And absolutely staggering inequalities between countries, with rich countries causing most of the ecological overshoot and poorer countries suffering most of the ecological shortfall.

Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance - Nature

A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that Zionism is about the protection of Jewish people. Zionists reserve special hatred for Jews who reject their genocidal project and who insist on the equal humanity of Palestinians.

Kissinger helped prolong the Vietnam War for political gain.

In 1968, while peace talks were underway, he secretly leaked details to Nixon’s campaign - helping sabotage the talks to boost Nixon’s election chances.

The war dragged on for years. Hundreds of thousands more died.

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by one of the worst war criminals of the 20th century.

The year was 1973.

His name was Henry Kissinger.

This is his thread of shame.

Destabilising impact of climate & nature crises on national security is:

“one of the biggest risks facing Britain”

“food import supply chains are coming under pressure”

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan subject of toadying interview on BBC Radio 4 Today despite JPM’s climate wrecking record.

Instead of wedging themselves up Dimon’s fundament, Amol Rajan why not tell the truth?

JPM is the largest fossil fuel funder, $192 billion in last 4 years

How much longer will the BBC, ITV, Sky, C4 and C5 hide AMOC collapse from the British people?

Campaigners were at City Hall today to demand London Assembly members start planning for the UK being plunged into a far colder, drier climate which would decimate agriculture. 🧵

Where did climate change begin?

We tackle that question in the first of a series of bonus essays

We visit Coalbrookdale, where 300 years ago, something momentous happened

And the unintended consequences of it are coming back to bite us...

VICTORY: citing "lack of evidence", prosecutors have dropped the trial against the Drax 15. They never had a case, but they kept defendants waiting for a year to somehow justify an astonishing £3 million police operation. This is yet another example of the repression of protest rights in Britain
