Very alarming that this isn’t being reported by our news media. Some very concerning things being written by Israel and dropped in Gaza. They aren’t hiding it. War crimes in plain sight.

And, for the record, global sea-ice extent, already at an all-time low for the date, is going the wrong way.

2025 isn't holding punches

#NorfolkBirding #lowcarbonbirding Blogpost on an Eastern Yellow Wagtail type from 2015. A very interesting bird with a harsh, buzzy, rasping call & an appearance that looked really good for (plexa?) Eastern Yellow Wagtail. tg42lowcarbonbirding.wixsite.com/tg42/post/a-...

#NorfolkBirding A brief cycle to the Stubb side of the roost produced, aside from the regulars, an ad male Hen Harrier and a Spoonbill - def my first in February. Only one other person there - a novice who was very pleased with his first Hen Harrier.

I wrote a chapter in this book about how my attitude towards flying has changed. Many of my scientists friends wrote chapters about their personal journeys in the climate emergency context. This weekend there is a 25% discount with code PREORDER25 at @waterstones.bsky.social

YouTuber Gary Stevenson addresses the RMT Young Members conference about the need to confront the way wealth is transferred from the poor to the super-rich.

The natural ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere (something we’re banking on) is weakening. And as an added bonus retreating Antarctic glaciers are increasing mercury levels, further threatening marine organisms. Reducing emissions is the only solution we have.

Here's the latest extreme weather report. This week's repost goes out there especially for all those saying "What I do can't make any difference.." (www.un.org/en/actnow/te...)

The super rich have more power than ever before. The old political parties have utterly failed. They've made things worse. We don't have time to mess around. I spoke to @novaramedia.com about why you need to join @greenparty.org.uk novaramedia.com/2025/02/21/t...

Do you feel the richest you've ever been? On Piers Morgan Uncensored tonight

Our media and politicians can pull a documentary on the experiences of children during the genocide in Gaza because one person involved is the son of a Hamas member, yet they won’t speak honestly about what we’re all seeing with Musk and Bannon. Useless. bsky.app/profile/dani...

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 21, 2025 ~ Plastic people. "Researchers studying birds and the food they eat are now finding much larger volumes of the toxic PFAS chemicals than before. The substances either never break down or degrade very slowly, which is why they are called 'forever chemicals.'"

Israel bombs its own people, killing them, then gets upset when Hamas gives them the body of a Gazan woman they killed instead of an Israeli woman. Maybe shouldn't have killed either of them in the first place www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

Why are we still not seizing Russian assets? Why are we still giving Russia our money? They don’t call it Moscow-on-Thames and Londongrad for nothing. inews.co.uk/news/world/w...

Norfolk County Council having a transport summit with DfT to reallocate funds from failed Wensum link project WHERE is the community and campaigner input into this? Such discussions should not be held behind closed doors by a few. 🚨Excluding the public leads to bad decisions. archive.ph/kizN7

Closely mirrors my dad’s crazy 20th year. Volunteered, trained in Canada, missions over Germany, shot down, baled out, on the run, captured, Gestapo at Dulag Luft, Luft 3, evacuated / force marched, liberated by Russians, home to a bank job. Not much scared him after that youtu.be/Tedue3zoe7A?...

Interesting. Ryanair removing some flight routes because of high taxes. Suggests that if environmental taxes were applied, airlines would fly fewer planes... How about it?

While eyes are elsewhere and your media keeps quiet, Israel carries on being Israel, doing things that would fill your news programmes if other countries did them:

🙄 “Western governments and media remain silent on Israel’s genocide in Gaza while cracking down on those who speak out.” johnmenadue.com/gaza-the-dea...

Cheer up! 🤣

Just a coincidence that every American is in higher debt than ever. Certainly not a lack of material help from jobs / gov't to fill in for the IMMENSE influx in prices that has not stopped SURELY this is not the sign of an imminent collapse Households will DEFINITELY remain resilient by... magic?
