Might be a better idea to pray/vote for better politicians.

What a refreshingly predictable take from the climate-denying Farmer Journal, doing actual farmers no favours whatsoever with their constant misdirection.

This is how Haaretz, a major Israeli newspaper, is reporting on the daily mass murder of starving civilians in #Gaza, while @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, Germany, Italy, the UK and other cowards in Europe cheer on this abominable US-armed slaughter.

Forget about which party is ahead or behind in the horse-race below: what’s truly mind blowing is that a YouGov survey of top TEN problems facing UK fails to even mention the #climate or ecological crisis, which is, by orders of magnitude, the greatest threat we all face.

Stunning video montage of just the last two weeks on our dangerously overheating home planet, from the excellent team at @weareyellowdot.bsky.social. It can be hard to keep up with the #climate 💩 that’s happening but this really helps.

Given the genocidal horrors of the last 21 months, if Israel now decided to finish the job, round up several million Palestinians & push them into mass incinerators, who’s to say that even that would be enough to persuade the EU to break political & economic ties? www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Incredible thread below from @leohickman.carbonbrief.org tracking the constant stream of mendacious anti-renewables “reporting” in Daily Telegraph, followed by inevitable grovelling “Clarifications” in small print on page 31. Followed by yet more lies.

“Peat harvesting activities are in flagrant violation of environmental law. They are destroying our precious natural environments” Widespread tolerance for crimes against nature in rural Ireland & chronic lack of enforcement. (ps. This is mining not “harvesting”) www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

What a bunch of silly sausages: imagine picking something as petty as this to try to score cheap points. Someone needs to tell these folks that they doth protest too much, and constantly crying wolf simply erodes public trust and sympathy.

A great day for democracy as, in the midst of a sweltering heatwave, New York rejects billionaire and Zionist-backed Democrat candidate in favour of young socialist outsider.

Why do news organisations rush to publish the latest uncorroborated online ramblings from this deranged individual rather than just waiting to check with someone sane to see what’s actually going on?

Wow, the gloves have really come off now. EU threatens non-specific actions that MAY or may not happen at some future point if the Gaza genocide somehow gets even worse. Makes you proud to be European. 🇪🇺 🤷🏼‍♂️

Think the EU needs to respond in kind: all US passport holders should have their phones checked and social media vetted so we can refuse entry to MAGA extremists or any American supporting Israel’s genocide. What’s sauce for the goose…

“Hard to escape the feeling that the world is rapidly descending into a new dark Age of Idiocracy – one dominated by deranged politicians, predatory corporations & billionaire narcissists who have disengaged from reality” My take in today’s Business Post. www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...
