No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2. Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving. Now Netanyahu’s government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners. Arms embargo now.

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss

🚨NEW: Ofgem price cap raises by 6.4%, meaning customers will pay £111 more on average (per year) on energy bills. Higher energy costs aren’t just due to rising gas prices. Companies are exploiting our dysfunctional energy system for profit. Here’s how they do it. 🧵

The circular logic of climate apartheid: Alphabet can't make its (already bullshit) climate commitments because they have to generate huge emissions for training models that will be used to kill climate refugees.

Genuinely fantastic to see housing and environment treated as a connected issue here. But nothing about emissions or climate impacts. And no reference to how they will help the people who go on to occupy them live sustainably, affordably and safely. www.thetimes.com/article/37ea...

It is great that these companies are cannabilazing humanity’s collective output, burning acres of rainforest, and hoping to create mass unemployment across several industries, so they can publish false information about the most consequential stories of the day.

Many modeling studies depend on direct air capture (DAC) in their 1.5°C stabilization scenarios, but they rely on overly optimistic assumptions regarding the cost and scaling of DAC systems. This leads to highly misleading results that impact the ability to reach climate stabilization goals.
