Compulsory to understand why we are where we are.

After months off social media l’m forced back by the deeply uncomfortable words of my colleague & friend @dancalverley.bsky.social Through the lens of the Tour de France, Dan explores the destructive implications of our preference for wilful ignorance. https://t.co/ylvoMGyfUu

"‘Climateflation’ could push up UK food prices by more than a third by 2050, report says" As people know, I have been warning of "climateflation" food shocks for a very long time. Unfortunately, this study makes the same mistake others make. https://t.co/3NSuelUicq 1/🧵

This doesn't look good! Forest fire in Caminomorisco, Las Hurdes, province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain now....🔥👀 https://t.co/utPpTssSM5

"Water companies enforcing hosepipe bans leak over one billion litres of water a day." Yep, you can't water your plants but they get to leak over 1,000,000,000 litres of water per day from their badly maintained, underinvested, cracked old network of pipes. Ho hum.

“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one filming it.” – unknown

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "Is the necessary zero-carbon transformation to our societies, economies, industries, entertainments and sports likely to happen in time to stop the shit from really hitting the fan? Honestly, no, it’s not likely at all. "

We’re told that the wealthy are society’s great entrepreneurs. Without them, we’re told, there would be no jobs, no business, no innovation, but that’s a myth. The rich aren’t entrepreneurs. They preserve, protect and hoard instead. It’s time to stop believing their PR myths.

The word "preemptive" is propaganda. Iran wasn't about to attack Israel & doesn't have a single nuclear weapon. It's an NPT member. Israel just initiated a war of aggression - the supreme international crime - against Iran. Israel has a nuclear arsenal & is not an NPT member.

This coup was carried out only a year after the US-backed coup in Iran, and was one of dozens that would be inflicted against progressive, socialist, or otherwise anti-imperialist leaders across the global South over the decades that followed.

On this day in 1954, the United States orchestrated a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive and democratically-elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies. In

Israel and the United States are together the single greatest threat to peace and stability in the Middle East. This is obvious to everyone in the region, and to any sane observer.

"Big oil’s laughing while we choke on their emissions. Cut the subsidies, save the planet. #ClimateAction #GreenFuture"

I brought a motion titled "Ensuring sex and Gender are not conflated when gathering data" to @TheGreenParty conference in 2021. Former co leader @sianberry lobbied against it & called it transphobic. The motion was taken off the agenda and I was suspended a day later.

NEW UN REPORT: “The evidence reveals a deplorable increase in sexual and gender-based violence [since October 2023]... There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them."

I have a court date: May 27 My case centres on the disgraceful way @TheGreenParty punishes members who challenge the trans mantra. The core of politics is debate over disagreement, but this is forbidden in a Party dominated by the dogma of #believemenindresses.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The 365-day running average for global sea-ice extent is once again in "Gobsmacking bananas" territory, registering an average of 20,247,500 km² on March 12, 2025. How low will it go? The climate 8-ball says: "Sorry, my funding was cut."

The US intervened in foreign elections at least 128 times between 1946 and 2014, to sway outcomes in its own interests, usually to prevent left-wing parties from coming to power. Link in next tweet.

something is very, very wrong with our planet

The real-life disaster film in LA was the direct result of Big Oil's pollution and decades of lies. If you’re lucky enough to be standing on that stage, don't forget the industry shaping all our lives. All speeches: https://t.co/wMiMSXaMjy @givebigoilcred #oscars2025 #oscars
