In violation of international humanitarian law, Israel is firing #WhitePhosphorus on populated areas of Lebanon. This deadly chemical substance ignites when exposed to oxygen. It can burn flesh "through the bone" & "cause death or cruel injuries that result in lifelong suffering.” #NoToWar #ecocide
War in Iran exposed that Europe failed to stand up to a business lobby that slowed decarbonisation
It committed a "strategic error of slowing a transformation necessary for security & independence....truth is that rearguard action on fossil dependence is bad for business"

America and Israel are in essence waging chemical war in Iran, filling the air above its metropolis with toxic smoke after lighting its oil storage depots on fire.
How is anyone supposed to "rise up" when they can't breathe?

“The Met's own statement shows that they were aware that the meeting was for training in nonviolent direct action, so this raid and the indiscriminate arrest of everyone present is shocking overreach."

Devastating impacts of #ClimateCrisis - failed rains from Oct to Dec in #EastAfrica have pushed almost 26 million people into extreme hunger. 58m don't have access to clean drinking water. Millions of livestock are at risk as drought devastates grazing lands & water sources, threatening livelihoods
“the world had been warming at a rate of around 0.2C per decade since the 1970s, but has “accelerated” since 2015 to a rate of 0.35C per decade”
A great overview of Foster and Rahmstorf’s paper, from @carbonbrief.org

It would be one history‘s great plot twists if Trump has now managed to alert the entire world to why they should transition away from single-use fossils to renewables as quickly as any possible - even while having dismissed global warming.
And Hormuz isn‘t even Asia‘s biggest risk.
Two new mammal species discovered in New Guinea rainforests.
Exciting and sobering news.
How many species disappeared in the last century before anyone even knew they existed?
Discovery reminds us how incomplete our knowledge of biodiversity still is.
Prosecutors in Zimbabwe used lion DNA forensics for the first time to convict two people for poaching and trafficking a male lion near Hwange National Park.
DNA from seized parts matched a radio-collared lion killed in 2024, setting a precedent for using wildlife forensics in court.
The Hague District Court ruled in January that the Netherlands must protect residents of the Dutch municipality of Bonaire from climate impacts.
For @livingonearthradio.bsky.social, Paloma Beltran interviewed @greenpeace.org campaigner Eefje de Kroon, who helped with the case:
‼️ The Bonn Convention’s report on the State of the World’s Migratory Species is grim reading.
• 49% of migratory species populations listed under the CMS are declining, up from 44% in just two years
• 24% of species now face extinction globally, up from 22% in 2024

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

Pro growth rhetoric claiming to care about our suffering natural world 🦔 Britain Remade is a Tufton Street adjacent think tank that promotes building unfettered by environmental legislation
Lough Neagh & the Earl of Shaftesbury‼️
He says he’d give the lake away “for free”. That’s not generosity it’s delay.
He must:
✅ Commit to a timetable
✅ Be transparent
✅ Condemn dredging
✅ Publish dredging contracts
✅ Trigger break clauses
✅ Commit to Citizens’ Assembly

For the stuff used to make renewable energy & battery storage: studies show it will require hundreds of times less extraction than fossil fuel does & that much of it is endlessly recyclable so that when we have extracted enough we can largely stop.

We're highlighting a groundbreaking class action lawsuit to hold the company accountable in court.” “A worker filed a precedent-setting lawsuit against one of the world's largest real estate corporations, alleging Cushman & Wakefield's retirement plan managers breached their duties by failing to protect workers' savings from climate-related financial risks.” Arrow icon pointing right in top right corner.

Background photo of an investment graph. Red text box with “Retirement funds are deferred wages & long-term security that workers rely on. Retirement plans aren't abstract financial products; they're deferred wages, long-term security, and a reflection of how employers care for their people in uncertain times. When these critical savings are invested in underperforming fossil fuel companies and climate exposed real estate, employees shoulder risks they never knowingly agreed to.” Arrow icon pointing right in top right corner.

Gray text box with “The Kvek vs. Cushman & Wakefield class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court Western District of Washington, is the first-ever legal challenge on 401(k) managers for ignoring climate financial risk, alleging that such oversight violates their fiduciary duties. We are supportive of this lawsuit and have been working for several decades to educate and activate both public and private sector workers about risks to their pensions and retirement funds.” Arrow icon pointing right in top right corner.
Background photo of a flaring oil refinery. Red text box with “It's not just Cushman & Wakefield. Instead of safeguarding its workers' futures, companies across the United States are funneling retirement savings into risky funds packed with underperforming fossil fuel companies or high-risk businesses like real estate, that can be severely damaged by the impacts of climate change-fueled extreme weather. No matter who you are or how you vote, your retirement should be secure, and this new landmark lawsuit is arguing just that. Retirement savings should be managed to protect working people, not to bankroll polluters or enrich billionaires.” Arrow icon pointing right in top right corner.
BREAKING: One of the world’s largest real estate corporations, Cushman & Wakefield, is risking its workers’ retirement funds by investing in climate-risky funds.

Rising #SeaLevels due to #ClimateChange threatens tens of millions more people than previously thought. New research found about 90% of 385 scientific studies underestimated baseline coastal water height by average of 30cm with some discrepancies up to 550-760cm

“Measured coastal sea level is higher than assumed in most hazard assessments…the measured values suggest that with 1 m of relative sea-level rise… 48–68% more people (increasing estimates to 77–132 million) would fall below sea level.”

@andrewdessler.com on huge govt subsidies for #FossilFuels. US spends over $81bn every yr to protect oil supply🛢! Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) calculates about 1/5 of US Dept of Defense base budget exists at least partly to keep oil flowing via vulnerable choke points like #StraitOfHormuz
State TV in Iran reports a bombed oil tanker is sinking in the #StraitOfHormuz. 20-25% of global oil supply & 1/5 of liquified natural gas goes via the strait, connecting Persian Gulf & Gulf of Oman. Environmental impacts of #OilSpill could be devastating

"The sprint to clean energy is the only way to get off the volatile international fossil fuels markets, cut bills & deliver energy security"
Fair play to Starmer - this is exactly right. Meanwhile, Badenoch & Farage would have us hooked on more fossil fuels

South West Water admits criminal offence over Devon parasite outbreak.
Water unfit for human consumption, 150 people fell ill.
SWW already has nearly 200 criminal convictions. Licence not cancelled, no exec prosecuted, record high customer bills, sewage dumped in rivers.
Privatisation is a scam.
What a terrible waste!💦
South East Water dumped DOZENS of shrink wrapped packs of plastic water bottles, full of water 🤯
30,000 homes in Kent had NO water before Christmas.
