Climate policy needs to prioritise rapid fossil fuel phase out. Anyone who says otherwise is either deluded, wilfully ignorant, or lying. And at the same time, produce a massive increase in adaptation. Both are needed to reduce climate risks. 6/6 www.technosphere.earth/its-the-end-...

Israel violated the ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 47 times — killing 38 Palestinians and injured 143.
Today, 11 members of the same family were killed when their bus was struck by an Israeli tank shell.
This is a continuation of genocide by other means.

How They're Rebuilding Gaza's Cage and Calling It Peace

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.
