The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:

* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc

AND

* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero

I kid you not, it is that stupid

Fight Over Venezuelan Oil Highlights Shadowy International Legal System - Inside Climate News Trump said the socialist government “stole” from American oil companies. Those firms have been seeking billions in compensation through a controversial arbitration system.

"The week after the Trump administration sent the military to Venezuela, it withdrew from more than 60 international organizations and treaties. One not included in the mass withdrawal: The World Bank’s ISDS convention."

Imprisoned hunger striker linked to Palestine Action tells friend: ‘I’m dying’ Francesca Nadin visited Heba Muraisi, 31, in a Wakefield prison at the weekend and says ‘her body is shutting down’

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Right-wing media usually suggests the world is unstable and out of control, even where it isn't, usually blaming an out-group. Where you have vulnerable people suffering from climate chaos, and often displaced, and increasing inequality, it's not going to point the finger at friends of its owner.

'Fossil fascism' is also the thesis of Andreas Malm and @zetkincollective.bsky.social in 'White Skin, Black Fuel'.

A divisive, ultra-nationalist movement is a slick way to block collective action for sustainability.

It's a positive feedback, negative social tipping point climate vicious circle...

This is a good thing. Highly recommend.

🚨 The news-media is utterly failing to cover these momentous scientific findings.

The public is not being informed of the danger posed.

The UK chief scientist Dame Angela McLean just highlighted this as an issue of national security - why are no news outlets covering it ?!? 🤯

Trump's nuclear testing will start a nuclear arms race - it must be stopped - CND The announcement by Donald Trump that the US plans to restart nuclear testing is a wake-up call that the threat of nuclear war is real and accelerating.

"It is absolutely critical that we rachet up the political pressure to make these world leaders...step back from this nuclear escalation. Now more than ever, we need global nuclear disarmament."

Over half a million Jamaicans are without power and 15,000 are in shelters after Hurricane Melissa tore through the island.

Treasury 'poised to miss out on £250m in tax receipts from Rosebank oil development' Campaigners have warned the economic case for approving the Rosebank oil field does not stack up

Yes, but without the current superdeduction, fixed until 2030, the project could still go ahead and be a net income for the Exchequer (even though that doesn't of course justify the environmental and human costs of Scope 3 emissions). The loss comes later.

My postbag has been filled with letters from constituents asking me to sign the #StopRosebank pledge. It's something I'm happy to back, because I support a just transition and fixing the UK’s broken energy system so we can mitigate climate breakdown through real solutions.

Revealing article. Exactly how the 'junktanks' retain their influence needs even more delving.

Maybe the words 'growth' and 'deregulation' can be code for domination by rich/corporations, like 'freedom' and 'democracy' are sometimes used as code for domination by US rich/corporations.
