I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Just the start. Common sense.

Energy efficiency is the unsung hero of Europe’s industrial competitiveness. Without efficiency gains since 2000, industry would use 1/3 more energy—costing tens of billions more every year. It’s not just energy prices that matter, but how smartly we use energy.

For those of you who don't understand what needs to happen to Elon Musk and the other fascist tech-bro oligarchs, I have some recommended reading for you. In fact, I can sum up the whole book in one panel:

A panel from the Dr. Seuss book "Yertle the Turtle," where the arrogant and exploitative Yertle is knocked off of his throne of stacked turtles by a simple burp at the bottom, and winds up falling into the mud as a result.
