Whether it's NatCon & Nigel Farage being shut down in Brussels, or the Palestine Congress and Yanis Varoufakis being silenced in Berlin, censorship of those we disagree with is not good. Freedom of speech is fundamental in any democracy, regardless of whether you lean left or right politically.

Should we trust Shell on this? Of course we bloody shouldn't 😂
If there is one thing that has become extremely clear, it's that fossil fuel giants will not change and decarbonise significantly of their own volition.

It is so, so disappointing to see ambition on climate and energy continually politicised.
🌹 Labour aim to decarbonise our grid by 2030.
🌳 The Conservatives by 2035.
The difference in cost between those dates? £11.4bn
📈 The gas crisis cost over last 2.5 years? £105bn

*somebody* is always going to pay for pollution. the question is who. the Trump team think that pollution should be paid for in hospital bills, human lives, and diminished ecosystems, not by the companies who generate it. it's that simple.
a future Trump administration will be objectively pro-pollution: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024... weaker standards, less enforcement, and the willful refusal to listen to either scientific evidence or the people who bear the cost of environmental damage
‘It would be devastating’: inside Trump’s plan to destroy the EPA
Trump has made campaign promises to toss crucial environmental regulations – including dismantling the federal body with the most power to tackle the climate crisis

There's a lot to suggest 2024 is going to be a pretty extraordinary year for Earth's climate. This graph is wild. After a record year for Global Sea Surface temperatures in 2023 (yellow line), just look how this year has started (red line)...
