The documentary Yunami, executively produced by Leo DiCaprio & directed by Richard Ladkani is frankly superb. It left me determined to stand up for the environment, but also to hug my family tight. A very human film - with a sensitive indigenous view-point. @fm4.orf.at sound.orf.at/podcast/fm4/...

On this day, June 16th, 2016, British member of parliament Jo Cox was murdered. She said “we have more in common than that which divides us” Her murderer shouted "Britain first" It seems, we are already in danger of relativizing the horror as the recent Kneecap silliness showed. #NeverForget.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Tonight in New York at the #tribecafilmfestival Austria's Richard Ladkani will present his new film #Yanuni. It is about the struggle of #JumaXipaia to protect the #AmazonRainforest and her way of life: I am so excited this film is ready for the world to see, I hope it gets a big distribution.

The idea of #regenerativefarming is to work with nature rather than against it, to improve #soil rather than deplete it. It's a circular rather than extractive philosophy. This that sound highfalutin, I asked Sheila Darmos to explain the sights, sounds and smells on her #farm in #Greece:

A May heatwave in Greenland and Iceland was 40x more likely compared to pre-industrial and extends this year's melt season. Fredi Otto is quoted with "a 1% chance of occurring in a year, the analysis said. But without human-caused climate change, such an event would be “basically impossible” "

The people of #Graz are in shock and intense mourning after the school shooting yesterday.

The shock in #Graz sits deep. Irresponsible media-intrusion combined with speculative #socialmedia harrassment is adding salt to the fresh wounds. On #OKfm4 today, reporter Gregor Waltl describes the scene (here's an english transcription) christiancummins1.substack.com/p/graz-a-day...

Deeply shocked by the news of the school shooting in Austria. Every child should feel safe at school and be able to learn free from fear and violence. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Austrian people in this dark moment.
