The @metoffice.gov.uk is asking for names for storms. I've gone for Chevron, Exxon, BP, Shell and Equinor as suitable names as #BigOil is failing to support the transition to renewables and is ramping up production.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

“The wisdom of indigenous teachings reminds us that life is not just about claiming rights but about fulfilling obligations. The world is not something to be taken from, but something to be cared for. This mindset shifts the focus from entitlement to stewardship”

This cover is a great example of why we need the 'A' in #STEAM.
The A is for Arts, signifying the importance of incorporating creative thinking & design skills alongside #STEM allowing for a more holistic approach to problem-solving, innovation, and critically, communication, in education.

I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

We are inundated with bad environmental news which can lead to apathy. Good news stories have been shown to spur folk into action. Here's a great one for our pollinators: a highly toxic neonicotinoid pesticide has now been banned 💛🐝

Surely this is a better approach than a social media ban for children? #auspol
This is absolutely BRILLIANT.
The Finnish gov knows that educating its kids to critically think so they can understand the concept of actual fake news will protect its democracy.
The Aust gov needs to consider adding this type of leaning to the Aus curriculum.
