Giant trees continue to be logged out of existence by Forestry Tas ie Tasmania's Govt. Instead of turning giant trees into revenue-generating destinations anyone can visit they're still being turned into loss-making woodchips. Sacrilege. #politas www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dear @trussliz.bsky.social a gentle reminder... "Tory MPs revolted against Ms Truss after a series of U-turns on her economic plan sapped her of authority." Your own party kicked you out. Are you going to sue @conservatives.bsky.social next?

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Internet awash with headlines saying "Joe Rogan predicted wildfires". He relayed the prediction of a firefighter - that none of these reports identify. It was the firefighter's prediction, not Rogan's.

This report connects microplastics & cancer epidemic - but doesn't connect fossil fuels with plastic - fossil fuels are what plastic is made from. As fossil fuels cooking planet externally, could also be driving cancer epidemic internally in us too. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

Nice one Elon! Brilliant example of difference between freedom of speech vs speaking the truth. Elon blames #CaliforniaWildfires on... nonsense regulations not months of no rain & high heat from climate breakdown. Graphic via @channel4news.bsky.social
