Foggy day, Redesmere.

The dangerous fool of a muppet ‘in charge’ of unraveling the US is apparently agent Krasnov, recruited as a 40 yr old businessman in 1987, by the KGB.

Privatisation has failed. My Private Members Water Bill is an unmissable chance to put public ownership of our water back on the table as a solution. In less than 2 minutes, you can make sure your MP attends my Bill’s crucial debate on 28th March: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

New petition: "Nationalise the UK water industry" Deadline 29 May 2025, created by Leslie Allen #NewPetition

Humans, and sadly most other species on the planet, are totally f&%ked. There. I said it.

For decades, fossil fuel companies have engaged in cycle of making climate action commitments, then walking away, while still greenwashing to keep public and investor favour. Companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, and Shell continue prioritising fossil fuel profits over decarbonisation

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

This was a long time coming! I've been asking the Government probing questions about the supposed independence of #LordWalney 's advice since October. He advised government to treat climate protesters as extremists, while having clear financial links to oil and gas companies 🤔 #LordWalney16

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

A recent United Nations study found that one out of every 20 objects moving through global supply chains is now some form of plastic — amounting to a trillion-dollar annual industry worth more than the global arms, timber and wheat trades combined

Just a suggestion, but maybe now is the time to: 1. Get behind Starmer. 2. Sell sell sell.

It's hard to believe that humanity is at a place where a headline like this, to our peril, is merely met with a yawn... Earth is now retaining profuse excess heat - the equiavlent of a million nuclear bombs per day - in our climate system. Today’s Berardelli Bonus H/T to @LeonSimons8 Linear trend

A venture with over 140 contributors, which Biden instigated …and the ignorant idiots in power now took a wrecking ball to. Dr. Levin: “The loss of the National Nature Assessment means that we’re losing important information that we need to ensure that nature and people thrive.”

Bird flu outbreaks are driving up egg prices for families. Now, Elon Musk wants to shut down USAID, the agency responsible for monitoring outbreaks in dozens of foreign countries. With egg prices increasing grocery bills, why halt efforts to prevent a U.S. bird flu crisis?

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

In the corner of the drawer below, you can see three mandrake roots. A poisonous plant whose roots bear an eerie resemblance to human figures, the mandrake was thought to have magical and curative properties & was rumoured to shriek when plucked from the ground.

REMINDER: Don't listen to the tech bros, #Geoengineering is NOT a #climate solution. Gratitude & solidarity to the Indigenous communities who led the fight agains this dangerous distraction, as well as their allies @cielorg.bsky.social, @etcgroup.bsky.social, @foeus.bsky.social and others. ✊🙏🌍

Fruit-eating bats are important for maintaining forest health with seed dispersal. For decades, researchers have explored ways to harness this as for reforestation. One method has been to use fruit-derived essential oils to attract bats to deforested sites, where their seed-loaded feces may help.

Government launches Land Use Framework consultation into how limited land in England should be used and where is best to farm, restore nature or build infrastructure: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Mandelson can invoke King Charles in his interactions w Trump, he ought be on safer ground, I’m thinking. The enablers who surround him won’t give a toss of course. Still. We will see…

Does artificial intelligence bias perceptions of environmental challenges? New research by @profhvdv.bsky.social et al "chatbots are prone to proposing incremental solutions that draw heavily on past experience and avoid more radical changes" #climatecrisis iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

BREAKING: We’ve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. 🎉 👏 NO NEW OIL AND GAS! 📣 This is GAME-CHANGING. And it’s ONLY been possible thanks to YEARS of fighting by THOUSANDS of climate campaigners! Power to the people. ✊

If we let AI become our primary source of information - which we should NEVER do - we will only be lied to. That's true whether the AI is controlled by a country like China or a company like X. AI is just mining other information, often badly, and filtering through some funky algorithm. Not good.

16,500 pregnant & breastfeeding women needing treatment for acute malnutrition 48,000 pregnant women experiencing catastrophic food insecurity 300% increase in the rate of miscarriage due to pregnant women experiencing trauma & poor sanitation But this is a war on Hamas right?

If Canada or U.K. had any desire to vault ahead in biotech and medicine, Trump is a VAST opportunity. Recruit recruit recruit - scientists are moveable and US science can collapse into a generative AI hallucination within a decade. Invest NOW in our future and give US scientists a new home!
