Thank you. I agree with him. I feel a lot of what we do as TCV, in the community or with the Green Party and other voluntary roles is about countering this

Oil and gas giants have made huge profits for decades while driving the climate crisis. I'm backing the @makepolluterspay.bsky.social campaign to make the biggest polluters contribute their fair share towards tackling the crisis and protecting our communities and economy.

Carla Denyer MP stands alongside two people in front of a banner that says 'Make polluters pay for climate damage.'

🪸 On this #WorldOceanDay, let’s remember that coral reefs host incredible biodiversity, supply our food, and support our health and livelihoods, incl. through tourism, and are vulnerable to climate change, overfishing and pollution. 🧪🌏

Thought provoking day yesterday at AdFree Leeds workshop. Had been horrified that morning to see the May average CO2 ppm had hit 430 so when they wanted us to get crafty there was question of what topic

Victoria Smith - for Kirkstall, Leeds @tor1981.bsky.social · Jun 7

Arriving now at 430ppm. En route to climate breakdown.

It should be clear to everyone at this point that the only reasonable course of action is a military coalition of states to impose a no-fly zone around Gaza, physically stop Israel's genocidal slaughter, and rush aid in to prevent mass starvation.

The slaughter is accelerating, Israel's genocidal meat machine is going berserk and Western leaders describe Israel's behaviour as "possibly in breach of International Law". Possibly? Possibly? Instead of cutting off all ties with Netanyahu they rap him with a warm lettuce...
