The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.

Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

We heard the Cicada's "singing" in the trees opposite the holiday apartment in Liguria. On closer inspection today I found several exoskeletons from the Cicada nymphs, now emerged as adults, attached to the trunks of the trees. Possibly the ones we heard singing the past few days!

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza."

My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide.

"Il Ciabot", my attempt at a linocut print. Still a bit to learn and improve. (A Ciabot is a Piemontese term in north west Italy, for a kind of hut/small building, often in the middle of vineyards).

It's time to reduce your meat consumption, if you haven't already done so. You don't have to give up completely, just reduce, although I've been vegetarian for 53 years now and I can vouch for it.

Revealed: world’s largest meat company may break Amazon deforestation pledges again
Revealed: world’s largest meat company may break Amazon deforestation pledges again
Brazilian ranchers in Pará and Rondônia say JBS can not achieve stated goal of deforestation-free cattle * Bibles, bullets and beef: Amazon cowboy culture at odds with Brazil’s climate goals * The life and death of a ‘laundered’ cow in the Amazon rainforest The world’s largest meat company, JBS, looks set to break its Amazon rainforest protection promises again, according to frontline workers. Beef production is the primary driver of deforestation, as trees are cleared to raise cattle, and scientists warn this is pushing the Amazon close to a tipping point that would accelerate its shift from a carbon sink into a carbon emitter. JBS, the Brazil-headquartered multinational that dominates the Brazilian cattle market, promised to address this with a commitment to clean up its beef supply chain in the region by the end of 2025.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany.

“BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”
The full front cover is dominated by a picture of Zelenskyy. The word BETRAYED is written in German (VERRATEN) across his chest in yellow. The rest of the subtitle is underneath.

Found some photographs of self portraits I drew/painted many years ago: "but I was so much older then I’m younger than that now". The painting (colour) was called Mr Gray's School Daze! Whatever happened to it? I think I still have the other two drawing somewhere.

Shooting birds is not a "sport"; it's a cruel and outdated pastime that has no place in a modern, compassionate society.
