We’ve lost our sense of belonging to the world we live in. Every war and irrational act of violence, every forest cut down, every poisoned river is a reflection of how far we’ve drifted from nature and ourselves! This isn’t just the planet dying, it’s us, disappearing with it!

Zack Goldsmith: “There’s no sign currently that the UK will back President Lula’s groundbreaking plan to reverse destruction of the world’s great tropical forest basins, even though it was constructed with much UK input.” Groundbreaking plan? Seriously? theguardian.com/environment/20…

While claiming to lead on climate, Lula’s gov is pushing for oil exploration in the Amazon’s Equatorial Margin, rebuilding BR-319 (which would slice through untouched rainforest), & advancing mining & dam projects that threaten Indigenous lands and biodiversity!

May the memory of the 250 journalists murdered in Gaza be honored in the **Genocide Museum** that must be part of the reparations program owed to the Palestinians, when the genocide actually ends. PS. Deleting a killed journalist's account is to kill them twice.

Italy, Japan & India join Brazil to 4x global “sustainable” fuel output by 2035. The IEA calls it feasible. We call it greenwashing. Biofuels aren’t sustainable, they’re a false solution! argusmedia.com/en/news-and-in…

Forests collapsing, bats dying, apes infected—the planet is running a fever. Habitat loss and climate change are creating a perfect storm of pathogens. Like COVID, humanity will treat it as fiction until it becomes the headline.
