We disaggregate the global results into country clusters by income. Median results show the richest 20% of countries (home to 15% of people) are responsible for over 40% of ecological overshoot in 2017, while the poorest 40% (home to 42% of people) experience more than 60% of global deprivation. 3/

A: it wasn’t anybody’s job.

I talked to the heads of all the agencies involved in the investigation, about why the biggest pollution event in Irish history fell between the cracks.

"Its because I'm Jewish"

The great Miriam Margolyes sets the record straight

"Saying the quiet part out loud doesn’t make it brave; it makes it bleak. It teaches [...] campaigners that integrity is a liability and that reputational violence is a sign of savvy. It tells the public that truth is optional, empathy expendable, and that politics is just performance warfare."

The leader of #Reform #UK in Wales caught taking bribes to push pro-Russia propaganda. He’s ex-UKIP, ex-Brexit Party—all 3 under Trump’s best pal Nigel Farage, who praised #Putin and spread Kremlin lies. #ArronBanks lurks in the same shadows. This is your "patriotism".

okay, brace yourselves for this folks.

An english politician speaking honestly and (in my view) accurately, without a hint of spin, racism or rhetoric. And the audience clapped!

This is not AI. this actually happened on BBC last night. 👇

In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong.
EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action.
So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

A story from last year about your Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Zack Polanski,
"The only way to be morally consistent is to condemn what happened on Oct 7th and to condemn the genocide in Palestine"

"As a Jewish man I feel the genocide very very deeply"

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Less than 70% of science Nobel prize winners awarded this century hail from the country in which they were awarded their prize.

The tragedy of industrial fishing strikes another species off the list. It would appear that this will only end when there are no fish left to catch.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

“The conceptual advance here lies in moving beyond the paradigm of ‘overcoming the barrier’ toward ‘repairing the barrier.’…
In essence, this work illustrates that the BBB is not merely an obstacle to be bypassed but a dynamic &reparable interface whose dysfunction can be therapeutically reversed”🧪🛟

The Lancet, one of the world’s leading medical journals, has issued a report on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The report highlights the catastrophic impact of the ongoing genocide on healthcare, with hospitals under siege, clinicians working without basic supplies or power, and at least 772

It is time to sound the alarm as the EU’s research priorities face an unprecedented degree of political interference

fwiw, I wholeheartedly agree. Those taking the "It's not yet fascism here" line are, in a narrow and technical sense, correct, but the point isn't "OK, we're good then" but "OK, but what will keep it that way? In what ways do we reverse the trend toward an (as yet) unfinished project"?

Over the summer, the Government raided the Climate & Nature fund to pay for gaps in their infrastructure bill. Today's Budget could have fixed that and committed new investment for nature and the environment.
Unfortunately, there has been no change in their approach. A wasted opportunity.

This is an eye-watering tax cut that will go directly into the pockets of big chain restaurants. This tax cut would fund the equivalent of building Luas Finglas every year.
