Burning question of the moment in England and Wales! Footage of our meeting on @greenparty.org.uk and electoral alliances. Is a united Left/Green alternative in English and Welsh politics an unattainable ambition or a realistic and urgently necessary possibility? youtu.be/6npbru7Sdyc

Proud that @greenparty.org.uk is standing up against #Genocide and #Apartheid - no compromise with complicity. Support for BDS is a long-established Green Party policy - more important with the present horrendous Israeli Government policy in Gaza and the West Bank than ever.

Here we go again, adaptation as the solution - even though IPCC says clearly that there are hard and soft limits to adaptation, so we have to reduce emissions. Not to say that we don't need to adapt, but it is not an alternative. The US is knowingly being misleading to avoid admitting the science.

Update - my monthly climate change dashboard... Higher resolution graphic available at zacklabe.com/climate-chan...
This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through 2025. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 427 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1943 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 338 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA ESRL. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.

Some highlighted text from the article reading “Some Greens get it”A longer version of the previous picture, reading “Some Greens get it, such as deputy leader Zack Polanski, who understands that caution and playing safe in an age of rage is a doomed strategy. A new leftwing faction - Greens Organise - is determined to shift the party, but they need to move past the predictable infighting that often afflicts the left.” Greens Organise logo.
