wisely in a world where the old solutions no longer apply." A Frankly from @natehagens.bsky.social flagging that we need to see the world as it is, not as we want it to be. Give it a watch/listen.

Over a month of siege has left people in #Gaza deprived of food, water and medicine, marking the longest period without relief since the war began. Doctors Without Borders' teams are forced to ration medications and treat wounds without pain relief. This must end.

The U.S. government’s decision to end support for Gavi could deny millions of children routine #vaccinations. While we do not accept Gavi funding, over half of the vaccines Doctors Without Borders use come from ministries of health that rely on it. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/us-de...

During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months.

If we don't respond, the answers will be dominated by the very people who got us into this mess. Decisions about land use all too often fall prey to reactionary politics. So please, even if only briefly, fill out the consultation form. Thanks.

If direct air capture (DAC), a CO₂ removal (CDR) technique, costs $500 per tonne, removing just US emissions would cost ~$3 trillion annually (that's ~4x US military spending). It would also require twice the total power generation capacity of the US today (and it has to be 100% carbon-free).

Feels like we're doing something really wrong if we need a World Water Day but here we are. Here’s a reminder that 2.2 billion people have no access to safe water and half the world doesn’t have basic sanitation but yet rich countries flush their toilets with clean drinking water.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism. What the hell is going on? www.agroforestry.co.uk/save-darting...
