Water is being used as a weapon of war. In early March, Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. “Gaza is a killing field, and civilians are in an endless death loop,” UN secretary general, António Guterres. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I think it's a bit cruel when people say Keir Starmer looks like an AI-generated image of a substitute maths teacher... I think it's far better to describe him as a spineless coward who will bend willingly for corporate interests without a care for the longterm environmental impact of his actions 🙂

"Across the 1705 papers, the effect of new vs. old pesticides was similar [...] There was, therefore, limited evidence that the negative environmental impact of pesticides on wider biodiversity has been reduced by the development and authorisation of novel active ingredients and formulations".
Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Driven grouse shooting is about killing animals for fun, which personally I have never understood and it disgusts me.
Plus the damage to ecosystems from the raising of grouse.

There isn’t enough ‘sustainable’ aviation fuel to make a dent in our emissions – and there won’t be for years
It’s better than regular jet fuel, but beware the hype.

The ban driven grouse shooting petition has passed 63,000 signatures. Plz add your name here if you want this discussed in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
I wonder whether we can get to 66,666 by 21 Feb- that would be half way in time and two thirds of the way in signatures.
