A market reopened in the town of Jabaliya, offering Gazans fruits and vegetables after over a year of Israeli bombardment. It was a welcome sight after months of hunger and deprivation. But it was not the market it used to be. The photographer Saher Alghorra reflected on the image. nyti.ms/3DeS8XY

✅ “If decarbonisation targets are to be met, people will need to use public transport far more in future” Electrification is vital AND we also need a proper plan to reduce the need for motorised travel and shift more journeys to public transport & active travel

Messier 106 📸 Here is my latest photo of the M106 spiral galaxy using my telescope in the backyard. Most galaxies appear quite small through the telescopes I use, but this one shows up well in the 1000mm range!

Trump sparked outrage by disparaging Zelensky, who defended himself over Trumps “dictator” slur WH told Zelensky to “tone down” his rhetoric, such as a remark that Trump lived in a Russian “disinformation space”, accusing Zelensky of “badmouthing” the president www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Give farmers the option of being paid to rewild their land, just as they are to graze it with sheep or plant it with sitka. As things are, their only livelihood options are ecocidal. That's not the fault of farmers, but society.

Paying farmers to rewild is by far THE most important thing society could do to reverse nature loss. But here in Ireland, it wouldn't involve 'doing nothing'. As someone practising rewilding for almost 16 years, I can tell you it requires very hard work: removing invasives, and much more.

Welcome melancholy as a fleeting shadow, dancing through your soul like autumn leaves - but never give it the keys to make your heart its permanent dwelling. Gurdeep.org

All the crimes humanity perpetrated on this planet, it has also perpetrated on itself: destruction, extinction and exploitation are not side effects but essential elements of this civilisation’s operating system.

Raw veganphobic BBC headline re this accused murder gang... Their "cult" revolved around anti-rationalism, not veganism. But BBC went for the Daily Mail click-bait hate-promoting headline.😪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Another ministers emo outburst: “All I know is that even if [girls ed] is not religious obligation or tradition, it is at least permissible,” he said as he covered his face & broke down. “Religious studies are allowed, so modern science should also be permitted” www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-a...

ECIU estimates that the UK has spent ~£140bn in total on wholesale gas between the start of 2021 and the end of 2024 - an extra £90bn on gas over the last four years. One of many reasons to reduce our dependency on gas by shifting to more renewables, better insulation, etc. eciu.net/media/press-...

Successful second homes crackdown means homes are £30k cheaper for Cymry, who actually need them.

"Botched" 🫤 The obsession with house prices has been a disaster for the UK. It's an obscenity that young people can't securely house themselves in the way that I and my parents could.

Anyone else think they are both wondering why the guy in the middle who crashed the economy is being invited to share his opinion on Newsnight?

My hair is blown backwards by the spectacle of JP Morgan launching a new note about climate impacts whilst they continue to actively lend their immense power towards worsening those impacts www.bloomberg.com/news/article... @eroston.bsky.social

In my MSc dissertation on climate finance, I show that very high-level financial actors consider the integration of climate data to be a necessary condition for informed decision-making. This means that JP Morgan and other banks are, in effect, making the informed decision to short the Earth.

Many of the victims were Hindu pilgrims who were traveling to the Maha Kumbh festival in northern India. Thousands of people were gathered at the New Delhi railway station waiting to board a train.
