Proud that @greenparty.org.uk is standing up against #Genocide and #Apartheid - no compromise with complicity. Support for BDS is a long-established Green Party policy - more important with the present horrendous Israeli Government policy in Gaza and the West Bank than ever.

We wish it was a happier topic, but it's an urgent one.
We dove deep into the apocalyptic fervor of the far right to issue a warning about the rise of End Times Fascism.

Here we go again, adaptation as the solution - even though IPCC says clearly that there are hard and soft limits to adaptation, so we have to reduce emissions. Not to say that we don't need to adapt, but it is not an alternative. The US is knowingly being misleading to avoid admitting the science.
Not *too* unbelievable 😉
