#StopBurningStuff What evidence do the stove industry have that modern stoves and better quality fuel and contributing to a significant decrease in air pollution, when the data shows the opposite? #WoodBurning #Greenwashing #AirPollution youtu.be/PR8m2RnBTss

#Drax is the subsidy show that goes on and on, says Nils Pratley #biomass www.theguardian.com/business/nil...

Earth is already shooting through the 1.5°C global warming limit, two major studies show #climatecrisis theconversation.com/earth-is-alr...

USAID’s dismantling already has “tangible consequences not only for people around the world who depend on the agency but also for Americans who expect their government to prevent the spread of terrorism, disease & the global influence of the Chinese Communist Party.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

“…public logging records show Drax still sources whole trees from primary forests…” www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbcnews uncovers #Drax AGAIN ‘misrepresented’ burning from ancient virgin forests. (I call it lying.) WE paid the £25m fine as we pay billions in subsidies. "Ofgem required a further audit to be undertaken and they are working closely with Drax to ensure any ‘misreporting’ does not happen again."

🚨Urgent Drax Action! If Gov goes ahead with decision on Monday to grant new subsidies to Drax, this would be a disaster for forests, communities, bill payers and our planet. Tell Ed Miliband to make the right choice today: tinyurl.com/ed-dump-drax
