As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Just wondering. I know we have CO2 records from ice cores & stuff but do we have the same for CH4 or others GHGs to work out the forcings from millennia ago?

Definitely don't repost the research that anti-wind groups are trying to bury using lawsuits

Money is not the only currency in
the anti-OSW movement. With
each transmission of a false idea,
with each forum that spreads
misinformation, the anti-OSW
movement gains strength.

“Try harder or Try different”. Clearly trying harder under capitalism isn’t working. We can’t tackle climate change under capitalism. Please have Jason Hickel @jasonhickel.bsky.social on to discuss how to “Try Different” under a social democracy. It’s the white elephant this pod doesn’t mention. 🙏🌎🌱

Comparing GHG intensity of economic agricultural output across all EU member states.
– My charts via Eurostat and UNFCCC data.

[Ireland has by far the least "climate efficient" agriculture of any MS. In other words, Irish agri output has by far the highest GHG emissions per euro in kgCO2e/€]

Bar chart of Agricultural GHG intensity of economic output by Average 2019-2021, comparing EU Member States.
Data: Eurostat agricultural output (tag000102); UNFCCC Agriculture sector total GHG
Chart: Paul Price July 2025 @swimsure.bsky.social

Ireland's Agriculture kgCO2e per euro output is far higher than other EU MS.

“As part of the deal, Mr Trump said the 27-nation EU bloc had agreed to purchase "$750 billion worth of energy" from the United States…..
Ms Von der Leyen said the "significant" purchases of US liquefied natural gas, oil and nuclear fuels would come over three years..” 🔥🌎☠️

EU-US trade deal 'unbalanced' - French minister

A trade deal clinched by the United States and the European Union will provide temporary stability but is "unbalanced," a French minister has said.

Healthy bit of #Greenwashing. Seems standard in most companies mission statements now 🙄🤦‍♂️

Then there’s the whole overconsumption vs overpopulation debate and the need for planned #DeGrowth.

Must've been a long trip

Ronan @ronan369.bsky.social · Jul 17

I still don’t think you get the #Degrowth argument. Why don’t you get @jasonhickel.bsky.social on the Podcast? Your audience deserves to hear a proper debate on this issue with one of the leading experts. 🙏🌍🌱

Congrats Gary. Keep up the great work ✊

I used to think Roger was a bit of an extremist with some of his predictions a few years ago when he was talking about the rise of fascism & wars etc. Pretty sure he’s been right up to now. 🙏🌍🌱

I wonder would “Policy Exchange” want to reverse the proscribing of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation then, if they are that pro free speech etc? 🤔

Just listened to playback of your 200th episode John. Massively impressed by your answers & batting away some listeners attempts to try to trip you up. Spectacular 👏🙌
