Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

Africa is making our solarpunk dreams a reality!

In Kenya, a company called MycoTile is making biodegradable yet affordable building materials out of fungi grown on plant-based agricultural waste.

This!
THIS is how we and the rest of the world must treat this disgusting MAGA infection.
Cut it off at the knees.
Don't let them treat every public appearance like a MAGA rally to spew their vile lies.

(The irony of Cuba calling him out is not lost on me.)

💸The Trump admin gives the fossil fuel industry nearly *35B* a year in handouts. That money could fund food assistance for 3M families. The money to ensure everyone has what they need to thrive exists – it’s just in the wrong hands. bit.ly/47PPvZ9

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

Also: in no way are Crusoe an "artificial intelligence company".

Crusoe is a fossil fuel company trying to manufacture demand using ultra-wasteful digital technologies. First it was Bitcoin, now it's this.

They get away with it bc journalists help smooth their image.
Extremely telling clip with Crusoe Energy's CEO talking about data centre development.

"there's no way it's going to get to 100% carbon-free power production to power all of the AI infrastructure"

Just saying out loud what the companies say internally.

Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall.

If you know any there, please make sure they’re prepared 🙏

Why it's so important to NOT listen to a wealthy entrepreneur about climate but instead seek out trusted scientific sources like Michael E. Mann!!
Bill Gates is deeply misguided on climate. My Newsweek commentary debunking his downplaying of the need for rapid decarbonization is nearly 5 years old, but it is evergreen: www.newsweek.com/right-path-f...

So, Trump is literally demolishing parts of the East Wing of the White House to make space for a Ballroom that will fit his dictatorship/king ambitions. What's next? A throne room?

Unbelievable, Argentina gets double the bailout $ from Trump while Nevada families get slapped with double the cost for their health insurance.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Trump's Venezuela treat is a 'dead cat strategy ' to distract from what is going on domestically? Especially with the No Kings protest coming up. Just a thought.

125,000 people = front pages and rolling coverage for days

Half a million people = virtually no coverage

We deserve better from our media. Please share widely and consider making complaints via Ofcom

"Chaos by design"
Trump is threatening your job, your healthcare and your child’s education to keep himself in power. That’s not America first. That’s Trump first and he owns this shutdown.

Two countries (Italy and Spain) have deployed warships today to protect their own citizens from another country (Israel).

It is time Israel was treated the same way Apartheid South Africa was, and boycotted by everybody.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.
