There have been 5 US National Climate Assessments, each advancing the science of #climate threats, prepared by the nation's top scientists.The 6th will be prepared by climate deniers & MAGA political hacks & will be a scientific embarrassment, forever to be ignored. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

And don't imagine for one moment that it's going to stop here. The pressure for expanding the definition of terrorist to anyone protesting against the Israeli government's genocide is already rising. bsky.app/profile/netp...

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

This is painful to watch. Makes me wonder how he ties his shoes in the morning, cause he's reached the slip-on stage of life.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Outrageous bare-faced lies - it’s extraordinary what the right wing press can get away with. Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for such a thorough debunking

Winston Howes lost his wife. He planted thousands of oak trees in a six-acre field Once it was completed he put a seat in the field, overlooking the hill near where she used to live. He didn't tell anyone Photo: SWNS

It's well worth enduring the moronic and tedious YouTube adverts to hear the denouement. Hard to argue with!

If you want a sense of how MAGAworld sees the motivations behind Venezuela and what might be next, my full interview with Angie Wong might help. Must confess, parts left me pretty stunned. youtu.be/7F9N4eLP0uc?...

Reform UK's Durham chapter are having a completely normal one. Don't tell Sarah Pochin though.

Proud to have contributed to the blockbuster new volume Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment, documenting the many, many ways that corporations & orgs try to block climate action.

I am shocked that an amoral gangster who only months ago was using genocidal language about Palestinians, who uses paramilitary groups to foment violence against his own citizens, who threatens his neighbours and allies, who was Epstein's close buddy, has been passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize.

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Article seen on the CNN website earlier: "No matter where you’re headed, these 51 travel accessories are a must-have" Fifty-one. We're doomed, aren't we? #Anthropocence

More extraordinary still is the sanitising of Kirk's politics. Kirk was - and this is just a straightforwardly factual statement - a far right activist. And here's a former British Prime Minister not merely mourning his death or condemning his murder but actively *praising* his politics.

Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson. Here's a few of those things

We should not underestimate how many people don’t believe ‘human rights’ should apply to humans they don’t like.

BREAKING: More than a thousand people are risking 'terror' arrests in Parliament Square as resistance grows against complicity in genocide and the Palestine Action ban. It is clear from this turnout that the public will not be intimidated.

Mike Higgins, who is blind and wheelchair bound, has joined the Parliament Square protest, to once again oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban. He, and over a thousand others, face a 'terror arrest' because of the draconian proscription of a direct action group.

Brilliant :-)

Trees are dropping leaves to reduce water intake, but many are individuals not benefitting from safety in numbers In our woodland where there has been no significant rainfall for months, there is no leaf loss, & if you scrape your boot on the surface it is still damp beneath

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB

Darkly funny: signs appearing across central London, protesting Starmer’s use of anti-terror laws against peaceful pro-Palestine protesters.

A defiant George Monbiot avoids arrest amid wave of pro-Palestine Action protests @georgemonbiot.bsky.social said it's "an Orwellian situation in which people calling for peace are arrested under the Terrorism Act, while the UK actively assists Israeli state terror" www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Just a reminder that we don't need confirmation whether Trump is a child rapist in some Epstein files. We know he's a rapist, convicted in court.

Imagine being disappeared in one dictatorship, making it to America, and then being disappeared again

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.

The fact is that Reform isn't by any stretch of the imagination a conventional political party. It is a cluster of billionaires in a trenchcoat.
