There is an extremely worrying, unprecedented legal development in Australia #auspol that appears designed to suppress public expressions of concern about climate change and the activities of large companies that continue to develop fossil fuel resources

Dear oh dear. The EBRD, the public development bank that used to pride itself on being more green, more in touch with climate concerns than the European Investment Bank

Mim loved roses, and sometimes I think she is God.

If people could see oil and gas pollution through my lens, the fracking boom would never have happened.

BREAKING: Independent UN Investigation led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna concludes Israel provided NO evidence to substantiate their claims against UNRWA.

Big lies that led counties like the US & UK to withdraw funding of the only humanitarian organisation…

It's good for a new generation of young people to see exactly what centrists and mainstream liberals are.

EU demand for LNG will likely peak this year, says its energy regulator 🇪🇺🚢

☀️ *If* the bloc meets renewable targets, “the gas demand reduction foreseen by 2030 will be slightly over 200 bcm relative to 2019”

Finally! Been extremely weird seeing all the industry chat fixating on “transition risks” and not paying the slightest bit of attention to actual wildfires, hurricanes etc etc

Germany has lost its mind, an ongoing series.

Bravo!

Cutting opening remarks at UNSC from Slovenia.

33,000 dead now. Lots of talk. No action. Aid workers being targeted & killed. Fact that intl is paralysed is not acceptable.

Global south is looking on at world leaders credibility is shredded

Some guy's got the gush for Lord Dave & it's hard not to see why. Dave reminds Campbell of Blair.

In an age of political robots, being able to deliver smooth, messianic & delusional bromides (given working class Ukrainians are more & more doomed) – Campbell loves a bit of that

The wind is blowing, the sun is (periodically) shining, temps are warm(ish), the small nuclear fleet is broadly not knackered, and it's a brutal afternoon for the UK's gas fleet. Zero OCGTs running and even the CCGTs are quiet as a church mouse.

When I was working Bankwatch 20 yrs ago, we were making the case for EU funds to catalyse housing stock retrofits across central & eastern Europe – obvious solution. As to communal building 'agreement,' the CZ black comedy Vlastnici (The Owners) is seminal. Cc Martin Konečný

I was doing lectures 20 years ago about how democracy and liberalism were becoming unstuck from each other. Here we see the latest stage of the process: Starmer being positively gushed over by relatively junior commentariat for having had the good sense to lie to his own members.

Shannon LNG paid over €30 million to Irish State Bodies during its failed planning process: €2.4 million to Kerry County Council - Comhairle Contae Chiarraí, €25 million to Shannon Group and €3.5 million to EirGrid Plc. Both EirGrid and Shannon Group are the responsibility of Eamon Ryan!
