There's so much going on, but if we don't protect nature and climate, it's gonna get so much worse. Vote no on the #Mercursor deal Europe!

Devastating climate risk report, suppressed by government, while everyday reporting of extreme storm damage to a rail line making it unsafe to use (and expensive to fix) fails to even mention climate breakdown.

Funny that this is a BBC article when they are propping at climate-denying Farage at the same time!
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfalls, with the greatest impacts falling on the most fragile communities.

Interesting contrast in coverage: a misleading, vested-interest report suggesting heat pumps raise UK bills made headlines.
Our peer-reviewed UK research showing high real-world efficiency across hundreds of homes was largely ignored by the media.

Sounds an awful lot like what Farage is doing in the UK. We need better. Good to see the rise of the Greens here. @zackpolanski.bsky.social
For years, Trump has spun immigrants, reporters, and anyone he dislikes as the "enemy." This created dehumanizing and legitimizing ideology on which he and his administration are now arresting, brutalizing, and killing his invented "enemy."
Terrorism, crime and cruelty have been the plan all along.

Hmmm.

If the UK vote Reform, we will get the USA treatment.
What the US trump regime doesn't understand that no other country/jurisdiction wants to be part of the US. Look at what is being done to their own people. Armed thugs kidnapping or killing people in the streets. We don't even want to visit. And don't get me started on Healthcare and social justice.

Moving away from USA dependency is good @mark-carney.bsky.social but locking in further use of fossil fuels through a pipeline?! Bad! Carbon capture is unproven and unreliable. It's an excuse to keep extracting and sidelines real solutions! Plus China is using more renewable energy than ever!
