A conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson summed up 2025 for me – and not in a good way | George Monbiot

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

Seven out of ten Brits are big fans of renewable energy and want to see lots more of it.
But they think the majority of people DON’T support it.

A good thread summarising beautifully the 'population issue' (from both directions).
The particular point made here however is excellently illustrated by this video I happened to see just yesterday from the excellent Julie Nolke, for more little light-hearted take 😁

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply.
It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall.
