URGENT:8 activists, including 2 female climate defenders, were arrested today at NEMA headquarters while delivering a petition to save the critically important Lwera wetland. Silencing the voices of those who protect our environment is an injustice to us all. #FreeTheDefenders #SaveLwera

Reform UK says if elected they'll slash taxes & restrictions for fossil fuel companies, grant new #OilAndGas licences, scrap net zero policies, support fracking & new coal mines. In 2024, almost half Reform’s donations were linked to climate denial & fossil fuel interests

The criticism from X-creters about Bluesky as an "echo chamber" are funny.
