The Tories left behind a broken Britain. But for the super-rich it's not been a crisis, it's been boom time. Total wealth of UK billionaires ▪️2013: £246 Bn ▪️2023: £684 Bn So they should now pay for the rebuilding of our society. That means a wealth tax on the super-rich.

The unprecedented heat in Northwest Australia is mind boggling. Until this week, only three Australian weather stations on four occasions have hit or exceeded 40°C in Winter. This week alone, it has happened 16 times, over 10 weather stations. Insane.

The greatest challenge the world has ever faced and it has been left to Extinction Rebellion to communicate it? Where are the governments? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Just a reminder... The Green Party is the only party being honest about the damage Brexit has done and with a clear path to fixing it.

Yes! In my town Poisonous Round-up sprayed in our park 50m from the school. It drifts! Let’s be like Paris and ban pesticides in cities, say UK campaigners. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Time to stop all carbon capture and all subsidies to it Carbon capture = more CO2 = more air pollution = more fossil mining = more fossil infrastructure Big Oil Is the Winner From Dutch Carbon Capture Subsidies desmog.com/2024/08/27/big… Michael Barnard DeSmog Robert Howarth

The silent Spring New evidence shows a stark decline in the number of wild bee sightings, with appearances of some species dropping as much as 56% in areas of high pesticide use compared to areas with no pesticide use. scitechdaily.com/silent-spring-…

GB News evaded normal standards by claiming to OFCOM that they aren't a news channel. Today they want to be treated as a news channel. Both things at once, like Schrödinger's twats.

BREAKING 🚨: The UK government has decided not to defend the case against Rosebank. This is a massive win and a huge step towards stopping Rosebank for good.

Britain's most productive wind farm comes online and is sending power south from the Shetland Isles Expected to have a load factor of 48%, should supply over the year enough power for around half a million homes bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Governments must stop underestimating the damage caused by leaked methane. Emissions are still converted to a CO₂-equivalent based on warming impact over 100 years (28x CO₂). But 20 years is much more realistic (83x CO₂), meaning its impact is three times worse than assumed.

The project to reintroduce Corncrake to East Anglia is showing signs of progress, with nine singing males recorded at Welney WWT this summer: bit.ly/4cGUGtG

Such a tragedy We are facing #climate collapse and World spends billions on fake solutions such as carbon capture that have consistently failed to do anything other than make fossil fuel industry even richer and now hundreds more billions to be given theguardian.com/business/artic…

There's a piece going around arguing that climate disinformation isn't a serious obstacle to climate action. IMO it rests on several incorrect premises, so I wrote a response. If you saw Holly Jean Buck's piece, I hope you'll take a look at this, too. 1/19 jacobin.com/2024/08/climat…

“Before #Drax is promised a penny extra from billpayers, Miliband should commission a properly independent review of burning wood pellets to generate electricity. It should cover environmental impact, and the stupendous subsidies” 🧵 theguardian.com/business/nils-…

If the badger cull is not needed in 2026. It is not needed now! This is a bizarre decision. If it is needed keep it going, if it is not stop now. Are thousands of badges going to die because someone has plucked 2026 out of the air?

Untreated sewage was continuously discharged into beautiful Lake #Windermere, a SSSI, for seven days. The water companies treat us with contempt, your bills rise, the bosses get bonuses. Are you OK with this? 1/2 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's far nastier to paint over a children's Disney mural at an asylum seeker dentention centre than to take down a portrait of Thatcher at 10 Downing Street. Tell me I'm wrong.

The UK has fully privatised Energy, the France fully nationalised. Any questions?

This will be my last post here on X. Finally moving over to Bluesky completely, after trying it for a while. Hope to see and follow lots of you over there in future. Cheers, Ken @redbilledchough.bsky.social
