Gonna set fire to my neighbour's house because he is gonna set fire to my house. I have no evidence that he is gonna set fire to my house, but I'm doing a pre-emptive strike. BRB. If my neighbour retaliates, you must kill him for me. This is how self-defence works ♥️

We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

Political donations ensure that interests of the super-rich are writ large in govt policies.

Capital gains & dividends are taxed at lower marginal rates than wages. No NIC is levied.

Income of private equity bosses taxed as capital gains.

Bribery pays but normal people can't play the game.

Another El Nino Already? What Can We Learn from It? James Hansen, Pushker Kharecha, Dylan Morgan and Jasen Vest

James Hansen’s latest update is a wake-up call. Since 2010, warming has accelerated by 50%. Hansen: "The 1.5°C limit is deader than a doornail." We’re on a fast track to 2°C; even natural cooling cycles can't offset the trapped heat.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

Thinking about lying Climate denial taught our leaders shamelessness

The GOP learned to lie--shamelessly and obviously--from three decades of climate denial.

(LAPD) brutally beat a non-resisting, unarmed protester with their hands raised at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Concentration Camp in Downtown Los Angeles on 1/31/26

What I call climate 'appeasement' - the idea that climate breakdown isn't actually going to be that bad - is growing fast, and presents as great a threat as climate denial

Climate appeasers denigrate reality as alarmism, so fostering inertia and inaction

We are in deep, deep, sh*t - fact

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

Our world is hurtling into climate disaster and what do politicians give us? Oilfields and new runways | Bill McGuire In the name of ‘pragmatism’, green measures are being ditched, net zero derided. Be very clear: without slashing emissions we are in deep, deep trouble, says UCL professor Bill McGuire

today is the three-year anniversary of the covid infection that turned into long covid. it has completely rewritten the course of my life. it has brought me untold levels of physical suffering. it has devastated my mental health.

Be Loud — For America By Governor JB Pritzker

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

WORLD RECORDS of High night temperatures are being smashed above 500m, 1000m, 1500m asl.
There is nothing in the past 3 centuries of climatology which can compare to what's happening today.
Records are locally broken by 5/10C margins, hugest margins ever seen worldwide.

Wildfire burns through northern suburb of Athens as residents told to evacuate People in Kryoneri, north-east of the Greek capital, receive SMS messages telling them to get to safe areas

Only a matter of time before a wildfire wipes a major city from the face of the planet

Will people sit up and take notice then?

Will governments and fossil fuel corporations act to slash emissions?

Will they hell

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

Europeans are kept completely oblivious about the rate of summer warming.

Gross negligence from those responsible to keep us informed and safe.

Climate models with low sensitivity to greenhouse gases do not align with satellite measurements Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought unless society acts, according to a new ...

In other words, sad for the world, sad for the trees, bad news for all the fishes in the deep blue sea, bad news for you and me.

Oh look, American researchers say the new HKU5-CoV-2 virus, which is closely related to MERS, is just one 'small' mutation away from being able to infect and cause outbreaks in humans.

Highlights Fatiguing syndromes affect millions of patients in the United States and globally, but are grossly underserved in the clinic and in the contemplative design of basic research. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex multisystem metabolic-immune-inflammatory disorder. Although research on this condition is in its infancy, it appears to involve the immune system and central nervous system malfunction, with cellular oxidative stress as a predominant feature. Approximately half of the cases of long-haul coronavirus disease 2019 meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, burgeoning the number of affected individuals. Recent strides in neurobiology have yet to transfer the understanding of the neurodegenerative aspects, and potential for neuroprotection, of ME/CFS. ME/CFS may represent a useful paradigm and research model for the study of the impact of sustained oxidative stress on the central nervous system and the body at large.
