I wonder if there will be an outcry to this very real health threat coming from man made chemicals. These chemicals are causing cancer and other health issues including infertility. Your health is ignored as shareholders profit.

@theguardian.com It's time that you stopped giving oxygen to Donald Trump. There's no such thing as bad PR. The constant visibility you give him is exactly what he craves: attention. (Unless it's Epstein.) It normalises what by any standards is outrageous behaviour from a head of state.

When people refer to a green backlash, they actually mean a human existential backlash. Let's start removing the future of humanity from politicised labelling and call it what it is.
It's not green. It's the future viability of life.

US post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond have emitted over 440 million tonnes of CO₂e.
Russia–Ukraine war: ~230 million tonnes.
Rebuilding Gaza: projected 60 million tonnes.
Military emissions are largely excluded from climate agreements.
War is both humanitarian and climate crisis.

They are the air-conditioning units of the world – filtering water, preventing flooding, preserving history and providing habitat. Our human ancestors knew the extraordinary power of peatlands, so why are they still being destroyed?

"Donald Trump is now criticizing the Green New Deal and saying that climate change will create more “waterfront property”." - the Guardian. Mud-filled, flooded property anyone? It's hard not to despair in the face of such gross ignorance as Trump boosts coal mining.

Every time you hear the words "culture war", you can replace it with "protecting vested interests".

We know that the overwhelming majority of people want action on the climate crisis, and know that it will benefit them and the economy.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

It's clearer than day that there is now *enormous* (+ fast increasing) enthusiasm for rewilding in Ireland.

And there's likely nowhere else on Earth with greater need. Let's make this happen. 🌍

Here's a major source of microplastics in soils.
Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased.
It is simply crazy and must stop now.

The daily CO2 number from Mauna Loa exceeded 430 ppm yesterday. This is the first reading above 430 ever recorded.

CO2 levels have not been this high since the Pliocene epoch, 3 to 5 million years ago.
