And solar farms don't have to be barren expanses of solar collectors. In MN, they converted solar sites into pollinator habitats that tripled total insect abundance and yielded a 20-fold increase in native bees. theecorevolution.substack.com/p/solar-hone...

It's completely beyond me how authorities can continue to ignore this fundamental issue, especially given that we KNOW that with climate breakdown floods will only keep getting worse. Pay farmers to rewild NOW.

Eoghan Daltun 🌍@irishrainforest.bsky.social

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream. One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it. Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.

Meanwhile in Ukraine
@meanwhileua.bsky.social

Merkel clarified today that Russia — not Ukraine — started this war. Her earlier wording targeted leaders who ignored Putin for years. She admits appeasement helped create the disaster we see now. And her message to Europe: backing Ukraine is the only way to stop it.

The rainforest the world forgot. The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss. Why then, is it so neglected? share.google/HrPOEJxfATQX...

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Trump attacks Sadiq Khan again, claims he wants Sharia Law. All racist bullshit, all the time. #UN

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Trump at the UN: "I look at London where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law." This is entirely false. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is politically moderate and has never ever called for Sharia law. This is Islamophobic propaganda and a bigoted attack on Khan.

Watch the US closely for a very possible 'Burning of the Reichstag' event, engineered by the Nazis in 1933 Germany as cover for the suspension of free speech, civil liberties, and all genuine political opposition. Trump and his allies do not intend to relinquish power, if they can get away with it.

JD Vance, who attacked Pres. Zelenskiy in the White House on Friday, was booed by hundreds of protesters in Vermont when he took his family there for a skiing trip the next day. Fox News says the demonstrators, who called him a traitor and warmonger, lined the road for a mile.
