Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The EU is banning Russian gas. Finally!
Now, they want to lock us into massive imports of US LNG. Relying on Trump is the opposite of energy security.
Real security comes from renewables – not from dirty fossil gas.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm.
Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions.
That seems very relevant to me.

🚨BREAKING: EU leaders just approved the toxic #EUMercosur deal ignoring 25 years of dissent from farmers ➕ civil society ➕ trade unions ➕ Indigenous Peoples
It’s the 1st time in EU trade history a deal has been pushed through without all Member States’ consent, overruling major European countries.
